INSTALLER

Please leave these instructions with the appliance.

OWNER

Please retain these instructions for future reference

• Read this owner’s manual carefully and completely before trying to assemble, operate,

or service this replace.

• Any change to this replace or its controls can be dangerous.

• Improper installation or use of this replace can cause serious injury or death from

WARNING

re, burns, explosions, electrical shock and carbon monoxide poisoning.

This replace is a vented product. This replace must be properly installed by a qualied service person. The glass

door must be properly seated and sealed. If this unit is not

properly installed by a qualied service person with glass

door properly seated and sealed, combustion leakage can occur.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Early signs of carbon

monoxide poisoning are similar to the u with headaches, dizziness and/or nausea. If you have these signs, the re-

place may not have been installed properly. Get fresh air

at once! Have the replace inspected and serviced by a qualied service person. Some people are more affected

by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia,

those under the inuence of alcohol, and those at high

altitudes.

Propane/LP gas and natural gas are both odorless. An odor-making agent is added to each of these gases. The odor helps you detect a gas leak. However, the odor added to these gases can fade. Gas may be present even though no odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep

this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper

operation of this replace.

1. This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not

convertible for use with other gases unless a certied

IMPORTANT:

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING

CAREFULLY

It is normal for replaces fabricated of steel

to give off some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.

IMPORTANT:

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING

CAREFULLY

It is not unusual for gas replace to give off some odor the rst time it is burned. This is due

to the manufacturing process.

Please ensure that your room is well

ventilated during burn off — open all

windows.

It is recommended that you burn your replace for at least ten (10) hours the rst time you use

it. Place the fan switch in the “OFF” position during this time.

right or left side of the rebox (as you are facing it) and

your electricity will come in on the right side.

The rebox may be installed directly on a combustible oor

or raised on a platform of an appropriate height. When

the rebox is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material, other than wood ooring, the rebox

shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the enclosure.

FIREPLACE LOCATION

Plan for the installation of your appliance. This includes determining where the unit is to be installed, the vent

conguration to be used, framing and nishing details,

and whether any optional accessories (i.e. blower, wall switch, or remote control) are desired. Consult your local building code agency to ensure compliance with local codes, including permits and inspections.

The following factors should be taken into consideration:

• Clearance to side-wall, ceiling, woodwork, and windows.

Minimum clearances to combustibles must be main-

tained.

• This replace may be installed along a wall, across a

corner, or use an exterior chase. See Figure 3 for suggested locations.

• Location should be out of high trafc areas and away

from furniture and draperies due to heat from appliance.

• Never obstruct the front opening of the replace.

• Do not install in the vicinity where gasoline or other

ammable liquids may be stored.

• Vent pipe routing. See Venting section found in this

manual for allowable venting congurations.

• These units can be installed in a bedroom. Refer to

the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54

— (current edition), the Uniform Mechanical Code — (current edition), and Local Building Codes for specic

installation requirements.

• These units can be installed in a bathroom.

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION

If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks around your appliance, and wherever cold air could enter the room, with noncombustible

material. It is especially important to insulate

NOTE

the outside chase cavity between the studs and under the oor on which the appliance rests, if the oor is above ground level.

system could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Consult local building codes before beginning the installation. The installer must make sure to select the proper vent system for installation. The approved 5 x 8 venting components are Duravent and Selkirk products

listed on Page 49. UL1777 flexible venting is also

approved for use on these models. Before installing vent

kit, the installer must read this replace manual and vent

kit instructions.

Only a qualied installer/service person should install venting system. The installer must follow these safety rules:

• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.

• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when

on rooftops.

• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and

ceilings.

The following actions will void the warranty on your venting system:

• Installation of any damaged venting component.

• Unauthorized modication of the venting system.

• Installation of any component part not manufactured

or approved by Vermont Castings Group.

• Installation other than permitted by these instruc-

tions.

Horizontal sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" (76 mm)clearances to combustibles at the top of the ue and 1" (25 mm) clearance at the sides and bottom

until the ue penetrates the outside wall. A

minimum 1" clearance all around the ue is acceptable at this point of penetration.

WARNING

Unless the vertical run is 71⁄2' (2.3 m) or higher from oor of replace, the clearance for horizontal run is 1" on all sides.

