5 Vent Information

A. Venting Components

In order to comply with applicable codes and product warranties, use only following venting components:

•Hearth & Home Technologies (HHT)

•Security Chimney's Secure Vent Chimney System

•Selkirk Metalbestos

•AmeriVent

•Simpson Dura-Vent (SDV)

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.

•A round support box/wall thimble or heat shield is required when the venting passes through a combustible wall.

•A support box or ceiling firestop is required when the venting passes through a ceiling.

•Roof flashing and a storm collar are required when venting passes through the roof.

•Follow instructions provided with the venting for installation of these items.

B. Use of Elbows

CAUTION

ALL vent configuration specifications MUST be followed.

•This product is tested and listed to these specifications.

•Appliance performance will suffer if specifications 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.)

WARNING

Fire Hazard. Explosion Risk. Asphyxiation Risk.

Do NOT connect this gas appliance to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel or gas burning appliance.

•Vent this appliance directly outside.

•Use separate vent system for this appliance.

May impair safe operation of this appliance or other appliances connected to the flue.

C. Measuring Standards

Vertical and horizontal measurements were made using the following standards.

•Pipe measurements are from center line to center line.

•Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside of the mounting surface (flange of termination cap). See

Figure 4.1 on page 8.

•Vertical terminations are measured to the top of the last pipe before termination cap.

•Horizontal pipe installed level with 1/4 in. rise.

D. How to Use the Vent Graph

E. Venting Guidelines

1.Measure the distance from the top of appliance 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 top of the appliance to the center of the 90° elbow is 7 ft. (2m), the horizontal run to the base of the temination cap must not exceed 13 ft.- 2 in. (4m).

Example 2: If the vertical dimension from the top of the appliance is 21 ft. (6m), the horizontal run to the base of the termination cap must not exceed 7 ft.- 3in. (2m).

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 vent pipe run. A single vertical to horizontal 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).

The minimum horizontal vent run is 11 in. (279mm).

Minimum wall thickness is 4 in. (102mm). Maximum wall thickness is 20 in. (508mm).

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. (101mm).

Horizontal sections require noncombustible support every 3 ft. (914mm), e.g. plumbing tape.

EXCEPTION FOR REAR VENT KIT (Snorkel Kit

#844-8921), HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION:

When installing the Sapphire in a rear vent configuration with no vertical rise: a snorkel kit must be used, and a derating orifice must be installed. The appropriate orifice is supplied with the rear vent kit.

For any vertical rise when rear venting, a minimum of 2 ft. (610mm) vertical must be used prior to any horizontal run.

The maximum horizontal vent run is 2 ft. (610mm).

The maximum horizontal vent run with a 45° elbow is 14 in. (356mm).

No external minimum rise is required. The minimum horizontal vent run is 11 in. (279mm).

NOTE: IF YOUR INSTALLATION FALLS WITHIN A SHADED AREA ON THE GRAPH, THE DAMPER MUST BE USED.

NOTE: 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 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.

WARNING

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 specified 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.

When installing the Sapphire in a rear vent configuration with no vertical rise: a Snorkel Kit must be used, and a derating orifice must be installed. The appropriate orifice is supplied with the Rear Vent Kit.

Figure 5.5

NOTE:

(1)Installation requires a minimum of 11 in. (279mm) horizontal run. Each 1 ft. (305mm) of horizontal vent run must include a 1/4 in. (6mm) of vertical rise towards the termination. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a house or structure fire.

(2)The location of the horizontal vent termination on an exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must not be easily blocked or obstructed, see Figure 4.4 on page 9.

(3)For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the building, the HHT RHVK snorkel kit (Part #8448921) 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 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).

NOTES:

(1)The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.

(2)Termination cap HHW2 (Part #841-0670) is highly recommended on a building with vinyl siding, as the vinyl siding standoff is built in. The pilot hole will be 2 in. (51mm) closer to the bottom of the square than the top. Using a framing square, draw a 14 in. x 14 in. (356mm x 356mm) square around the pilot hole in the siding. See Figure 5.7 on the next page.

(NOTE: If you are installing termination cap HHW2, the pipe will be off center on flashing). Ensure that proper clearances to combustible materials are maintained. If you are using an approved termination cap other than HHW2 (part #841-0670) on a building with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding standoff should be installed between the termination cap and the exterior wall (Figure 5.8). Follow manufacturer’s instructions for attaching the vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal termination cap. The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding material. The vent terminal cap shall not be recessed into a wall or siding. Remove siding from the area where the standoff will be located.

Impaired Performance of Appliance.

•Ensure vent components are locked together correctly.

•Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

WARNING

Do NOT connect a pipe section to a termination cap without using the telescoping flue section found on the termination cap.

WARNING

Burn Risk.

•Local codes may require installation of a cap shield to prevent anything or anyone from touching the hot cap.

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 16, Figure 5.15. Check the instructions 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.

NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 35 ft. (11m)

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).

WARNING

Fire Risk. Explosion Risk.

Maintain vent clearance to combustibles as specified.

•Do not pack air space with insulation or other materials.

Failure to keep insulation or other materials away from vent pipe may cause fire.

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 to avoid cutting loadbearing members. When location is determined, drill small hole.

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 necessary to reach from the ceiling support box/wall thimble up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roofline. The galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline, due to its higher corrosion resistance.

NOTE:

(1) 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, page 15.

(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.

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.

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.
