Hearth & Home Technologies • Power Vent Inline (PVI-SLP) Instructions • 2196-900 Rev. AC • 12/15
The PVI-SLP operates on 120VAC, 60Hz electrical service
which is supplied at the fi replace junction box.
IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTE: When the control
being used to run the fi replace is activated, a 120 second
delay will occur before ignition occurs. This is to allow a
pre-purge by the PVI-SLP. If fi replace does not light after
135 seconds, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this
instruction for further direction. If an RC100, RC200 or
RC300 remote is being used, there will also be a 20 minute
post-purge in which the PVI-SLP will continue to run after
appliance is turned off.

B. Installation of PVI-SLP
1. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
a. This device must be installed by a qualifi 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 offi 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 offi cials hav-
ing 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 powervent
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
powervent service access grill in an area remote of immediate living space will reduce the effects of the added
sound generated during operation.

Hearth & Home Technologies • Power Vent Inline (PVI-SLP) Instructions • 2196-900 Rev. AC • 12/15
2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS. DO NOT
install PVI-SLP with the access panel facing upward.
Overheating may occur.
NOTICE: Installation of the PVI-SLP 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 to freeze.
a. If the PVI-SLP is being installed in a confi 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. See Figure 3.1.
The confi 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 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 fi replace chase.
The decorative cover CANNOT be located on an outside
wall that is open to the environment.
b. For installations near loose-fi 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 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, consult the Power
Vent diagrams in the Vent Information and Diagrams section of the appliance installation manual. The PVI-SLP
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): SLP-TVHW, SLP-LPC,
SLP-TRAP, SLP-HHW2, SLP-HRC-SS, SLP-HRC-ZCSS, SLP-TB1. Check installation manual for termination
caps specifi 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.
B. Vent/Pipe Regulations
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Maintain minimum pipe length between appliance and
PVI-SLP on all models. Combustible materials surrounding
pipe may overheat.
1. A minimum length of venting is required between the
appliance and the PVI-SLP. This minimum length requirement varies for the specifi c appliance. Refer to
Table 2.1. for requirements for specifi c models. Once
the minimum length requirement is met, the PVI-SLP
may be installed at any location within the vent run
confi guration.
2. A minimum of 18 inches is required between the PVISLP and the termination cap to allow room for the pipe
to go through a wall or roof.
3. If PVI-SLP 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.
4. Total allowable length decreases by 2 ft. for every 1 ft.
of vertical drop.
Note: See Table 2.1 for model specifi c vent requirements.
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 300ºF continuous exposure
rating), including the slip section that connects directly to
the horizontal termination cap.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer
pipe joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 2.1.
• Only outer pipes need to be sealed. All unit collar, pipe,
slip section, elbow and cap outer fl ues shall be sealed
in this manner, unless otherwise stated.

Operating Instructions
A. Installation Inspection
1. Follow safety inspection procedures recommended by
national, provincial, and/or local codes.
2. Be certain all electrical connections are properly made
and secure.
3. Visually inspect the vent system and determine that
there is no fl ue gas spillage, blockage or restriction,
leakage, corrosion or other unsafe defi ciencies.
4. Place the fi replace in operation and determine that the
burner and power vent are operating properly. The
main burner should show no signs of fl oating, lifting, or
fl ashbacks.
ZIP TIE
B. Vacuum Switch Orientation
The vacuum switch must be installed on a vertical plane
for proper function. If the PVI-SLP is mounted in a vertical
position, the vacuum switch needs to be moved from its
place in Figure 5.1 to the location shown in Figure 5.2. To
do this, loosen and remove the two nuts securing it to the
inside wall of the PVI-SLP. Move and secure the vacuum
switch onto the adjacent wall using the two bolts that are
sticking out of the surface. Be sure that the tube running
from the vacuum switch to the motor is not pinched closed.
ZIP TIE
Figure 5.1 Switch Position for Horizontal Installation
CAUTION! Risk of electrical shock! DO NOT allow
120VAC wires to contact hot metal surfaces. Use supplied wire ties to bundle wires away from fl ue pipe, fan
housing and other metal surfaces.
Figure 5.2 Switch Position for Vertical Installation
C. Setting the PVI-SLP Baffl e Adjustment
The PVI-SLP has a baffl e adjustment which must be set
during the Installation Inspection. This baffl e adjustment
is located alongside the motor. See Figure 5.3.
The baffl e adjustment is measured using the holes on the
indicator bar of the PVI-SLP baffl e. See Figure 5.4. This
bar raises as the baffl e is opened and lowers as the baffl e
is closed. When only one hole is showing, the baffl e is
closed. When all three holes are visible, the baffl e is all
the way open. DO NOT TRY TO FORCE IT OPEN ANY
FURTHER THAN 1/2 in.
When the power vent is located within ten feet of the appliance, there is no limit to the baffl e adjustment. If the
power vent is located more than 40 feet from the appliance,
the fl ue baffl e must remain closed and cannot be adjusted.
See Table 3 for limitations to the baffl e adjustment.
The need to adjust the baffl e will depend upon vent run
confi guration and burner fl ame characteristics.
Next to the bolt used for baffl e adjustment is an indicator bar.
• If the burner fl ames are short, active, and jumping – turn
the bolt clockwise (open). Check the burner fl ames and
adjust the baffl e again as necessary until the fl ames are
stable, strong, and steady.
• If the burner fl ames are tall, lifting, fl oating, and ghost-
like, the baffl e is too open and MUST be closed (turn bolt
counter-clockwise).
• If the pilot continously sparks and does not become
steady, the baffle may need to be opened. The
requirements in table 3 must still be met.
PRIMO MODELS ONLY:
22
CAUTION! Risk of overheating! The baffl e must re-
main fully closed when using the PVI-SLP with the PRIMO models. See PRIMO Installation Manual for details
and PRIMO48/PRIMO48ST exception.

E. Maintenance
WARNING! Risk of Shock! Before performing any maintenance or repair to the power vent assembly, make sure
electrical power is disconnected to the fi replace.
1. Vent System: Inspect all components and connections
annually. Replace, seal, or tighten pipe connections if
necessary.
2. Access Panel: Inspect at least annually. Ensure mesh
is free of dust and debris.
3. Motor: The fan motor bearings are sealed and no further
lubrication is necessary. To access the motor, vacuum
switch or pressure sense tube, refer to Figure 5.5.
If the motor needs to be removed, take out the three screws
that attach the collar to the wall and the fi ve nuts holding
the motor down as shown in Figure 5.6.

D. Operating Instructions
After installation of the power vent, follow the operation
instructions of the fi replace.
1. Turn the fi replace ON/OFF switch to "ON".
Note: During periods of operation after turning the
fi replace "ON", there will be a delay before the fi replace
ignites. This is due to the time necessary for the fan to
reach operating speed and to remove any gases from the
combustion chamber.
2. After turning the switch to the "ON" position, if the fi re-
place does not turn on, shut the switch to "OFF" and
inspect the power vent system for any debris that may
be obstructing the fan blade movement.
3. Turn the fi replace ON/OFF switch to "OFF" to turn off
the burner and the power vent.
