vertiCal venting
The vent pipes must be connected to the proper collars on
the unit and the exhaust vent pipe must be connected to the
termination cap or the unit will not operate. The combustion
air vent pipe can be connected to the termination cap or it
can terminate inside the chimney.
The bottom opening of the chimney must be sealed around
the vent pipes if the combustion air vent is not connected
to the termination cap. Use unfaced fiberglass insulation to
seal around the vent pipes. The insulation may give off an
odor during the first hour of operation.
NOTE: The minimum vertical rise (exhaust vent) is 10 feet
(3.1 M) and the maximum vertical rise is 35 feet (10.7 M).
These dimensions are measured from the starting collars
of the unit to the end of the vent pipe.
The fireplace and fireplace chimney must be clean and in good
working order and constructed of non-combustible materials.
Inspect chimney cleanouts for proper fit and seal.
