2.INSTALLATIONGUIDELINES
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS. DO NOT in-
stall PVI with the access panel facing upward. Over-
heating may occur.
a. If the PVI-DVP is being installed in a conned space
(such as a utility closet, mechanical room or attic space)
with a total volume less than 720 cubic ft, an 8 inch by 16
inch hole will be required directly in front of the access
panel. The conned space where PVI is installed, and
the space to which the access hole opens, must add up
to at least 720 cubic feet. This hole may be covered with
a decorative cover as long as the cover has a minimum of
50% open air. This also applies to a replace chase.
If the PVI-DVP is being installed in a space greater than
720 cubic ft the 8 inch by 16 inch access hole is still
required, but a solid cover may be used.
The decorative cover CANNOT be located on an outside
wall that is open to the environment.
b. For installations near loose-ll insulation (such as attics)
a minimum clearance of six inches must be maintained
between the access panel and the insulation.
c. The access panel opening must be located such that
access for service and adjustment is available. The
NEC requires a minimum of 30 inches of space around
the opening and 36 inches in front of the opening to
the access panel. Consult ofcials having jurisdiction
regarding regional requirements.
h. Clearances between the vent pipe and combustible ma-
terials must be maintained at 3-inch top, 1-inch sides,
and 1/2 inch bottom.
i. All outer pipe joints must be sealed with high tempera-
ture silicone. See Section10.A.
CAUTION: Failure to install, operate, and maintain the
power venting system in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions will result in conditions which may produce
bodily injury and/or property damage.
NOTICE: The blower motors present in this appliance
will generate sound during operation. The effects of the
increased sound level can be minimized with careful
planning during installation of the system. Locating the
powervent service access grill in an area remote of
immediate living space will reduce the effects of the added
sound generated during operation.
