is operating.
The vent termination should be located where it cannot be
damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn mowers
or snowblowers and it should be located away from areas
where it could become blocked by snow, etc.
Some considerations are:
• Obstructions or impediments to venting.
• Nearby combustible materials that could come into
contact with combustion exhaust gases.
• Other nearby openings {within 12" (305 mm)} through
which exhaust gas could reenter the building.
• All vegetation within 3’ (76 mm) that may interfere with
the draft.
Other factors that inuence where the installation will be
sited include the location of outside walls, where additional
heat may be desired in the home, where the family members gather most regularly, and perhaps most importantly,
the distance limitations of the venting system.
Your stove is approved to be vented either through the side
wall, or vertical through the roof.
• Vermont Castings Group does not require any open-
ing for inspection of vent pipe.
• Only Vermont Castings Group, DuraVent and Selkirk
Corporation venting components specically approved and
labelled for this stove may be used.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipes and combus-
tible materials is one (1") inch (25 mm), except where stated
otherwise.
• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.
• Horizontal venting must be installed on a level plane without
an inclining or declining slope.
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden
sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within 24" from the
front of the termination hood.
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or ice
build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area
after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental blockage
of venting system. When using snow blowers, make sure
snow is not directed towards vent termination area.
Location of Vent Termination
It is imperative the vent termination be located observing
the minimum clearances as shown on this page.
IMPORTANT
• The horizontal termination must not be recessed
into the exterior wall or siding.
• Horizontal vent runs must be level toward the vent
termination.
• Clearances around the vent termination must be
maintained.
• For installations using DuraVent pipe, parallel
installations with minimum wall clearance have
restricted access for connecting the Horizontal
Vent Cap straps to the vent pipe. See the maker’s
instructions for recommended installation procedures.

WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounded) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not
cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Install the Optional Fan - RADVT Series
If you are installing the optional convection Fan Kit #2767
(FK26), continue here. It is easiest to install fan kit before
connecting gas line. If you are not installing a Fan Kit, go
to Page 17, Venting System Assembly.
1. The fan kit includes a Blower Assembly and a Rheostat
Assembly, connected by a cable. (Fig. 15) The Blower
Assembly mounts to the bottom rear of the stove, and
the Rheostat mounts to the valve coverplate. The assembly includes a ‘snapstat’ which automatically turns
the fan On (or Off) above (or below) approximately 109°.
The Rheostat also provides a range of fan speed settings from Off (which overrides the snapstat function) to
High. Unpack and inspect the Blower assembly. Conrm
that the fan spins freely.
