Vent Information

A. Venting Components

In order to comply with applicable codes and product warranties, use only following venting components:

• Hearth & Home Technologies (HHT)

• Simpson Dura-Vent

• Selkirk Direct-Temp

• Amerivent Direct

• Security Secure Vent

DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING COMPONENTS. Refer to the venting manufacturer’s

instructions.

This product is approved to be vented either horizontally, through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You may vent through a Class A or masonry chimney if an approved adapter is used.

This appliance is a direct vent heater. All combustion air must come directly from the outside of the building. The vent pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an outer pipe. The inner pipe carries the appliance exhaust out of the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh combustion air into the appliance.

• A round support box/wall thimble or heat shield is required when the venting passes through a combustible wall.

• A support box or ceiling ﬁrestop is required when the venting passes through a ceiling.

• Roof ﬂashing and a storm collar are required when venting passes through the roof.

• Follow instructions provided with the venting for installation of these items.

Use of Elbows

CAUTION

ALL vent conﬁguration speciﬁcations MUST be followed.

• This product is tested and listed to these speciﬁcations.

• Appliance performance will suffer if speciﬁcations are not followed.

Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect. (See Figure

5.1.)

Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90° elbow. On 45° runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 in. (216mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216mm) vertical run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two elbows. (See Figure

5.1.)

C. Measuring Standards

Vertical and horizontal measurements were made using the following standards.

• Pipe measurements are from center line to center line.

• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside of the mounting surface (ﬂange of termination cap). See Figure 4.1 on page 8.

• Vertical terminations are measured to the top of the last pipe before termination cap.

• Horizontal pipe installed level with 1/4 in. rise.

D. How to Use the Vent Graph E. Venting Guidelines

1. Measure the vertical distance from the center line of the flue pipe to the center of the 90° elbow. On the graph below, draw a horizontal line from that measurement on the vertical axis across until it intersects with the slanted line.

2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.

3. The point at which this line meets the bottom line of the graph is the maximum length of the horizontal run.

EXAMPLE 1: If the vertical dimension from the center line of the ﬂue vent to the center of the 90° elbow is 7 ft. (2m), the horizontal run to the outer wall ﬂange must not exceed 16 ft. (5m).

EXAMPLE

2: If the vertical dimension from the center line

of the ﬂue vent is 21ft. (6m), the horizontal run to the outer wall ﬂange must not exceed 12 ft. 10 in. (4m).

4. Each 90° elbow is equivalent to 3 ft. (914mm) of vent pipe and each 45° elbow is equivalent to 1ft. (305mm) of vent pipe, and must be subtracted from the vent pipe run. A single horizontal to vertical 90° elbow is already calculated into the allowable 20 ft. (6m) run. Each additional 90° elbow reduces the maximum horizontal distance by 3 ft. (914mm).

EXAMPLE:

The use of 3 elbows would reduce the allowable horizontal run to 9 ft. (3 -1 = 2 elbows x 3 ft. = 6 ft.; 20 ft. max. - 6 ft. = 14 ft. max.).

NOTES

The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 ft. (6m) when the vertical vent rise is 10 ft. (3m). The minimum horizontal vent run is 6 in. (152mm) Horizontal sections require a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise for every 12 in. (305mm) of horizontal travel. Exterior Vent Diameter = 6-5/8 in. (168mm); Inner Vent Diameter = 4 in. (102mm). Horizontal sections require noncombustible support every 3 ft. (914mm), e.g. wall straps. For any vertical termination a minimum of 6 ft. (2m) vertical must be used.

EXCEPTIONS FOR HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS: *When installing the Topaz in a rear vent configuration with no vertical rise, a Snorkel Kit must be used. *The maximum horizontal vent run is 3 ft. (914mm). *The maximum horizontal vent run with a 45° elbow is 2 ft. (609mm). *The minimum horizontal vent run is 6 in. (152mm).

INDIVIDUAL INSTALLATIONS MAY VARY. PERCENTAGE CLOSED BASED ON FULL RANGE OF DAMPER TRAVEL.

NOTE

: If your installation falls within the gray-shaded area on graph, see information on VERTICAL DAMPER ADJUSTMENT in Section 8.

*In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the word damper shall be replaced with the words flue restrictor.

Direct vent pipe is designed with a locking connection. To connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built into the appliance at the factory. Wall thickness may vary. Remember to include wall thickness in minimum clearances when figuring venting lengths for your installation needs.