Page 11

For models purchased after 4/16/15, please see addendum.

VENT INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION PLANNING

There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:

• Horizontal Termination

• Vertical Termination

It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the wall thickness.

FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION

Select the amount of vertical rise desired. All horizontal run

of venting must have 1⁄4" rise for every 12" of run towards the termination below 71⁄2 feet of vertical rise from the oor

of the replace. With 71⁄2 feet or more vertical rise from the oor of the replace, the horizontal run may run level.

NEVER run vent piping down.

You may use up to three 90° elbows in this vent conguration. Refer to Vertical/Horizontal Termination Congurations

on Page 15.

Horizontal venting which incorporates the twist lock pipe

must be installed on a level plane without an inclining or declining slope.

FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION

Measure the distance from the replace oor to the ceiling. Add the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic

or second story, and allow for sufcient vent height above

the roof line.

NOTE: You may use two 45° elbows in place of a 90° elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when using 45° elbows. The appliance is approved for use with three 90° elbows maximum or a combination of 90° and 45° elbows up to a maximum of 270°.

WDV Series Gas Fireplace

Never run the vent pipe level down. This

may cause excessive temperatures which

could cause a re.

WARNING

For two-story applications, restops are required at each oor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe

and elbows will be required.

You may use a chase with a vent termination with exposed pipe on the exterior of the house.

Refer to Installing A Vent System in an Outside Chase below. If pipe is enclosed in chase, it is not exposed.

It is very important that the venting system maintain its bal-

ance between the combustion air intake and the ue gas exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent congurations

and must be strictly followed.

INSTALLING A VENT SYSTEM IN AN OUTSIDE CHASE

A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose venting that runs along the outside of a building. A chase is required for such venting.

Always maintain minimum clearances around

vent systems. The minimum clearances to

combustibles for horizontal and vertical vent pipe are 1" at the top, sides and bottom of the vent system. Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This could

WARNING

cause high temperatures and may present a re hazard.

When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you would the outside

walls of your home. This is especially

important in cold climates. Insulation should be considered a combustible

NOTICE

material. Maintain proper clearances to all

combustible materials.

Treatment of restops and construction of the chase may vary from building type to building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local

NOTICE

building codes. You must follow all local building codes.

HOW TO USE THE VENT GRAPH

The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the following vent installation instructions to determine the

relationship between the vertical and horizontal dimensions

of the vent system.

1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent

pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this dimension

on the Sidewall Vent Graph below, locate the point intersecting with the slanted graph line.

2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line

to the bottom of the graph.

3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the re-

place in accordance with same.

Example: If the vertical dimension from the oor of the replace is 11' (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 16' (4.9 m).

NOTE: Sealant is not required to assemble replace venting. Do not use silicone sealant at the inner ue

exhaust connections.

Step 1

Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to rst position the replace and measure to obtain hole location. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or

noncombustible, cut opening to size. Figure 11 (For com- bustible walls rst frame in opening.)

Step 6

Figure 13 Horizontal Length Requirement

FP1182

Use appropriate length of pipe sections - telescopic or xed - and install.

Sealing vent pipe and restop gaps with high temperature sealant will restrict cold air being drawn in around replace.

Step 7

Guide the vent terminations 5” and 8” collard into their respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes overlap the collars by a minimum 11⁄4” (32 mm). Secure the termination to the wall with screws provided and caulk around the wall plate to weatherproof. As an alternative to screwing the termination directly to the wall, you may also use expanding plugs or an approved exterior construction adhesive.

Support horizontal pipes every 36” (914 mm) with metal pipe straps.

VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL TERMINATION

CONFIGURATIONS

Since it is very important that the venting system

maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the ue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent congurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.

The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical

and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the

various dimensions allowable. Figure 10

NOTE: Horizontal and vertical sections of this vent system

require a minimum of 1" clearance to combustibles at the top, sides and bottom.

When vent exits through foundations less than 20" below

outcrop, the termination must be ush up with outcropped

wall above.

It is best to locate the replace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.

The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the ue collar of the replace (or the top of the Transition Elbow) to the face of the nished outside wall.

