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.

B. Use of Elbows

CAUTION

ALL vent conﬁ guration speciﬁ cations MUST be followed.

• This product is tested and listed to these speciﬁ cations.

• Appliance performance will suffer if speciﬁ cations 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.)

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 ﬂ ue vent to the center of the 90° elbow is 7 ft. (2m), the horizontal run to the outer wall ﬂ ange must not exceed 9 ft.-8 in. (3m).

EXAMPLE 2: If the vertical dimension from the center line of the ﬂ ue vent is 21 ft. (6m), the horizontal run to the outer wall ﬂ ange must not exceed 4 ft.-3 in. (1m).

4. Each 90° elbow is equivalent to 3 ft. (914mm) of vent pipe and each 45° elbow is equivalent to 1 ft. (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 15 ft. (5m) 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.; 15 ft. max. - 6 ft. = 9 ft. max.).

NOTES

The maximum horizontal vent run is 15 ft. (5m) when the vertical vent rise is 10 ft. (3m).

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 in. (152mm) vertical must be used.

EXCEPTIONS

FOR HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS:

The maximum horizontal vent run is 30 in. (762mm).

The maximum horizontal vent run with a 45° elbow is 18 in. (457mm).

No external minimum rise is required.

The minimum horizontal vent run is 6 in. (152mm).

NOTE: If your installation falls within the gray-shaded area on graph, see information on intake damper operation, on page 36.

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

Step 1.

Determine the desired location of the appliance. Check to ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the appliance.

WARNING

Fire Hazard. Exhaust Fume Risk. Impaired Performance of Appliance.

• Ensure vent components are locked together correctly.

• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Step 1.

Step 2.

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.

Fire Risk. Explosion Risk. Combustion Fume Risk. Use vent run supports per installation instructions. Connect vent sections per installation instructions.

• Maintain all clearances to combustibles.

• Do NOT allow vent to sag below connection point to appliance.

• Maintain speciﬁ ed slope (if required).

Improper support may allow vent to sag or separate.

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.

(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 vent 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 vent cap and the exterior wall (Figure 5.8). Attach the vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal vent termination. The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding material. Vent terminal shall not be recessed into a wall or siding. Remove siding from the area where the standoff will be located.

Step 5.

Place the wall thimble cover over the pipe assembly and slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall, carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent termination cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extend into the vent termination cap a sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 in. (32mm). Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent termination cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent termination cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section (Figure 5.9).

Step 1.

Check the installation instructions for required 1 in. (25mm) clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or other nearby combustible surfaces. See page 17, Figure

5.16. Check the instructions below for maximum vertical rise of the venting system, and any maximum horizontal offset limitations. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of the vent graph (Figure 5.2) located on page 11.

25 ft. (8m) MAXIMUM

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, on the next page, to avoid cutting loadbearing members. When location is determined, drill small hole.

NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 25 ft. (8m) 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).

NOTE:

) 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.

(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).

Shingles overlap on top edge of flashing

Step 4.

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

Page 16

Quadra-Fire · Garnet-T · 7016-127F

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.

August 1, 2008

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.

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Risk.

• Any occupied areas above the first floor, including closets and storage spaces, which the vertical vent passed through must be enclosed. The enclosure may be framed and sheetrocked with standard construction materials; however, refer to these installation instructions for the minimum allowable clearance between the outside of the vent pipe and the combustible surfaces of the enclosure. Do not fill any of the required air space with insulation.

Note: For multi-story vertical installations, a ceiling firestop is required at the second floor, and any subsequent floors (Figure 5.16). The opening should be framed to 10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) inside dimensions, in the same manner as shown in Figure 5.13.
