DV400S DIRECT VENT ROOM HEATER

1.Preparing the Wall for Horizontal Termination.

A hole measuring 10” wide and 10” high must be cut and framed in the exterior wall where venting will be terminated.

The height of the hole must be located to meet all local and national codes and not be easily blocked or obstructed. The minimum height to the center of the horizontal vent is 591/2'' from the base of the unit. This figure will increase by the length of each verti- cally positioned vent section added to the venting system. See Figure 4.

2. Assembling Venting Sections.

Use only vent supplied or listed for use with this Heater. To attach a straight section to the top of the Heater, female end down, slide the pipe over the outer Collar on the Heater while the inner flue will slip over the Vent Inner.

MAINTAIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES OR

GREATER AROUND THE VENT SYSTEM. Do not pack air spaces with insulation or other material.

If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non- combustible material (i.e.: masonry block or con- crete) a 7 inch diameter hole is acceptable. It is recommended that for masonry walls the vent be wrapped with fiberglass insulation to prevent contact with the masonry as the contact promotes premature deterioration of the vent.

NOTE: For buildings with vinyl siding, a Vinyl Siding Standoff should be installed between the vent cap and the exterior wall. Attach the Vinyl Siding Standoff to the Horizontal Vent Termination. The Vinyl Siding Standoff prevents excessive heat from possible melt- ing the vinyl siding material. NOTE: The HHW2 cap incorporates it's own vinyl siding standoff. See Fig. 8.
