High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are certified without deration for elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA, installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local authorities having jurisdiction for installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).
WARNING: Improper installation, adjust­ment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. Refer to this manual for correct installation and operational procedures. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier.
Venting Requirements and Options
The Radiance must be properly connected to a listed 4” (102mm) Type B venting system or to an approved Class A masonry or factory-built chimney system. In Canada, a complete relining of Class A chimney systems is required.
The Radiance Natural Vent stove will accept decorative 6” (150mm) stove pipe around the Type B venting system, for aesthetic purposes.
Complete Type B vent systems are available from a number of manufacturers, and your dealer can usually supply one. Pipe sections from different makers are not interchangeable; do not mix pipe or vent sections from different makers. Follow the vent system manufacturer’s instructions exactly.
Decorative stove chimneys for B vent applications are available through vent dealers.
The vent system should conform to specifications of the National Fuel Gas Code, latest edition.
If connecting to a Class A chimney system, use 4” (102mm) single wall or 4” Type B vent connector. Single wall vent connector requires a minimum 6” (153mm) clearance to combustible surfaces.
Exterior chimneys may be subject to flow reversal or condensation. To lessen these conditions, enclose Type B vents in an insulated chase, or reline exterior Class A chimneys.
An approved pass-through device is always required, whether the vent system passes through a wall or a ceiling. Use a pass-through device from the same maker who supplies the venting system.
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.
Vent Layout and Height Requirements
Venting for a Radiance can rise vertically through the home, or can pass through an exterior wall and rise along the outside of the home. Some codes require that a Type B vent system rising on the outside of the home be enclosed in a chase. Check your local codes for requirements.
The minimum vent system height for the Radiance Natural Vent Stove is 8 feet (2.43m), (Fig. 7) measured from the top of the stove. To determine the minimum height the vent system must extend through or past the roof, refer to the 1993 edition of the National Fuel Gas Code.

Passing Through a
Combustible Wall or Ceiling
An approved pass-through device is always required when a vent passes through a combustible wall or ceiling. Check with the maker of the vent system for the correct listed devices that are available. A listed pass-through device is required whether or not the installation includes decorative pipe around the Type B venting system. NOTE: It is essential to seal between the ceiling support (sometimes called a ‘firestop spacer’) and the decorative pipe, if installed, with a high-temperature silicone sealant. (Fig. 6)