Note: Female ends of direct vent pipe/elbows are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes by orienting the pipe indentations so they match and slide into the entry slots on the male ends, see Figure 5.4. Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs may not be visible from the outside. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends.

Step 3.

For installations using a round support box/wall thimble (check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for a 10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the center line of the horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure 5.5. Cut and frame the hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178mm) diameter hole is acceptable.

NOTE:

(1) Installation requires a minimum of 6 in. (152mm)

horizontal run of vent with a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise run towards the termination. Each 1 ft. (305mm) of horizontal venting must include a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a house or structure fire.

(2) The location of the horizontal vent termination on an

exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must not be easily blocked or obstructed, see Figure 4.4 on page 9.

(3) For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior

of the building, a snorkel kit is available with a 14 in. (356mm) and a 36 in. (914mm) tall snorkel termination cap. Follow the same installation procedures as used for standard horizontal terminations. If the snorkel termination must be installed below grade (i.e. basement application), proper drainage must be provided to prevent water from entering the snorkel termination. Do not backfill around snorkel termination.

Step 4.

Position the horizontal termination cap in the center of the 10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole and run a bead of non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, so as to make a seal between it and the wall, attach termination cap to the exterior wall with the four wood screws provided. The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up (Figure 5.6).

If you are not using an approved termination cap with a built-in vinyl siding standoff on a building with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding standoff should be installed between the termination cap and the exterior wall (Figure 5.8). Follow manufacturer’s instructions for attaching the vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal termination cap. The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding material. The vent terminal cap shall not be recessed into a wall or siding. Remove siding from the area where the standoff will be located.

Figure 5.11

Step 2.

Set the gas appliance in its desired location. Drop a plumb

bob down from the ceiling to the position of the appliance flue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will obstruct the venting system. You may wish to relocate the appliance, or to offset, as shown in Figure 5.12 to avoid cutting loadbearing members. When location is determined, drill small hole.

NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 40 ft. (12m) Figure 5.11).

NOTE: Maximum number of 45° elbows permitted for a vertical installation is eight, provided their installation does not decrease maximum allowable horizontal run (as specified by vent graph, on page 11).

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Risk. Maintain vent clearance to combustibles as speci-

ﬁed.

• Do not pack air space with insulation or other materials.

Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from vent pipe may cause ﬁre.

Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the appliance up through the round support box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.

Step 5.

Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles, as specified. Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling support box/wall thimble up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roofline. The galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline, due to its higher corrosion resistance.

NOTE:

(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions,

it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 ft. (914mm) to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose, Figure 5.12, page 15.

CAP AND STORM COLLAR NOT SHOWN FOR CLARITY

Figure 5.14

Shingles overlap on top edge of flashing

Step 7.

Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of the vent (before adding the termination cap) meets the minimum code requirements as outlined in the current CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Codes (in Canada), the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in USA), or local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased. See Roof Pitch Table (Figure 4.3, on page 8). In high wind conditions, nearby trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or down drafting. In these cases increasing the vent height or switching to the high wind termination cap may solve this problem.

Step 8.

Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down to the top of the flashing (Figure 5.15). Use non-hardening sealant above and below the joint between the storm collar and the pipe.

Optional High Wind Termination Cap

Secure Flashing with Non-Hardening Sealant and Roofing Nails

(2) Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°

elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of flue gases and intake air.

Step 6.

Slip the flashing over the pipe section(s) protruding through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof with roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 5.14. Verify that the chimney is the required height above the roof. See roof pitch table, Figure 4.3, on page 8.

Step 1.

Follow installation Steps 1 and 2 under vertical installation section, page 15.

Step 2.

Using the plumb-bob, mark the center line of the venting system on the ceiling, and drill a small hole through the ceiling and roof at this point. From the roof, locate the drill hole and mark the outline of the cathedral ceiling support box.

Step 3.

Remove shingles or other roof covering as necessary to cut the rectangular hole for the support box. Cut the hole 1/8 in. (3mm) larger than the support box outline.

Step 4.

Lower the support box through the hole in the roof until the bottom of the support box protrudes at least 2 in. (51mm) below the ceiling (Figure 5.17). Align the support box both vertically and horizontally with a level. Temporarily tack the support box in place through the inside walls and into the roof sheathing.

Step 5.

Using tin snips, cut the support box from the top corners down to the roofline, and fold the resulting flaps over the roof sheathing (Figure 5.18). Before nailing it to the roof, run a bead of non-hardening mastic around the top edges of the support box to make a seal between it and the roof. Clean out any combustible material from inside the support box.

