**a vent shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings.

***only permitted if veranda, porch, deck or balcony is fully open on a minimum of 2 sides beneath the floor, or meets Note 2.

Note 1: On private property where termination is less than 7 feet above a sidewalk, driveway, deck, porch, veranda or balcony, use of a listed cap shield is suggested. (See vents components page)

Note 2: Termination in an alcove space (spaces open only on one side and with an overhang) are permitted with the dimensions specified for

vinyl or non-vinyl siding and soffits. 1. There must be 3 feet minimum between termination caps. 2. All mechanical air intakes within 10 feet of a termination cap must be a minimum of 3 feet below the termination cap. 3. All gravity air intakes within 3 feet of a termination cap must be a minimum of 1 foot below the termination cap.

Figure 4.4 Minimum Clearances for Termination

Note 3: Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

Note 4: Termination caps may be hot. Consider their proximity to doors or other traffic areas.

Note 5: Location of the vent termination must not interfere with access to the electrical service.

WARNING: In the U.S: Vent system termination is NOT permitted in screened porches. You must follow side wall, overhang and ground clearances as stated in the instructions.

In Canada: Vent system termination is NOT permitted in screened porches. Vent system termination is permitted in porch areas with two or more sides open. You must follow all side walls, overhang and ground clearances as stated in the instructions.

Heat & Glo assumes no responsibility for the improper performance of the appliance when the venting system does not meet these requirements.

CAUTION: IF EXTERIOR WALLS ARE FINISHED WITH VINYL SIDING, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT A VINYL PROTECTOR KIT BE INSTALLED.

Cyclone-BN, Cyclone-BC specifications

Hearth and Home Technologies has made significant strides in the realm of home heating with its Cyclone series, which includes the Cyclone-BC and Cyclone-BN models. These wood-burning fireplaces are engineered with cutting-edge technologies that ensure efficient and environmentally friendly heating, making them popular choices for homeowners seeking both functionality and aesthetics.

One of the standout features of the Cyclone series is its innovative air wash system. This technology works to keep the glass panel clean by directing a stream of pre-heated air along the inside surface, effectively reducing the accumulation of soot and ash. As a result, users can enjoy a clear view of the mesmerizing flames without the hassle of constant cleaning.

In terms of efficiency, the Cyclone-BC and Cyclone-BN models boast an exceptional thermal efficiency rating. Thanks to their advanced combustion technology, these fireplaces burn wood more completely, resulting in less smoke and harmful emissions. The high-efficiency design not only benefits the environment but also ensures that heat is maximized, helping to lower heating costs for homeowners.

The construction of the Cyclone fireplaces is another highlight. Built with high-quality materials, these units are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use and maintain their performance over time. Their robust firebox is engineered to accommodate larger logs, offering longer burn times and fewer reloads.

Both models are highly versatile in their aesthetic appeal. The Cyclone-BC features a classic, traditional design that fits seamlessly into a variety of home decors, while the Cyclone-BN leans toward a more contemporary style. Homeowners can customize the look even further with different finishing options, allowing for a personalized touch that complements their unique interior settings.

Safety is paramount in the design of the Cyclone series. These fireplaces come equipped with advanced safety features, including a protective screen and secure door latch, providing peace of mind for families. Additionally, the heat output can be easily controlled, allowing users to adjust the flame and temperature to their desired comfort level.

In conclusion, Hearth and Home Technologies’ Cyclone-BC and Cyclone-BN fireplaces deliver on both performance and style. With efficient heating capabilities, innovative technologies, and a range of design options, these wood-burning units are an exceptional choice for those looking to enhance their living space while enjoying the warmth and ambiance that only a real fire can provide.