• The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall

installation is three (3). Figure 14

• A minimum of 12" is required before a 90° elbow. If a 90°

elbow is tted directly after 12" vertical section mounted to the top of the replace, the maximum horizontal vent

run before the termination or a vertical rise is 36” (914 mm). Figure 15

• For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run, the

length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18" (45

BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS

When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7" (178 mm) below grade level. The 7" (178 mm) is measured

from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates

through the wall.

Ensure that sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area.

If installing a snorkel, a minimum 12" vertical rise is neces-

sary. The maximum horizontal run with the 12” vertical pipe

is 36". This measurement is taken from the collar of the

replace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. See the Sidewall Venting Graph for extended horizontal

run if the vertical exceeds 12".

1. Establish vent hole through the wall.

2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16" below base

of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window well (not

supplied). Rell hole with 12" of coarse gravel leaving

a clearance of approximately 4" below snorkel. Figure 18

3. Install vent system.

4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe

coming through the wall.

5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied)

around the 5" and 8" snorkel collars.

6. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to the

wall.

7. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4" clearance below snorkel. Figure 18

INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION

VENTING INSTALLATION

1. Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joist, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset. Refer to Figure 22 to avoid cutting load bearing members.

For optimal ame appearance, a restrictor disk is necessary

on straight vertical runs of 10' of more.

• Runs may not incorporate elbows.

• The disk is part number 56D3027 and is included in

installation manual packet.

• Drop the disk into a 5" inner collar before installing the

rst section of ue or install at the last section before

installing the termination.

• An additional disk may be installed on runs of 35' or more.

Rotate disks perpendicular to each other.

NOTE: Pay special attention to these installation instructions for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also note maximum vertical rise of the venting system and any

maximum horizontal offset limitations. Offsets must fall

within the parameters shown in Figures 21 and 22.

2. Set replace in desired location. Drop a line plumb down from the ceiling to the position of the ue exit. Mark the

center point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small locating hole a this point.

Drop a plumb line from the inside of the roof to the ceiling locating hole in the ceiling. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

FLAT CEILING INSTALLATION

1. Cut a 101⁄2" (241 mm) square hole in the ceiling using the locating hole as a center point The opening should be framed to 101⁄2" x 101⁄2" (241 x 241 mm) inside dimen- sions as shown in Figure 24 using framing lumber the

same size as the ceiling joist. If the area above the ceiling is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail restop from

the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into the required clearance space. Figure 23. Otherwise,

install restop below the framed hole. Figure 24

2. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows nec-

essary to reach from the burner system ue up through the restop. Be sure pipe and elbow connections are

fully twist-locked.

3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole as a center point. (Cover any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole in roof). The 101⁄2"x101⁄2" (241 x 241 mm)

hole must be measured on the horizontal. Actual length

may be larger depending on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1" minimum clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials. (Insulation should be considered a combustible material).

4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole.

NOTE: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet.

Use wall straps for this purpose. Figure 22. Whenever

possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the ow of the ue gases and intake air.

5. Place the ashing over the pipe section(s) extending through the roof. Secure the base of the ashing to the roof and framing with roong nails. Be sure roong material overlaps the top edge of the ashing. There

must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials.

6. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements.

NOTE: You must increase vent height for steep roof

pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing the vent height may solve this problem.

NOTE: If the vent pipe passes through any occupied areas above the rst oor, including storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure to meet the minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not ll any of the required clearance spaces with insulation.

CHECK GAS TYPE

Use proper gas type for the replace you are installing. If you have conicting gas type, do not install replace. See dealer where you purchased the replace for proper replace for your gas type or conversion kit.

INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO FIREPLACE LOCATION

A qualied installer or service person must

connect appliance to gas supply. Follow

all local codes.

WARNING

INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED

Before installing replace and burner system, make sure

you have the items listed below.

• External regulator (supplied by installer)

• Piping (check local codes)

• Equipment shutoff valve*

• Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)

• Test gauge connection*

• Sediment trap (recommended)

• Tee joint

• Pipe wrench

• Approved exible gas line with gas connector (if

allowed by local codes — not provided)

* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve with

1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certied equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent pointing down as shown in Figure 31. Pointing the vent

down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

For propane/LP units, never connect replace directly to the propane/LP supply. This burner system requires an external regulator (not supplied). Install the external regulator between the burner system and

CAUTION

propane/LP supply.

