DIRECT VENT SPECIFICS - MODEL GDS50
VENTING LENGTHS &
AIR TERMINAL LOCATIONS
Use only Napoleon or Simpson
When using Napoleon venting components, use only the following vent kits: WALL TERMINAL KIT GD175
These vent kits allow for either hori- zontal or vertical venting of the
stove. FIGURES 4, 5, & 6. The maxi- mum number of 4" flexible connec-
tions is two horizontally or three vertically (excluding the stove and
the air terminal connections). | 40 |
|
When terminating vertically, the minimum vertical rise is 34 inches above the stove and the maximum vertical rise is 40 feet. FIGURE 4. Deviation from the minimum ver-
tical vent length can create diffi-FIGURE 4 culty in burner
carboning.
For optimum flame appear- ance and stove perfor-
mance, keep the vent length and number of el-
bows to a minimum. On extreme vent configura-
tions, allow several min- utes
unobstructed at all times.
Examine the air terminal at least once a year to verify
that it is unobstructed and undamaged.
The maximum horizontal run is 34 inches with a 90o elbow located 29" above the stove. FIGURE 5.
The maximum horizontal run with a 57 inch vertical rise immediately above the stove is 20 feet FIGURES 6.
FIGS 6
Use an adjustable pipe as the final length of rigid piping to the stove for ease of installation.
We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through unheated spaces be wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensation and reverse flow symptoms. See Trouble Shooting for details.
HORIZONTAL RUN NOT TO EXCEED VERTICAL RISE
IF VERTICAL RISES GREATER THAN 57 INCHES ARE NECESSARY, THE INCREASED RISE MUST BE DEDUCTED FROM THE HORIZONTAL RUN.
A terminal shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located betweeen two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.
Do not allow the inside liner to bunch up on hori- zontal or vertical runs and elbows. Keep it pulled tight. a
All horizontal runs must have a minimum ¼ inch rise per foot.
