Hearth Requirements
The JUVS must be installed on rigid flooring. If the appliance is installed on any combustible surface other than wood flooring, such as carpet or tile, a metal or wood panel must be installed to extend the full length and width of the unit.
W A R N I N G
•Do not install this heater in a bathroom or bedroom.
•Installation of this heater must conform with Local Codes or in the absence of Local Codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
•This heater creates warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to the heater. Installing the heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the air such as tobacco smoke exist, may discolor walls.
•Do not use a blower insert, heat exchanger insert or other accessory not approved with this heater.

JUVSR & JUVSM Vent-Free
Certified to:
ANSI Z21.11.2a-2001
Unvented Heaters
The installation of your Vermont Castings stove must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition. (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude up to 4,500 feet (1,370m). Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5” w.c. for Natural Gas and 11.0” w.c. for LP Gas.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manufactured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or local codes.
This appliance is to be used only with the type of gas specified on the rating plate which is attached to the rear panel. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases.
*Aftermarket: Completion of sale, not for purpose of resale, from the manufacturer.
High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are certified without deration from elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
Nuisance outages may occur at altitudes above 4,500 feet (1,370m) if dirt, dust, lint and/or cobwebs are allowed to accumulate on burner and/or ODS pilot. Monthly inspection and cleaning is recommended for altitudes above 4,500 feet (1,370m)
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m), installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual for correct installation and operational procedures. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
Odor During Operation
Neither natural gas nor propane gas give off an odor when burned. The nature of a vent free combustion system, however, is such that odors may occasionally be produced during heater operation when impurities exist in the immediate area. Cleaning solutions, paint, solvents, cigarette smoke, candles, adhesives, new carpet or textiles, etc., all can create fumes. These fumes may mix with combustion air and can create odor. Such odors will disappear over time, however the condition can be alleviated by opening a window or otherwise providing additional ventilation to the area.

Vermont Castings Jefferson Vent Free Gas Heater
Vent Free Features
The JUVS Gas Heater is an unvented gas appliance tested and listed to the ANSI standard Z21.11.2a.2001. The Vent Free Gas Heater is configured to use Natural Gas, (JUVSRN, JUVSMN ) or Propane (JUVSRP, JUVSMP). Because these heaters are clean-burning and highly energy-efficient, no venting system is required.
The JUVS is shipped fully assembled with the exception of the log set. The log set is assembled during installation.
The JUVS is equipped with a Honeywell control valve that allows thermostatic control, on/off switch or a remote switch (not supplied).
The JUVS model incorporates variable regulators that allow you to adjust burner heat output between HIGH, (28,000 BTU), and LOW, (20,000 BTU). See the Operation Section for details.
The standing pilot incorporates an Oxygen Depletion System (ODS/pilot) which shuts off gas flow to the burner in the event that sufficient fresh air becomes unavailable for continued safe operation.
Fresh Air Requirements for Combustion and Ventilation
W A R N I N G
This heater must have fresh air for proper operation. If it does not, poor fuel combustion could result. Read the following instructions to ensure proper fresh air supply for this and other fuelburning appliances in your home.
Modern construction standards have resulted in homes that are highly energy-efficient and that allow little heat loss. Your home needs to breathe, however, and all fuel-burning appliances need fresh air to function properly and safely. Exhaust fans, clothes dryers, fireplaces and other fuel burning appliances use the air inside the building. If the available fresh air supply is insufficient to meet the demands of these appliances, problems can result.
The JUVS heater has specific fresh air requirements. You must determine that these requirements will be met within the space where the appliance will be installed. The following information will help you insure adequate fresh air is available for the heater to function properly.
Provide for Adequate Ventilation
Any space within a home can be classified in these categories:
1)Unusually tight construction
2)Confined space
3)Unconfined space
First, determine which classification defines the intended installation space.
Unusually Tight Construction
You must provide additional fresh air if the space falls into this classification. Unusually Tight Construction is defined as construction wherein:
a.Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor barrier with a rating of one perm or less, with openings gasketed or sealed, and
b.weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors and
c.caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around windows and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall and ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at all other openings.
If your home meets all of the above criteria, you must provide additional fresh air for the appliance as detailed on Page 7.
If your home does not meet the above criteria, follow the procedure below.
Determine If You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space
Use the following formula to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
Space is defined as the room in which you will install the heater, plus any adjoining rooms with doorless passageways or ventilation grilles between the rooms.
The National Fuel Gas Code defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour input rating (4.8m3 per Kw) of the aggregate (total) input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8m3 per Kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
1. Determine the volume of space (length x width x height). Include adjoining rooms connected by doorless passageways or ventilating grilles.
Example: A room that is 18’ x 12’ x 8’ has a volume of 1728 cubic feet. An adjoining open kitchen that is 10’ x 12’ x 8’ has a volume of 960 cubic feet. An adjoining open dining room is 12’ x 12’ x 8’ with a volume of 1152 cubic feet. The total volume is 3840 feet. (1728 + 960 + 1152)
