REAR VENT HORIZONTAL TERMINATION

When venting off the rear of the unit and terminating horizontally, a #45 natural gas orifice or a #55 propane orifice must be used.

FIGURE 14a

The maximum allowable length is 20 feet. All 90° and 45° elbows (except the first two when venting horizontally) re- duce the length by 5 feet each, both horizontally and verti- cally). In this illustration, the maximum allowable length after taking the two elbows into account is 10 feet.

CALCULATED HORIZONTAL VENT RUN IN FEET

Care should be taken not to damage the gas pipe. When removing the orifice, using a 9/16" socket wrench, a 7/8" back-up wrench must be used on the manifold, located below the housing, to ensure that the aluminum tubing does not twist or kink.

STOVE TOP

TOP VENT FILLER PLATE

7" COVER

Unscrew and discard the top vent filler plate. Lift off the cast stove top. Unscrew the four screws holding both the top heat shield and the 7" flue collar in place and lift off.

Lift the gasket off. Unscrew the 4 screws securing the 4" collar and its gasket in place and remove it and the knock- out from the rear panel. Remove the 7" and 4" covers and gaskets from the back. Position the 4" gasket and cover over the flue opening in the top.

Use the chart on this page to calculate horizontal runs for vertical rises between 29 and 57 inches.

When calculating maximum run lengths, include 5 feet for each 90° or 45° elbow.

(DO NOT INCLUDE THE FIRST TWO ELBOWS DIRECTLY OFF THE UNIT WHEN VENTING HORIZONTALLY.)
