WITH VERTICAL

TERMINATION

(MUST USE REDUCER

# 946-606 AND RIGID PIPE ADAPTOR

#770-994)

Note: All vertical terminations are vented using 4" x 6-5/8" venting and reducer #946-606 and rigid pipe adaptor #770-994.

1) Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances (air spaces) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter, or other nearby

NOTE: For best results and optimum performance with each approved venting system, it is highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac” sealant (supplied) to every in- ner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in drafting or performance issues not covered under warranty. Silicone (red RTV) is optional.

5)Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles of 1-1/2". Slip the flashing under the shingles (shingles should overlap half the flashing) as per Diagram 3.

combustible surfaces. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Check "Venting" Sections for the maximum vertical rise of the venting system and the maximum horizontal offset limitations.

Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which the vent passes through must be enclosed.

of the appliance flue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof.

3)A Firestop spacer must be installed in the floor or ceiling of every level. To install the Firestop spacer in a flat ceiling or wall, cut a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole as shown in Diagram 2 and install the firestop.

4)Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow connections are in the fully twist-locked position and sealed.

Diagram 3: The upper half of the flashing is installed under the roofing material and not nailed down until the chimney is installed.

This allows for small adjustments.

6)Continue to assemble pipe lengths.

Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 feet, to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose.

Note that for steep roof pitches, the vertical height must be increased. A poor draft, or down drafting can result from high wind conditions near big trees or adjoining roof lines, in these cases, increasing the vent height may solve the problem.

7)Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails, slide storm collar over the pipe section and seal with a mastic.

8)Install the vertical termination cap by twist- locking it.

GAS LINE

INSTALLATION

The gas line is brought through the right side of the appliance. The gas valve is situated on the right hand side of the unit and the gas inlet is on the right hand side of the valve.

The gas line connection may be made of rigid pipe, copper pipe or an approved flex connector. (If you are using rigid pipe, ensure that the valve can be removed for servicing.) Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult with your local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation code.

For USA installations follow local codes and/ or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

When using copper or flex connectors use only approved fittings. Always provide a union so that gas lines can be easily disconnected for servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and flex connectors are usually considered to meet this requirement.

Important: Always check for gas leaks with a soap and water solution or gas leak detector. Do not use open flame for leak testing.