FINAL INSTALLATION

100 gallon (min)

External Regulator

Figure 31 External Regulator with Vent Pointing Down (Propane/LP Only)

Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper or copper tubing can be used per National Fuel Code, Section

2.6.3, providing gas meets hydrogen sulde limits, and where permitted by local codes. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure (listed on data

CAUTION

plate) at the maximum ow rate (BTU/hr). Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe

is too small.

When using copper of ex connectors use only ttings

approved for gas connections. The gas control inlet is 3/8" NPT.

The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.

Always provide a union when using black iron pipe so the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan

servicing. Refer to gas specications for pressure details

and ratings.

The replace valve must not be subjected to any test

pressures exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this and any other gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.

FINAL INSTALLATION

3" Minimum

Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas

connections to this appliance.

WARNING

NOTE: The gas line connection may be made using 1/2"

rigid tubing or an approved ex connector. Since some

municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult your local authorities and the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1, NFPA54. In Canada CSA-B149 (1 or 2) Installation Code.

A listed manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of

the appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure

tapping point should be installed upstream of the appliance.

Figure 32

IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff valve) in an accessible location. The main gas valve is for

turning on or shutting off the gas to the replace.

Check your building codes for any special requirements for

locating equipment shutoff valve to replaces.

Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged burner system valves.

A manual shutoff valve must be installed

upstream of the appliance. Union tee

and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point should be installed upstream of the

CAUTION

appliance. Figure 32

WDV Series Gas Fireplace

We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as shown in Figure 32. Locate sediment trap/ drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner system. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to

freeze. A sediment trap collects moisture and contaminants

and keeps them from going into the burner system gas controls. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system may not run properly.

1. Check gas type. The gas supply must be the same as stated on the appliance’s rating decal. If the gas supply is different from the replace, STOP! Do not install the appliance. Contact your dealer immediately.

2. To ease installation, a 24" (610 mm) ex line with manual

shut-off valve has been provided with this appliance. Install and attach 1/2" gas line onto shut-off valve.

3. After completing gas line connection, purge air from gas line and test all gas joints from the gas meter to the

replace for leaks. Use a solution of 50/50 water and

soap solution or a gas sniffer.

4. To check gas pressures at valve, turn captured screw counter clockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place tubing to pressure gauge over test point. Turn unit to high. Fig- ure 33. After taking pressure reading, be sure and turn

captured screw clockwise rmly to reseal. Do not over

torque. Check test points for gas leaks.

Do not use open ame to check for gas leaks.

WARNING

Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.

CAUTION

All Vermont Castings Group Direct Vent Fireplaces have been tested and approved to ANSI / CSA Standards and will operate safely when installed in accordance with this

instruction manual. Read all instructions before starting

installation, then follow these instructions carefully to

maximize replace performance and safety. Report damaged parts to your dealer.

WARNING

Always maintain minimum clearances around vent

systems. Rear/Top Vent Vertical Side wall: Horizontal

sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" (76 mm) clearances to combustibles at the top of the

ue and 1" (25 mm) clearance at the sides and bottom until the ue penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1" clearance all around the ue is acceptable at this point of penetration. If vertical rise is 71⁄2 feet (2.3 m) or higher

when top venting, the clearance to combustibles is 1" on

all sides of the horizontal run. FOR VERTICAL RUNS ONLY, maintain a 1" (25 mm) minimum clearance to all sides. Do not pack the open air spaces around the replace or ue with insulation or other materials. Any

horizontal run must have a 1/4" rise for every one (1)

foot of run towards the vent termination. Never run the vent level or down.

WARNING

• Any common venting of this gas appliance with other

gas appliances is not allowed.

• Do not connect this appliance to a chimney flue

servicing a separate solid fuel-burning appliance.

WARNING

Failure to follow these instructions may create a possible

re hazard and will void the warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• The termination cap MUST be vented directly to the outside. The termination kit MUST NEVER be connected to a chimney ue(s) servicing a separate solid-fuel burning appliance or any other appliances.

• Termination cap MUST NOT be recessed into a wall. Figure 1

• The exible vent pipe cannot be intermingled with any

of the rigid vent pipe sections. DO NOT connect two (2) sections of exible vent pipe together to achieve a longer length.

• The installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or with the current installation code CSA B149 (in Canada).

