Do not terminate vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
CAUTION
A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1. Chimney & Connector: Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be vented
vertically or horizontally.
2. Mobile Home: Approved for all Listed pellet vent. If using
the 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit or the 3
to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter, use Listed
double wall fl ue connector. An authorized Outside Air Kit
must be used with manufactured home installations.
Canada factory built, chimney installations requires instal-
lation to conform with CAN/ULC-S629.
3. Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter
Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter
are tested to use 24 gauge single wall fl ue connector or
Listed double wall fl ue connector to Class A Listed metal
chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting International
Conference of Building Offi cials (ICBO) standards for solid
fuel appliances.
4. INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5
. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with at
least 3 screws or rivets per the pipe manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. Also secure all connector pipe joints with at least 3
screws through each joint.
6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever pos-
sible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F
[260°C] minimum rated only). Do not put silicone inside of
pipe.
B. Venting Termination Requirements
1. Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation. It is
strongly recommended that at least 60 inches (1.5m)
of vertical pipe be installed when appliance is vented
directly through a wall. This will create a natural draft,
which will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor
venting into the home during a power outage. It will also
keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard by
exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. The
safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent
vertically through the roof.
2. Distance from doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) horizontally from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows;
a. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below; horizontally
from or above.
4. Distance between bottom of termination and grade should
be 12 inches (305mm) minimum. This is conditional upon
plants in the area, and nature of grade surface. The grade
surface must be a non-combustible material (i.e., rock,
dirt). The grade surface must not be lawn. Distance
between bottom of termination and public walkway should
be 7 feet (2.13m) minimum.
5. Distance to combustible materials must be 24 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
• Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl soffi ts.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.
Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns if
touched. Non-combustible shielding or guards
may be required.
