Vent Termination Below Grade

Install Snorkel Kit #7FSDVSKS when it is not possible to meet the required vent termination clearances of 12” (305mm) above grade level. The snorkel kit will allow installation depth of down to 7” (178mm) below grade level. The seven inches is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates the wall. If the venting system is installed below grade, a window well must be installed with adequate and proper drainage. (Fig. 31)

NOTE: Be sure to maintain side wall clearances and vent run restrictions. Refer to Page 6, Figures 3, 4, 5, 6.

1.Establish the vent hole through the wall.

2.Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16” (400mm) below the base of the snorkel. Install a window well (not supplied). Refill the hole with 12” (305mm) of coarse gravel and maintain a clearance of at least 4” (100mm) below the snorkel. (Fig. 31)

3.Install the vent system as described on pages 15-18.

4.Be sure to make a watertight joint around the vent pipe joint at the inside and outside wall joints.

5.Apply high temperature sealant around the inner and outer snorkel collars. Join the pipes and fasten the snorkel termination to the wall with the screws provided.

6.Level the soil to maintain a 4” clearance below the snorkel.

If the foundation is recessed, use extension brack- ets (not supplied) to fasten the lower portion of the snorkel. Fasten the brackets to the wall first, and then fasten to the snorkel with self-tapping #8 x 1/2” sheet metal screws. Extend the vent pipes out as far as the protruding wall face. (Fig. 30)

Vertical (Through the Roof)

Vent Assembly

Note that all vertically terminated installations must, where specified, use the restrictor plate to comply with Vertical Termination Window (Page 7, Figure 8), included in the hardware bag. The plate must be installed within the firebox inner flue collar to insure a proper air/fuel ratio is maintained in an appli- ance vented through the roof.

Vermont Castings is renowned for its exceptional wood stoves and fireplaces, and the RDVOD series stands as a testament to their commitment to craftsmanship, efficiency, and innovative technology. The RDVOD 3399, RDVOD 3350, RDVOD 3360, RDVOD 3390, and RDVOD 3369 models embody a blend of traditional aesthetics and modern functionality, making them standout choices for homeowners seeking warmth and style.

One of the main features of the RDVOD series is its high-efficiency rating. These models utilize Vermont Castings' advanced combustion technology, which optimizes fuel usage, resulting in more heat output from less wood. This not only reduces overall wood consumption but also minimizes emissions, making these stoves environmentally friendly options for heating.

The RDVOD stoves are designed with robust cast iron construction, ensuring durability and longevity. The cast iron provides excellent heat retention and leads to a more consistent warmth in the home. Additionally, the stylish design of these models allows them to seamlessly integrate into various home decors, from rustic to contemporary.

Key technologies incorporated into these stoves include the patented "Biltmore" technology, which enhances the efficiency of the burning process. This technology ensures that the fire burns hotter and cleaner, providing more heat while reducing the pollutants released into the atmosphere. The adjustable air controls allow users to easily manage the flame and heat output, ensuring personalized comfort.

The RDVOD 3399, RDVOD 3350, RDVOD 3360, RDVOD 3390, and RDVOD 3369 also feature large glass doors that showcase the fire, adding visual appeal to any living space. The seamless integration of the glass doors with the cast iron design contributes to the overall aesthetic while allowing for easy monitoring of the fire.

Safety is another priority in the design of the RDVOD stoves. They come equipped with features like a removable ash pan, which simplifies cleanup and maintenance, and the air-wash system, which keeps the glass clean, providing an unobstructed view of the flames.

In summary, the Vermont Castings RDVOD series – including models 3399, 3350, 3360, 3390, and 3369 – exemplifies high efficiency, exquisite craftsmanship, and thoughtful technology. With their combination of aesthetic appeal and functional performance, they offer an optimal heating solution for today’s homeowners seeking comfort and elegance in their living spaces.