• These models are approved to use Hearth & Home Technologies Direct Vent Pipe Components and Ver-

mont Castings Group termination kits. Refer to the replace Homeowner’s Manual for approved venting systems or components.

• Horizontal runs must be supported every 3 feet (914 mm) using wall straps. Vertical runs must be supported every 8 feet (2.4 m) using wall straps. Slip wall straps loosely on to pipe. Attach straps to framing members using nails or screws. Tighten nut/bolt to secure pipe.

• The replace and venting system should be inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualied eld service person. Inspect the external vent cap on a

regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering

with the airow. Inspect entire venting system to ensure proper function.

PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Before You Start

Plan your installation. Set the unit in place and survey how to best vent the unit. Select the appropriate termination kit and vent pipe for the installation. Read these instructions and the replace Homeowner’s Manual before beginning installation. After vent conguration has been decided, begin attaching pipe to unit.

ATTENTION

For use on VCG replaces certied to ANSI Z21.50/CSA

2.22 and ANSI Z21.88/CSA 2.33 standards.

ATTENTION

The vent kits described in this manual are tested as part

of a system certied to CSA/ANSI standards to work with DVP vent lengths certied by UL/ULC and SLP termination vent kits approved by CSA.

ASSEMBLE DVP VENT SECTIONS

WARNING

Risk of Fire/Explosion/Asphyxiation! Improper support

may allow vent to sag and separate. Use vent run

supports and connect vent sections per installation

instructions. DO NOT allow vent to sag below connection point to appliance.

Attach the First Vent Component to Starter Collar

To attach the rst vent component to the starting collar of the appliance:

• Slide the male end of the inner ue over the inner collar of the appliance, at the same time, slide the outer ue over the outer collar of the appliance.

• Push the pipe section into the appliance collar until all

the lances have snapped in place.

• Tug slightly on the section to conrm it has completely locked into place.

Assemble Pipe Sections

Insert the inner ue of section A into the ared inner ue of section B. (See gure 2).

Start the outer ue of section A over the outer ue of section B.

Figure 2 Inner/Outer

Once both inner and outer ues are started, press section A onto section B rmly until all lances have snapped into place. Check to make sure they have snapped

together (see Figure 3) and the seams are not aligned

(see Figure 4). Tug slightly on section A to conrm it has completely locked into place.

It is acceptable to use screws no longer than 1 in. to hold outer pipes together. If predrilling screw holes do NOT penetrate inner pipe.

For 90° and 45° elbows that are changing the vent direction from horizontal to vertical, one screw minimum should be

put in the outer ue at the horizontal elbow joint to prevent the elbow from rotating. Use screws no longer than 1 in. If predrilling screw holes do NOT penetrate inner pipe.

Note: The end of the pipe sections with the lances/ tabs on it will face toward the appliance.

Commercial or High-Rise Applications

For installation into a commercial or high-rise application:

All outer pipe joints must be sealed with high temperature aluminum foil tape, including the slip section that connects

directly to the horizontal termination cap.

• Only outer pipes are to be sealed. Do not seal the

inner ue. All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer ues shall be sealed in this manner, unless otherwise stated.

20307393

Figure 3 Snapped

Make sure the seams are not aligned to prevent unintentional disconnection.

CORRECT INCORRECT

Figure 4 Snapped

WARNING

Risk of Fire/Explosion! DO NOT break seals on slip

sections. Use care when removing termination cap from slip pipe. If slip section seals are broken during removal of the termination cap, vent may leak.

WARNING

Assemble Slip Sections

The outer ue of the slip section should slide over the outer ue of the pipe section and into (inner ue) the last pipe section (see Figure 5) .

Slide together to the desired length, making sure that a

1-1/2 in. outer ue overlap is maintained between the pipe section and slip section.

The pipe and slip section need to be secured by driving two screws through the overlapping portions of the outer

ues using the pilot holes (see Figure 6).

This will secure the slip section to the desired length and

prevent it from separating. The slip section can then be attached to the next pipe section.

If the slip section is too long, the inner and outer ues of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.

Fire Risk Exhaust Fumes Risk

• Overlap pipe slip sections at least 1-1/2 inches.

• Use pilot holes for screws.

• Screws must not exceed 1 in. long.

• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Secure the Vent Sections

Vertical secitons of pipe must be supported every 8 ft. after the 25 ft. maximum unsupported rise. The vent support or plumber’s strap (spaced 120° apart) may be used to do this (see Figure 7).

Horizontal sections of vent must be supported every 5 ft with a vent support or plumber’s strap. (See Figure 8)

WARNING

Risk of Fire/Explosion/Asphyxiation! Improper support

may allow vent to sag and separate. Use vent run

supports and connect vent sections per installation

instructions. DO NOT allow vent to sag below connection point to appliance.

framing. The framing members may need to be reinforced. Position the restop on the hole previously cut and secure with screws or nails (not provided). Run vent pipe through restop. The gap between the vent pipe and restop may be sealed.

3. If the house has vinyl siding, after the termination cap

location has been decided, mark and cut the vinyl siding around the termination cap so that the cap can be

mounted ush to the wall.

4. Attach the DVP ex starter onto the starting collar on the unit. Slide the male end of the inner ue over the

inner collar of the appliance, at the same time, slide

the outer ue over the outer collar of the appliance. Push the ex starter section into the appliance collar until all the lances have snapped in place. Tug slightly on the section to conrm it has completely locked into place. Install three (3) self tapping #10 screws through the DVP ex starter into the starting collar of the appliance.

5. Slide one end of the 5" ex pipe over the inner pipe of the DVP ex starter that is attached to the unit. Secure the ex pipe to the inner of the DVP ex starter

with one (1) small band clamp and three (3) self tap-

ping #10 screws.

6. Slide the 8" ex pipe over the outer pipe of the DVP ex starter that is attached to the unit. Secure the ex pipe to the outer of the DVP ex starter with one

(1) large band clamp and three (3) self tapping #10

screws.

7. Remove the slip section from the termination cap.

8. Attach the DVP inner ex adapter to the inner pipe of

the slip section for the termination cap using three (3)

self tapping #10 screws.

9. Attach the DVP outer ex adapter to the outer pipe of

the slip section for the termination cap using three (3)

self tapping #10 screws.

10. Extend 5" inside ex pipe to reach the inner ex

adapter on the slip section of the termination cap

and install spacer springs. Spacer springs should be equally spaced to prevent the inside and outside ex

pipe from touching each other and should be placed

in locations where the vent must bend.

11. Extend 8" outside ex pipe to reach the outer ex adapter on the slip section of the termination cap.

12. Slide 5" inner ex pipe over the inner ex adapter on

the slip section and secure it with one (1) small band

clamp and three (3) self tapping #10 screws.

13. Slide 8" outer ex pipe over the outer ex adapter on

the slip section and secure it with one (1) large band

clamp and three (3) self tapping #10 screws.

14. Carefully form the exible duct so the end attached to the slip section aligns with the 8.25" diameter opening in the DVP-FS 1" restop.

CAUTION

DO NOT crush, distort, or otherwise modify the dimension of the exible vent. Damage could cause appliance to overheat or have performance issues.

15. Install the termination cap to the exterior wall with four (4) #8 x 3" screws provided. In some installations the exible vent may need to pass through the DVP-FS wall shield restop. The exible vent outside diameter exceeds the diameter of the hole in the DVP-FS.

The diameter of the inner hole of the DVP-FS will need to be increased from 81⁄4" to 85⁄8". This modication can be made by trimming 3/16" evenly around the

circumference of the inner hole in the DVP-FS. This modication is not required in installations where the DVP slip section projects through the DVP-FS.

16. Install the slip section on the end of the ex onto the collars on the termination cap. Ensure that the two

overlap at least 11⁄2". See page 6.

17. When using aluminum or vinyl siding, nish the edges

of the siding around the termination cap with "J channel" and caulking to prevent water from leaking into

the building.

Installation Instructions

1. A wall square restop MUST BE installed if the vent

passes through a ceiling or exterior wall. Cut a 10"

wide x 10" high (254 x 254 mm) opening through the

exterior wall or framing. A wall rectangular restop

(not provided) MUST BE installed if the vent passes

through interior walls. In that case, cut a 10" wide x 12"

high (254 x 305 mm) opening through the wall or fram-

ing. The framing members may need to be reinforced. Position the restop on the hole previously cut and secure with screws or nails (not provided). Run vent pipe through restop. The gap between the vent pipe and restop may be sealed.

