LOCATION

In selecting the location, the aesthetic and functional use of the appliance are primary concerns. However, vent system routing to the exterior and access to the fuel supply are also important. Consideration should be given to traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc., due to elevated surface temperatures (

The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or other heating/air conditioning ducting. These direct vent appliances are uniquely suited for installations requiring a utility shelf positioned directly above the fireplace. Utility shelves like these are commonly used for locating television sets and decorative plants.

Step 3. INSTALL THE VENT SYSTEM

General Information

These fireplaces are designed, tested and listed for operation and installation with, and only with, Secure Vent™ Direct Vent System Components, Secure Flex™ Flexible Vent Components manufactured by Security Chimneys International and Z-FLEX™ Model GA Venting Systems listed to UL1777 and ULCS635 manufactured by Flexmaster Canada Limited. These approved vent system components are labeled for identification. DO NOT use any other manufacturer's vent components with these appliances.

These fireplaces must be vented directly to the outside.

Determine the venting for the appliance. If the vent run will include at least 8 feet of vertical rise, then install the second restrictor in the appliance collar before connecting any vent (Refer to tor inside the fixed restrictor.

Note: The second restrictor is included within the firebox.

Figure 12

Exhaust Vent

). Place the second restric-

Fixed Restrictor

The vent system may not service multiple appliances, and must never be connected to a flue serving a solid fuel burning appliance. The vent pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosing wall (such as a chase). There is no requirement for inspection openings in the enclosing wall at any of the joints in the vent pipe.

Select Venting System - Horizontal or Vertical

With the appliance secured in framing, determine vent routing and identify the exterior termination location. The following sections describe vertical (roof) and horizontal (exterior wall) vent applications. Refer to the section relating to your installation. A list of approved

venting components is shown in the tables on page 26.

VERTICAL TERMINATION SYSTEMS (ROOF)

Figures 13, 17 and 23 through 25 on pages 12, 14 and 15

and their associated Vertical Vent Tables illustrate the various vertical venting configurations that are possible for use with these appliances. Secure Vent pipe applications are shown in these figures; Secure Flex pipe may also be used.

A Vertical Vent Table summarizes each system’s minimum and maximum vertical and horizontal length values that can be used to design and install the vent components in a variety of applications.

Both these vertical vent systems terminate through the roof. The minimum vent height above the roof and/or adjacent walls is specified in ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition) (In Canada, the current CAN-1 B149 installation code) by major building codes. Always consult your local codes for specific requirements. A general guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer to

Figure 4

on page 6 ).

Vertical (Offset) Installation

Analyze the vent routing and determine the quantities of vent sections and number of elbows required. Refer to Vertical Vent Fig- ures and Tables on page 14 and 15 to select the type of vertical installation desired. Vent sections are available in net lengths of 4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267 mm), 22-1/2" (572 mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 46-1/2" (1181 mm). Refer to the Vent Section Length Chart on page 11 for an aid in selecting length combinations. Elbows are available in 90° and 45° configurations. Refer to SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional specifications.
