CLEARANCES

The following clearances to combustibles must be maintained:

Minimum clearances to the floor - 0"

Back of unit to wall - 6”

Sides of unit to wall - 6

Base of the unit to ceiling - 72".

Minimum clearances to Venting are as follows:

Horizontal runs require a 1-1/2” minimum Air Space on the top and an 1/2” minimum Air Space on the sides and bottom of the outer Vent Section. If an Elbow is being used,in an enclosed wall, floor or ceiling, a top Air Space clearance of 3” must be maintained. Vertical rise sections require a 1” minimum Air Space completely around the Vent section. These clearances must be maintained at all times.

This appliance is certified for installation in a bed/sitting room in the U.S. and Canada.

Mobile Home Installations. Appliances installed in Mobile Homes must be secured to the floor in a minimum of two locations.

Positioning the Appliance.

A. Horizontal Termination

DV400S DIRECT VENT ROOM HEATER

Refer to Chart A and Figure 2 for horizontal venting recommendations. The minimum vertical rise allowed for horizontal termination is 2" from the top of the

Note: Horizontal runs will require the use of one vent support for every 3' of vent.

heater. The maximum horizontal run allowed for venting is 15' with a minimum 4' rise.

A single vertical to horizontal elbow is already calculated into the allowable 15' run. Each additional elbow reduces the maximum horizontal distance by 3' feet.

Example: When using three elbows, the maximum horizontal distance has been reduced to 9' (3 - 1 = 2 elbows x 3' = 6'; 15' max. - 6' of elbows = 9' of horizontal run.) Even with only these three elbows ( the equivalent of 6' additional horizontal feet) you now need a minimum of 4' of vertical rise. See Chart A.

If a vertical - to - horizontal elbow is enclosed within a wall, floor or ceiling, an air space clearance of 3" must be maintained.

Due to the many different combinations that can be used when constructing venting, the number of vent sections required can only be determined by the installer.

Horizontal venting must terminate within the shaded area shown in Fig. 2. Chart

CHART A - Venting Combinations

Note: A horizontal run of vent must have a 1/4" rise for every 1 ft. of run towards the termination. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and the possibility of a fire.

A illustrates the figures included in that shaded area. For example, if your vertical rise is the minimum two feet, venting can terminate anywhere between 20 - 1/2" (includes wall thickness and assumes 4", and venting required to termination cap) and 10' feet.

Venting termination must not be recessed into the wall or siding. Fig 3 on Page 9 illustrates termination cap location and minimum dimensions for each termination application. Or follow ANSI Z223.1, latest edition.
