MECHANICAL VENTING

SINGLE UNIT INSTALLATION

When mechanical venting of these heaters is desired, the
following kits are available.
SBD 120 through the SBD 200/A
State part number 193933
SBD 250/A through the SBD 500/A
State part number 193933-1
Where an approved power venter is to be installed to operate in
conjunction with the water heater thermostat, the following codes
must be adhered to. Field wiring should conform to the latest
version of the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70. For
Canadian installations the electrical connections and grounding
shall be done in accordance with the current Canadian Electrical
Code CSA C22.1 Part 1 and/or local codes.
NOTE: The power venter must be installed downstream of the
drafthood. See figure 13.
FIGURE 13

VENT INSTALLATION

Seal all joints between the power venter and the vent termination.
This is to prevent leakage of exhaust products into the room(s)
due to positive pressure of blower.
The "Sequence of Operation" description will be the same with
mechanical venting except,
When the appliance thermostat calls for heat:
Thermostat contacts "Close" and the power venter blower
(120 VAC) is energized. Sufficient draft must be established for
the "Draft Prover Switch (N.O.)" to "Close". When the draft prover
switch "Closes" the relay coil of the flue damper is energized.
See side wall vent kit installation manual for complete
instructions.
