NOTICE	Failure to follow these in-
	structions will void the war-
	ranty.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Consult local building codes before beginning the instal- lation. The installer must make sure to select the proper vent system for installation. Before installing vent kit, the installer must read this fireplace manual and vent kit in- structions.

Only a qualified installer/service person should install venting system. The installer must follow these safety rules:

•Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.

•Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on rooftops.

•Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings.

The following actions will void the warranty on your vent- ing system:

•Installation of any damaged venting component.

•Unauthorized modification of the venting system.

•Installation of any component part not manufac- tured or approved by MHSC.

•Installation other than permitted by these instruc- tions.

INSTALLATION PLANNING

“B” VENT PIPE

See venting installation instructions provided by the B- Vent manufacturer.

NOTE: This APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED using “B” vent type pipe that has been listed by a nationally rec- ognized testing agency.

Refer to B-Vent Pipe Sizing chart for proper elbow offset runs.

B-Vent Pipe Sizing

BBV400	SBV400	SBV500
4”	6”	6”

Chimney centerline dimensions are referenced on Pages 6 & 7, Figures 2 & 3.

•Minimum vertical chimney height - 8’ as measured from top of unit to top of termination.

•Minimum vertical height - 40’ as measured from top of unit to top of termination.

•Minimum chimney height with two (2) 90° elbows - 8’.

•Elbow requirements: Allow a maximum of two (2) 90° elbows or four (4) 45° elbows per installation.

NOTE: Two (2) 45° elbows = one (1) 90° elbow

•Horizontal run must never exceed 50% of the height of the vent system. Horizontal runs are measured center pipe to center pipe.

•Horizontal runs must have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot and may not run level or down hill.

Attaching 4” Flue to BBV:

•The first section of B-vent flue should overlap the appliance collar. The appliance collar may be crimped to ease the installation of the first section of flue.

•Do not penetrate the pipe inner liner with sheet met- al screws. Attach the initial flue section to the top of the firebox chassis with 1/4” self-tapping screws and plumbers strap. Attach the strap toward the bottom of the flue section and pull taut for proper tension to the firebox.

Attaching 6” Flue to SBV:

•The 6” appliance collar is slightly larger that the in- ner wall of most B-vent 6” pipe sections. Install the first section of B-vent by slipping the flue’s inner wall tot he inside of the appliance collar. The B-vent outer wall will slip to the outside of the appliance collar.

•Do not penetrate the pipe inner line with sheet met- al screws. Attach the initial flue section tot he top of the firebox chassis with 1/4” self-tapping screws and plumber’s strap. Attach the strap toward the bottom of the flue section and pull taut for proper tension to the firebox.

Support the Pipe

•Support horizontal runs a minimum of every five (5) feet. Refer to vent manufacturer’s instructions for proper support on vertical runs (45° or less).

•Support offsets so the weight of the pipe is not bear- ing down on the elbows.
