Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. Actual product may vary from pictures in manual VERTICAL TERMINATION CAP (SECTION 6) NON-COMBUSTIBLE ROOF FLASHING MAINTAINS MINIMUM CLEARANCE AROUND PIPE (SECTION 4.D) STORM COLLAR (SECTION 4.D) VENT PIPE PENETRATES ROOF PREFERABLY WITHOUT AFFECTING ROOF RAFTERS (SECTION 8.
B. Design and Installation Considerations • Termination Cap Hearth & Home Technologies B-type vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of the building, and combustion air pulled from the room. • Storm Collar Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and permits.
E. Negative Pressure WARNING! Asphyxiation Risk! Negative pressure can cause spillage of combustion fumes and soot. Fireplace needs to draft properly for safety. Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent fireplaces successfully. Considerations for successful draft include: • Preventing negative pressure • Location of fireplace and chimney Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the fireplace to operate properly.
5 Framing and Clearances A. Selecting Appliance Location NOTICE: Illustrations reflect typical installations and are FOR DESIGN PURPOSES ONLY. Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. Actual installation may vary due to individual design preference. When selecting a location for the appliance it is important to consider the required clearances to walls (see Figure 5.1). WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate clearance around air openings and for service access.
B. Constructing the Appliance Chase Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness. A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the gas appliance and/or its vent system.
C. Clearances D. Mantel and Wall Projections NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly on carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than wood. WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clearances as specified. Framing or finishing material closer than the minimums listed must be constructed entirely of noncombustible materials (i.e., steel studs, concrete board, etc).
