Hearth Requirements General Hearth Considerations SAFETY WARNING! The Ventana is a very effective radiant heater. The hearth/floor in front of the heater can get very hot (in excess of 200ºF). Locating the unit raised above the hearth/floor or adding one of the optional screen fronts or a generic freestanding screen in front of the unit can greatly reduce hearth temperatures.
Hearth Requirements Rules 1. Any hearth/floor in front of fireplace within 4 inches of the bottom of the unit must be non-combustible and project a minimum distance as shown on page 14. The hearth/floor must have a non-combustible finish applied over the 1/2 inch insulation board provided with the engine. This insulation board acts as a thermal break. 2.
Hearth Requirements Unit With Site-Built Non-Combustible Hearth Extending When using Optional Trims and Mantels, Surface of Finished Hearth Must Be Flush With Bottom of Fireplace Front of Fireplace (Surface of Cement Board) (otherwise, optional trims will not fit) Raised 4” above combustible floor Example: If the fireplace is raised 2” above combustible floor, the non-combustible-flushwith-bottom-of-fireplace hearth must project a min. of 6” in front of the fireplace.
Framing 1/2” thick cement board required above and on each side of engine (supplied w/engine) Between underside of header and base of heater. Note: May increase if raising heater further. See Hearth Requirements Section.
Venting Vent Material Wall Thickness This unit is approved for installation using 4 x 6‑5/8 inches coaxial direct vent pipe and accessories manufactured by Simpson Dura-Vent. Follow the installation instructions supplied with the individual venting accessories. The appliance vent is suitable for penetrating a combustible wall assembly up to 8 inches in thickness. A non-combustible wall can be of any thickness up to the maximum horizontal run of vent pipe allowed for the particular installation.
Venting Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such a manner as to: • Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to the exterior wall surface.
Venting How to Read the Venting Chart The chart below applies to roof or wall termination. 1. The total length of the vent pipe cannot exceed 40 feet (12.2 m). 2. The minimum vertical height with roof termination is 6 feet (1.83 m). 3. Any combination of rise and run can be used as long as they are within the allowable limits shown on the chart below. 4. A maximum of 4 x 90 degrees elbows—or equivalent (2 x 45 degr. = 90 degr.)—can be used. 5.
Venting Restrictor MANY INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE A RESTRICTOR for improved flame picture and performance, This unit is supplied with one restrictor having four different positions or settings. The level of restriction required depends on the vertical rise in the venting system and, to a lesser degree, the horizontal run and number of elbows. The amount of restriction is based on laboratory tests.
Venting Vent Termination • The vent terminal must be located on an outside wall or through the roof. This direct vent appliance is designed to operate when an undisturbed airflow hits the outside vent terminal from any direction. The minimum clearances from this terminal that must be maintained when located on an outside wall are shown in the figure below. Any reduction in these clearances could result in a disruption • • • • • of the airflow or a safety hazard.
