3. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The equipment must be installed in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes with the

latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
The equipment shall be installed in accordance with those installation regulations in force in the local area where

the installation is to be made. These shall be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction shall
be consulted before installations are made.

MOUNTING POWER VENT ASSEMBLY

Follow these instructions if the PowerV ent venting system was purchased as an option
assembly kit.

1. Remove existing pagoda top (outdoor units) or drafthood (indoor units). To remove the
pagoda top, push the four brackets inward and pull up the pagoda top. The pagoda may
then be discarded.

2. Unscrew the four screws holding the outer top using a phillips screw driver. Remove the
jacket top.

3. Replace the inner stack adapter. If the heater had a drafthood installed previously, re­move the inner stack adapter and replace it with the PowerV ent stack adapter . Otherwise,
install the PowerVent stack adapter.

4. Unscrew the access panel on the right side of the appliance. Set aside the screws with
the access panel.

5. Remove the knurled screw holding the front door and set it aside with the door.

6. Mount the jacket top above the unit. Note: Do not install at this point.

7. Mount the Power Vent on the outer top.

8. Route the conduit harness of the PowerVent thru the outer top hole, around the adapter
towards the back of the unit. Continue routing the harness thru the corner slot, which
leads to open area behind the access panel. Finally, route only the wire harness thru the
7/8” grommet hole located on the sway brace. Follow instructions on page 7 to wire the
PowerVent. Note: Newer units have a 7/8” grommet located on the rain shield, which
would eliminate routing the harness around the back corner.

9. Re-mount the jacket top to its original position and screw in the four screws holding it
down to the appliance.

10. If the appliance is a 181, 182, 330 or 331, remove the tabs underneath the power vent
using a 5/16” nut driver and relocate the closer to the center of the Power Vent.

MOUNTING POWER VENT ASSEMBLY-(continued

11.Mount the PowerVent assembly bottom on the 6” vent. Twist the assembly downward.
Snap the mounting brackets into their appropriate slot to hold the Power Vent in position.
Note: While twisting you may notice some roughness, this is due to a tight seal between
the 6” vent and the Power Vent flue box.

12.Re-mount the access panel.

13.Re-mount the front door along with the knurled screw on the heater.

** NOTE: The 90° elbow may be used as a termination cap.

WIRING A POWERVENT ASSEMBLY TO AN APPLIANCE WITH IID IGNITION.

WARNING: Disconnect all electrical power to the unit before servicing to avoid potential shock

injury or damage to the unit. To change voltages, follow wiring diagram for correct voltage
connections. Improper wiring connections can burnout the relay and blower motor.

VENTING

The vent pipe must be the same size or larger than what is indicated. The D-2 Power V ent are
capable of 360-degree discharge rotation and operate with a positive vent static pressure and
with a vent gas temperature less than 400°F. The total length of horizontal run shall not
exceed an equivalent of 40 feet including termination cap. For all cases, each 90-degree
elbow reduces the maximum horizontal vent run by 10 feet and each 45-degree elbow in the
vent run reduces the maximum vent run by 5 feet. See the table for maximum vent lengths
using 90-degree and 45-degree elbows. The D-2 Power V ent uses positive pressure to push
flue gases through the vent pipe to the outside. The vent must be installed to prevent the flue
gas leakage. Care must be taken during assembly to insure that all joints are sealed properly
and are airtight.

The vent must be installed to prevent the potential accumulation of condensate in the vent
pipes. It is recommened that:

a) The vent be inst alled with a slight downward slope of not more than 1/4” per foot of

horizontal run to the vent terminal.

b) The vent be insulated through the length of horizontal run.

For appliances installed in extreme cold climate, it is recommended that:

a) The vent be installed with a slight upward slope of not more than 1/4” per foot of

horizontal run to the vent terminal. In this case, an approved condensate trap must
be installed per applicable codes.

b) The vent be insulated through the length of the horizontal run.