2. Attach slip section of cap to last vent section. Maintain

11⁄2 in. overlap between slip and vent sections. Make sure the termination cap is installed with the embossed

arrow pointing up.

3. If the house has vinyl siding, mark and cut the vinyl

siding around the pipe so the termination cap can be mounted ush to the wall. Finish the edges of the siding with trim or "J channel" and caulking to prevent

water from leaking into the building. Figure 3

4. Attach the termination cap to the exterior wall using four (4) screws provided.

VERTICAL THROUGH-ROOF FLEX VENTING

1. Flexible UL1777 listed venting may be used in any

venting application where rigid direct vent components

can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances that pertain to the rigid piping apply to

the exible venting. Flex kits may not be modied.

Flex kits may be added to the end of a vent run made

of rigid vent sections using pipe manufacturer’s approved ex to pipe adapters. This may occur only

if doing so does not violate any of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements

or clearance considerations detailed in this manual.

2. The ex adapter starter is used to attach ex venting to the appliance starting collar. It includes a 5" inner and 8" outer unitized ex adapter starter. Figure 1

• The ex adapter starter is required to start all ex

runs.

• Never install damaged or torn exible venting.

• Over tightening clamps may rip, tear, or otherwise

damage exible venting.

• The adaptor kit does not include individual ex

pipe sections which may be purchased separately. (UL1777 listed type venting only.)

3. Start the exible vent as follows—

A. Installing the inner ex adaptor and pipe. Figure 16

1. Attach the DVP ex starter onto the starting collar on the unit. Slide the male end of the inner ue over the inner collar of the appliance, at the same time, slide the outer ue over the outer collar of the appliance. Push the ex

starter section into the appliance collar until all

the lances have snapped in place. Tug slightly on the section to conrm it has completely locked into place. Install three (3) self tapping #10 screws through the DVP ex starter into the starting collar of the appliance.

2. Slide the small gear clamp over the inner exible vent pipe, and push out of the way.

3. Pull and extend the inner exible vent.

4. Slide the inner vent onto the adapter collar, for a minimum 2" overlap.

5. Locate the clamp at approximately 3/4" from the ex end and tighten.

5. Secure the clamped outer section with three

self tapping screws, drilled equidistant, just

above the clamp perimeter.

C. Routing UL1777 ex pipe.

1. Always maintain the required clearance when routing the ex vent assembly.

2. Install restop spacers, Figure 18, when penetrating ceilings, attic spaces, or walls.

3. Do not allow the exible vent to bend in radius tighter than 5" (127 mm). Figure 17

4. Horizontal runs of exible vent shall be supported at maximum 2 foot intervals; vertical runs, ve feet intervals. Metal strapping, properly secured, is an acceptable means to support the exible vent.

5. Flexible vent spacers are to be installed at intervals prescribed by the exible vent

manufacture; and in such a way as to maintain

concentric inner and outer vent spacing.

• Match the three holes in each side and fasten with three

screws to form a tube.

• One or more tabs may be folded outward on the bottom of the shield to allow attachment to ceiling restop.

• Bend remaining tabs inward on bottom of shield where

it rests on the ceiling restop to maintain the air space between the pipe and shield. Set the shield on the ceiling restop.

• Bend all tabs inward 90° around the top of the shield.

These tabs must be used to prevent blow-in insulation from getting between the shield and vent pipe, and to

maintain clearance.

Vaulted Ceiling Installation

• Remove one shield from box.

Note: Cut previously installed batt insulation

to make room for the attic insulation shield.

• Cut the attic insulation shield (if application is for vaulted

ceiling) using a laser-etched cut line, to t your ceiling pitch. Snip cut edge to create three bend tabs.

• Wrap shield around pipe if pipe is already installed in

area to be insulated.

• Match the three holes in each side and fasten with three

screws to form a tube.

• One or more tabs may be folded outward on the bottom of the shield to allow attachment to ceiling restop.

• Bend remaining tabs inward on bottom of shield where

it rests on the ceiling restop to maintain the air space between the pipe and shield. Set the shield on the ceiling restop.

• Bend all tabs inward 90° around the top of the shield.

These tabs must be used to prevent blow-in insulation from getting between the shield and vent pipe, and to

maintain clearance.