Step 8.

Install the black trim collar around the outside of the cathedral ceiling support box (Figure 5.19). The two pieces of the trim collar slide over one another to allow for easy adjustment around the support box. Using the six screws provided, secure the four corners and the overlapping sections of the trim collar to the ceiling. You may want to predrill the holes for the overlapped sections for ease of installation.

CAUTION

Ensure that existing chimney is functionally sound and clean.

• Have inspection done by qualified chimney sweep or professional installer BEFORE converting to direct vent appliance.

Step 1.

Before cutting any holes, assemble the desired sections of direct vent pipe to determine the center of the masonry penetration.

Step 2.

Once the center point of the penetration has been determined, cut a 6 in. (152mm) diameter hole in the masonry. If the hole is too large, the retro connector might not mount properly; if the hole is too small, the appliance might starve for intake air. If there is a frame wall in front of the masonry wall, cut and frame a 10 in. (254mm) square opening in the wall (centered around the 6 in. (152mm) masonry opening). If there is sheet rock only (no studs) in front of the masonry the 10 in. (254mm) opening is still needed, but does not need to be framed. If the hole is framed a round support box/wall thimble is required. This allows the retro connector to mount directly on the masonry and provide the correct clearances to combustibles (Figure 5.25).

Cut and bend flashing as needed to fit

Step 4.

To determine the length of flex needed, measure from 3 in. (76mm) above the top of the flashing down to the level of the opening. Add the distance from the center of the chimney out through the wall. Cut a piece of 4 in. (102mm) flex to this length (extended to its nominal length). Be sure to leave 2-3 in. (51-76mm) of flex above the existing chimney to allow for connection to the termination kit.

Step 5.

Connect the flex liner to the top adapter using three sheet metal screws (Figure 5.21 page 19).

Step 3.

Secure the flashing to the top of the masonry chimney using a bead of non-hardening sealant-adhesive. If the flashing is larger than the top of the chimney, cut and fold flashing as needed to fit chimney (Figure 5.26).

Step 6. Feed the flex liner through the flashing into the chimney. Carefully feed the flex liner down the chimney to the bottom and out the opening in the masonry wall, forming an angle to line up the flex liner with the vent opening on the appliance.

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Risk.

Do not let the ﬂex liner sag below the level at

K. Damper Adjustment

FOR TOP OR REAR VENT INSTALLATIONS

L. Shutter Adjustment

See Vent Graph for Recommendations on page 11 before you begin your adjustment. If your installation falls

within the range of the gray shaded area of graph, it may be necessary to make an adjustment to the vertical damper to improve the flame appearance in your appliance.

Figure 8.32 TOP VENT INSTALLATIONS:

Locate the damper adjustment on the intake plenum. Access through the appliance front. Adjustor is centered at the top of the appliance.

Make adjustment:

Let appliance warm up before adjusting. Loosen screw using a Phillips head screwdriver.

OPEN

Figure 8.34 The shutter is located on the underside of the

appliance, on the right side. To adjust the shutter, loosen the wingnut..

Moving the shutter bolt to the right closes the shutter. Moving the shutter bolt to the left, will open the shutter. Opening the shutter causes flames to become shorter and blue. Closing the shutter creates taller orange/yellow flames.

NOTE: Do not close so much as to cause a sooty flame. Improper adjustment can cause sooting in the firebox and/or on the outside of a house with a horizontal termination.

After adjustment, tighten wingnut to lock in place.

Pivot the vertical damper adjustor in 1/4 in. (6mm) increments while observing the ﬂame activity.

Turning clockwise to open damper = less ﬂame height and more blue in ﬂame color.

Turning counterclockwise to close damper = increased ﬂame height and more yellow in ﬂame color.

Make adjustment until ﬂame size and activity suits your personal preference, and then retighten screws on adjustment control.

Figure 8.33 REAR VENT INSTALLATIONS:

damper is located in the back of the firebox behind the rear brick panel. It is recommended to make adjustment prior to installation. Remove front/glass/ logs and brick if installed. Loosen screws and slide up to suggested settings. Reinstall accordingly... Tighten screws.

D. After Appliance is Lit

Initial Break-in Procedure

When you light your appliance, you may notice that it produces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation on the glass is normal.

NOTE: The appliance should be run three to four hours on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely. Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to cure the products used in the paint and logs.

During this break-in period it is recommended that some windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.

