C. CONTROL KITS: The following are the most commonly used Control Kits. CK-20F: For operation with 30 millivolt or 750 millivolt gas-fired water heaters, gas-fired space heaters and gas-fired pool or spa heaters with an internally mounted thermostat. Includes a non-adjustable post purge timer. Use the CK-22 for an adjustable post purge timer. II. CK-21: For operation with gas-fired instantaneous water heaters with a pressure tap port in the burner manifold.

* Reducer or increaser ratio (d/D) small diameter divided by the larger diameter. Example 4" to 8" reducer, the reducer ratio is d/D = 4/8 = 1/2. To estimate the equivalent foot length for the fitting, use the smaller pipe diameter for the equivalent length figure. Example 4" to 8" reducer; the reducer ratio is 1/2 and the smaller pipe diameter is 4". So, from the Typical Pipe Fitting chart, the equivalent feet would be 7 feet. Example: System Pipe Size = 4" Step 1: 2 - 90° Elbows (4") = 14 Ft.

I. V. On oil-fired and gas-fired heating appliances not equipped with a draft hood, a barometric draft control MUST be installed to regulate proper air flow and fluctuations in the system's air flow during operation. Fluctuations can come from wind loads on the outlet of the venter, house depressurization during windy days and the different house ventilation requirements between summer and winter operation. For gas appliances use a Field Controls Type MG-1 Barometric Draft Control.

Diagram A PVE Side Wall Vent Termination Locations VI. CONNECTING VENTER TO APPLIANCE: The venting system should be installed and supported in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code A.N.S.I.Z223.1, or in accordance with any local codes. A vent pipe connector shall be supported for the design and weight of the material employed, to maintain clearances, prevent physical damage and separation of joints. A vent pipe increaser or reducer may be required for connecting the venter to the vent system.

A. ADJUSTING THERMOSTAT ANTICIPATOR: If connecting the Power Venter system to a gas appliance with a thermostat anticipator, refer to the following to make adjustments. Disconnect one side of the thermostat circuit at the gas valve or burner control, and connect an ampere meter into the circuit. With the system running, take an amperage reading on the circuit. Check the nameplate or instructions for the thermostat to obtain the proper amperage level. Adjust amperage level by moving the anticipator lever.

procedure may be necessary to determine safe operation of the equipment. If it is determined that a condition exists which could result in unsafe operation, the appliance should be shut off and the owner advised of the unsafe condition. Corrections must be made before the appliance is put into continuous operation. The following steps should be followed in making a safety inspection. X. 1.

4. System Safety Devices: With the heating system operating disconnect the pressure sensing tube from the pressure switch on the CK kit. This should stop the burner operation. Reconnecting the tube will relight the burner. For 30 millivolt operating systems, disconnect one lead of the spill switch circuit from the thermocouple junction block. This should shut off the pilot and the burner. Re-connection will allow relighting the pilot. XI.
