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 O󰀨set Adapter,
use Listed double wall ue connector. An authorized
Outside Air Kit must be used with manufactured home
installations.
3. Residential: The 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent
Adapter Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent
O󰀨set Adapter are tested to use 24 gauge single wall
ue connector or Listed double wall ue connector to
Class A Listed metal chimneys, or masonry chimneys
meeting International Conference of Building O󰀩cials
(ICBO) standards for solid fuel appliances.
4. Install vent at clearances specied by the vent
manufacturer.
5. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with
at least 3 screws or rivets per the pipe manufacturer’s
instructions. 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.
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:
- Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) below;
- Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) horizontally from;
- Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows;
- 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 so󰀩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.
WARNING
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever
possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature
silicone (500°F [260°C] minimum rated only). Do
not put silicone inside of pipe.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Follow Chimney Connector Manufacturer’s
Instructions for Proper Installation.
ONLY use connector:
• Within the room, between appliance and ceiling
or wall.
• Connector shall NOT pass through:
- Attic or roof space
- Closet or similar concealed space
- Floor or ceiling
Maintain minimum clearances to combustibles