WARNING

Fire Risk. High Temperatures.

Keep combustible household items away from appliance. Do NOT obstruct combustion and ventilation air.

• Do NOT place combustible items on top of or in front of appliance.

E. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUE SOLUTIONS

Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms,

this condensation will disappear.

Blue ﬂames This is a result of normal operation and the ﬂames will begin to yellow as the appliance

is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

Odor from appliance When ﬁrst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the ﬁrst several hours.

This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. If appliance has not been used for some time, dust can build up and cause an odor.

Film on the glass This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be

cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.

Metallic noise Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down,

similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of the appliance.

Troubleshooting

With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualiﬁed service person in the diagnosis of a problem and the corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualiﬁed service technician.

Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action

1. After repeated triggering of the piezo button, the spark ignitor will not light the pilot.

2. The pilot will not stay lit after carefully following the lighting instructions.

a. Defective ignitor. Check the spark at the electrode and pilot. If no spark and electrode

wire is properly connected, replace the ignitor.

b. Defective pilot or misaligned electrode (spark at electrode).

c. No gas or low gas pressure.

d. No LP in tank. Check the LP (propane) tank. You may be out of fuel. a. Defective thermo-

couple.

Using a match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and trigger the piezo button again. If the pilot lights, an improper gas/air mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge period is recommended. If the pilot will not light, ensure the gap at the electrode and pilot is one-eighth (1/8) inch to have a strong spark. If the gas is OK, replace the pilot.

Check the remote shut-off valve from the appliance. Usually, there is a valve near the gas main. There can be more that one (1) valve from the appliance and the main.

Check that the pilot ﬂame impinges on the thermocouple. Clean and /or adjust the pilot for maximum ﬂame impingement.

Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully inserted and tight (hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).

3. The pilot is burning, there is no gas to the burner, the valve knob is in the ON position, and the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.

Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt lead wire on the tip of the thermocouple and the other meter wire on the thermocouple copper lead. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less than 15mV, replace the thermocouple.

b. Defective valve. If the thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts, replace faulty

valve.

a. ON/OFF switch or wires defective.

b. Thermopile may not be generating sufﬁcient millivoltage.

Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place the jumper wires across the terminals at the switch. If the burner comes on, replace the defective switch. If the switch is OK, place the jumper wires across the switch wires at the gas valve. IF the burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections are bad.

If the pilot ﬂame is not close enough physically to the thermopile, adjust the pilot ﬂame.

Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve terminals are tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the pilot bracket.

Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the reading at THTP&TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 325 millivolts minimum, while holding the valve knob depressed in the pilot position, with the pilot lit, and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the speciﬁed minimum.

With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads from the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The reading should be 325 millivolts minimum. Replace the thermopile if the reading is below the minimum.

3. (Continued) c. Defective valve. Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON position. Check the millivolt meter at the thermopile terminals. The millivolt meter should read greater than 125mV. If the reading is acceptable, and if the burner does not come on, replace the gas valve.

a. Pilot ﬂame may be too high or too low, or blowing (high), causing safety pilot to drop out.

a. No LP in tank. Check the LP (propane) tank. Reﬁll the fuel tank. b. Inner vent pipe

leaking exhaust gases back into the system.

c. Horizontal vent improperly pitched.

d. Bad thermopile or thermocouple.

e. Improper vent cap installation.

ment. b. Improper shutter

setting. c. Debris around

opening at base of burner.

a. Insufﬁcient oxygen being supplied.

Check the burner oriﬁce for stoppage. Remove stoppage.

Follow the corrective action in Symptom and Possible Cause 1.a. Check the switch and wiring. Replace where defective.

Clean and adjust the pilot ﬂame for maximum ﬂame impingement on thermocouple. Follow lighting instructions carefully.

Check for proper vent connection at ﬂue collar and all vent joints.

The horizontal vent cap should slope down only enough to prevent any water from entering the appliance.

Replace if necessary.

Check for proper installation and freedom from debris or blockage.

Adjust the log set so that the ﬂame does not excessively impinge on it. Check that logs are placed according to installation instructions.

Adjust the air shutter at the base of the burner.

Inspect the opening at the base of the burner. NO MATERIAL SHOULD BE PLACED IN THIS OPENING.

Ensure that the vent cap is installed properly and free of debris. Ensure that the vent system joints are tight and have no leaks.

Ensure that no debris has been placed at the base of, or in the area of the air holes in the center of the base pan beneath the burner.
