CHIMNEYS

Complete familiarity with chimney con- dition, height, size, clearance to combus- tibles and other factors is essential.

NOTICE: Consult the authority having jurisdiction in your area regarding masonry chimney vent- ing applications.

NOTICE: A complete chimney inspection by a qualified person should be performed.

Appliances using B-vent connectors to vent into a masonry or factory-built chimney should not exceed 1 1/2 feet in length for every inch of connector diam- eter (3" vent connector has a maximum 4 1/2 foot length; 5" connector has maxi- mum 7 1/2 foot length).

Oversized chimneys should be relined with appropriate listed relining systems.

Cleanout access may be required.

RELINING SYSTEMS

Suitability and approval of relining ma- terials should be determined.

Condition, size, height, and termina- tion of the chimney to be relined must be determined.

No substitution of components should be made.

Joints and connectors should be made according to manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTICE: Consult the authority having jurisdiction in your area regarding listed chimney liner venting applications.

RELINING SYSTEMS WARNING: Operation of im- properly installed and maintained venting system could result in serious injury, property damage, or loss of life.

HIGH ALTITUDE

INSTALLATION

Your Vanguard B-vent burner system has been AGA tested and approved for eleva- tions from 0-2000 feet and CGA certified for elevations from 0-4500 feet.

When installing this burner system at an elevation above 2000 feet (in the USA), you may need to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. Check with your local gas company for proper orifice size identi- fication and proper orifice for your location.

When installing this stove and burner sys- tem at an elevation above 4500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.

For assistance with any high altitude instal- lation contact DESA International’s Tech- nical Service Department at 1-800-DESA- LOG (1-800-337-2564).
