Radiance Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater

Vertical Termination - Direct Vent ONLY

A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 8’ (2.44m) and no more than 40’ (12m) above the appli- ance flue collar. A 2¹⁄" restrictor plate (supplied) must be used, where specified, in all vertically terminated vent systems. (Refer to Figure 8) NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with the vertical termination should be discarded. Install restrictor plate supplied with stove directly at stove outlet. A vertically terminated vent system must also conform to the following criteria:

No more than three 90° elbows may be used.

Two 45° elbows may be substituted for one 90˚ el- bow. No more than six 45° elbows may be used.

Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet before off- set is used.

Termination height must conform to roof clear- ance as specified in Figure 9.

*The Restictor Plate is used on Direct Vent installations only.

Vent Termination Clearances

When planning the installation, consider the location of the vent terminal and clearances. Some of the most common clearances to keep in mind are shown in Figure 9.

Important: All vent clearances must be maintained. Check your vent termination clearances against Figures 9 through 11.

The vent should be placed so that people cannot be burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when the stove is operating.

The vent termination should be located where it cannot be damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn mowers or snowblowers and it should be located away from areas where it could become blocked by snow, etc.

Some considerations are:

Obstructions or impediments to venting.

Nearby combustible materials that could come into contact with combustion exhaust gases.

Other nearby openings {within 12” (305mm)} through which exhaust gas could reenter the building.

All vegetation within 3’ (76mm) that may interfere with the draft.

Other factors that influence where the installation will be sited include the location of outside walls, where additional heat may be desired in the home, where the family members gather most regularly, and perhaps most importantly, the distance limitations of the venting system.

IMPORTANT

Direct Vent Only

The horizontal termination must not be recessed into the exterior wall or siding.

Horizontal vent runs must be level toward the vent termination.

Clearances around the vent termination must be maintained.

For installations using Simpson DuraVent pipe, parallel installations with minimum wall clearance have restricted access for connecting the Hori- zontal Vent Cap straps to the vent pipe. See the maker’s instructions for recommended installa- tion procedures.

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.
