Power Venter installation must be in accordance with the following requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code: (ANSI Z223.1)

• All portions of the vent system under positive pressure during operation (on the outlet side of the Power Venter) shall be designed
and installed so as to prevent leakage of flue or vent gases into a building.

• All appliances must enter the vent system on the inlet side of the Power Venter.

• Provision shall be made to interlock the appliance(s) to prevent the flow of gas to the main burners when the draft system is not
performing so as to satisfy the operating requirements of the equipment for safe performance.

INSTALLATION RESTRICTIONS

1. Power Venter should be installed as close to the termination of the vent system as possible to prevent flue gas leakage.

2. Power Venter must be installed with the motor shaft horizontal to prevent motor bearing wear.

3. Power Venter housing is single wall. Six inch clearance must be maintained to combustible materials.

4. If installing the VP-2, 3” vent pipe may be used from the water heater to the Power Venter. If the flue outlet is larger
than 3”, install a tapered reducer directly after the draft hood of the water heater.

If installing the VP-3, 4” vent pipe may be used from the water heater to the Power Venter. If the flue outlet is larger
than 4”, install a tapered reducer directly after the draft hood of the water heater.

NOTE: All reducers and vent pipe are to be supplied by the installer and are available from your local heating wholesaler.

2. Connect outlet of Power Venter to inner sleeve of vent hood. Sections of vent pipe are
permitted between Power Vent and Vent Hood but all connections after the Power Venter will
be under a positive pressure during operation. These connections must be sealed with high
temperature silicone sealant or aluminum vent pipe tape supplied by installer.

3. Using the holes as a guide, attach vent pipe to inlet collar using sheet metal screws. Install
properly sized vent pipe sections from Power Venter inlet to appliance outlet avoiding elbows
wherever possible and using only tapered transitions.

4. Support vent pipe in accordance with vent manufacturer’s instructions.

ELECTRICAL

Route the 25’ control cable supplied with the Power Venter back to the water heater controls along the ceiling joists, taking care not to
come closer than 6” to the vent pipe or any other potentially hot surface. In most cases, the gas supply line may be used as a routing
path from the ceiling to the water heater controls, the supplied nylon straps may be used to secure the cable.

NOTE: If the distance between the Power Venter and the heater controls is greater than the length of the cable, splice a section of 3
conductor PVC sheathed, 105 degree C thermostat cable to the supplied cable. Make sure the color coded leads remain consistent.
An NEC approved accessible junction box must be used to contain the splice. Splices shall be made mechanically secure and insulat ­ed with tape or fixture type splicing connectors may be employed. Strain relief hardware contained within the NEC approved junction
box shall be utilized.

The Power Venter operates on 110/115 VAC, therefore a grounded outlet must be within reach of the six foot power cord supplied with
Power Venter. The flexible power cord supplied with the unit may only be used where local codes permit. If local codes do not permit
the use of flexible power cord, follow steps below.

1. Remove the electrical box cover, flexible cord and strain relief from the enclosure.
