• For IntelliFire® and IntelliFire® Plus models, an RC100, RC200, or RC300 and PV-IPI-CK control system is required for installation (except on PRIMO models). The PV-IPI-CK is sold separately.

• For IntelliFire Touch® models, an IFT-ACM and IFT-RC400 are required for installation. The IFTRC400, which includes the IFT-ACM, will need to be purchased if the appliance is not already equipped with IFT.

• The battery-backup feature cannot be used with models congured with the PVI-SLP-B.

• The wired wall switch feature cannot be used with models congured with the PVI-SLP-B.

• An appliance with PVI-SLP-B installed cannot be operated with battery-backup or a wired wall switch.

A. Components and Service Parts List

Service Parts List

Replacement parts can be obtained from your dealer. Repair of the Power Vent should only be done by a qualied service technician.

Note: The battery back-up and wired wall switch feature of any IPI system are removed when the PVI-SLP-B power vent is installed. The replace may no longer be operated with battery back-up and/or a wired wall switch.

The PVI-SLP-B operates on 120VAC, 60Hz electrical service which is supplied at the replace junction box.

IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTE: When the control being used to run the replace is activated, a 120 second delay will occur before ignition occurs. This is to allow a pre-purge by the PVI-SLP-B. If replace does not light after 135 seconds, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this instruction for further direction. There will also be a 20 minute post-purge in which the PVI-SLP-B will continue to run after appliance is turned off.

B. Installation of PVI-SLP-B

1. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

a. This device must be installed by a qualied installer

in accordance with these instructions.

b. Safety inspection of the venting system should

be performed before and after installation of this power vent. Consult local code ofcials and follow applicable installation codes.

c. DO NOT INSTALL DAMAGED EQUIPMENT OR

VENT COMPONENTS.

d. Disconnect electrical power supply before making

wiring connections.

e. Venting of more than one appliance in a common

vent system is prohibited.

f. Clearances between the vent pipe and combustible

materials must be maintained at 1-1/2-inch top, 1-inch sides and bottom.

g. All outer pipe joints must be sealed with high tem-

perature silicone. See Section 2.A.

h. The access panel opening must be located such

that access for service and adjustment is available. The NEC requires a minimum of 30 inches of space around the opening and 36 inches in front of the opening to the access panel. Consult ofcials having jurisdiction regarding regional requirements.

CAUTION! Failure to install, operate, and maintain the power venting system in accordance with manufacturer's instructions will result in conditions which may produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTICE: The blower motors present in this Power Vent will generate sound during operation. The effects of the increased sound level can be minimized with careful planning during installation of the system. Locating the Power Vent service access grill in an area remote of immediate living space will reduce the effects of the added sound generated during operation.

2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS. DO NOT install PVI-SLP-B with the access panel facing upward. Overheating may occur.

NOTICE: Installation of the PVI-SLP-B in an attic is not recommended in regions where temperatures reach 0°F (-18°C) and relative humidity exceeds 60% simultaneously. Low temperatures and high moisture content may cause the PVI-SLP-B to freeze.

a. If the PVI-SLP-B is being installed in a conned space

(such as a utility closet, mechanical room or attic space) with a total volume less than 250 cubic feet, an access hole with minimum dimensions of 8 inches by 16 inches will be required directly in front of the access panel. The recommended access hole size is 12 inches by 17 inches. This size will allow full access to the 11 inch x 16 inch access panel on the PVI-SLP-B. See Figure

3.1. The conned space where the PVI is installed, and the space to which the access hole opens, must add up to at least 250 cubic feet. This hole may be covered with a decorative cover as long as the cover has a minimum of 50% open air. If the PVI-SLP-B is being installed in a space greater than 250 cubic feet the access hole is still required, but a solid cover may be used. This also applies to a replace chase.

The decorative cover CANNOT be located on an outside

wall that is open to the environment.

b. For installations near loose-ll insulation (such as attics)

a minimum clearance of six inches must be maintained between the access panel and the insulation.

c. The PVI-SLP-B CANNOT be installed with the access

panel facing upward.

d. The exit termination of mechanical draft systems shall

not be less than seven feet above grade when located adjacent to public walkways.

e. A mechanical drafting venting system shall terminate at least

three feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet.

Vent Information and Diagrams

A. Installation of Vent Pipe

For information on standard procedures for venting the

appliance, refer to the "Vent Information and Diagrams"

section of the appliance installation manual. For the allowable pipe lengths and elbow combinations for

an appliance utilizing the PVI-SLP-B, consult the Power Vent diagrams in the Vent Information and Diagrams section of the appliance installation manual. The PVI-SLP-B uses SLP pipe (6-5/8 inch) connections for both the inlet and outlet.

The following termination caps are available for use with the power vent inline (PVI-SLP-B): SLP-TVHW, SLP-LPC, SLP-TRAP, SLP-HHW2, SLP-HRC-SS, SLP-HRC-ZCSS, SLP-TB1. Check installation manual for termination caps specications.

In certain cases, a pipe adapter may be used in the vent run. The DVP-2SL adapts from 5 in. / 8 in. DVP series starting collars to 4 in. / 6-5/8 in. SLP series vent pipe.

Either SLP or DVP venting may be used throughout the vent run except on certain models that require DVP pipe. See Table 2.1. Refer to Section 2.B for more information regarding venting regulations.

SLP pipe may be used on the termination side of the PVI.

All outer pipe joints must be sealed with high temperature silicone (with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating), including the slip section that connects directly to the horizontal termination cap.

• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female out-

er pipe joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 2.1.

• Apply aluminum foil tape (300 ºF minimum continuous

exposure rating) to the outside of connecting joint after joining sections. On horizontal pipe runs, it is recommended that the tape seam is positioned on the bottom side of the vent pipe.

• Only outer pipes need to be sealed. All unit collar, pipe,

slip section, elbow and cap outer ues shall be sealed in this manner, unless otherwise stated.

B. Vent/Pipe Regulations

WARNING! Risk of Fire!

Maintain minimum pipe length between appliance and PVISLP-B on all models. Combustible materials surrounding pipe may overheat.

1. A minimum length of venting is required between the

appliance and the PVI-SLP-B. This minimum length requirement varies for the specic appliance. Refer to Table 2.1. for requirements for specic models. Once the minimum length requirement is met, the PVI-SLPB may be installed at any location within the vent run conguration.

2. A minimum of 18 inches is required between the PVISLP-B and the termination cap to allow room for the pipe to go through a wall or roof.

3. If PVI-SLP-B is installed in the vertical position, a minimum of two 90 degree elbows and two feet of pipe is required between the appliance and the PVI-SLP-B.

4. Total allowable length decreases by 2 ft. for every 1 ft. of vertical drop.

Note: See Table 2.1 for model specic vent requirements.
