Step 4. Installing the Vent System

A. Vent System Approvals

Model 8000TVD is approved to use 6-inch (152mm) diameter B-type vent. B-type vent must be used when the vent system is within combustible construction.

These models may also use single wall rigid or flexible gas vent IF and ONLY IF the vent system is installed within non-combustible construction such as a masonry chimney. The same diameter noted above for B-type vent must be used for single-wall vent. See Figure 5.

For B-type vent the clearance to combustibles is 1-inch. Follow vent manufacturers REQUIRED clearances.

The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.

B. System Components.

Vent System Configuration

RISE TO RUN RATIO = 2:1

MAXIMUM TOTAL HORIZONTAL RUN = 15 FT.

MINIMUM TOTAL VERTICAL RISE = 9 FT.

MAXIMUM NO. Of ELBOWS: 2 - 90o or 4 - 45o

Plan and install the vent system using the parameters shown above.

!WARNING: YOU MUST NOT EXCEED THESE PARAMETERS.

Connect a B-Type vent component to the flue outlet collar. Look at the vent pipe through the holes in the 10 5/8” ring to check that the vent pipe is attached.

NOTE: It is always better to first attach a straight section of vent to the unit before attaching an elbow. Avoid using elbows in the vent system if possible.

A 90-degree elbow can be attached directly to the unit. If it is, it can be followed by a MAXIMUM 15-feet horizontal run, a second 90-degree elbow ending in a minimum 30 foot vertical.

A minimum of 9 foot vertical rise ending in a listed termination cap is required for the unit.

Continue to add vent components, until the vent run is completed.

WARNING: YOU MUST NOT EXCEED A TOTAL ! MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN OF 15 FEET FOR

THE ENTIRE VENT SYSTEM.

NOTE: The vent termination must be in a vertical posi- tion and the termination cap must be listed for the vent pipe used.

Consult Local Building Code Officials and Codes for proper vent system installations.
