Vent Information

A. Venting Components

In order to comply with applicable codes and product warranties, use only following venting components:

B. Use of Elbows

• Hearth & Home Technologies (HHT)

• Simpson Dura-Vent

• Selkirk Direct-Temp

• Amerivent Direct

• Security Secure Vent

CAUTION

ALL vent confi guration specifi cations MUST be followed.

• This product is tested and listed to these specifi cations.

• Appliance performance will suffer if specifi cations are not followed.

DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING

COMPONENTS. Refer to the venting manufacturer’s instructions.

This product is approved to be vented either horizontally, through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You may vent through a Class A or masonry chimney if an approved adapter is used.

Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect. (See Figure 5.1.)

Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90° elbow. On

45° runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 in. (216mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216mm) vertical run. A length of straight pipe is allowed between two elbows. (See Figure 5.1.)

This appliance is a direct vent heater. All combustion air must come directly from the outside of the building. The vent pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an outer pipe. The inner pipe carries the appliance exhaust out of the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh combustion air into the appliance.

Vertical

• A round support box/wall thimble or heat shield is required when the venting passes through a combustible wall.

• A support box or ceiling fi restop is required when the venting passes through a ceiling.

• Roof fl ashing and a storm collar are required when venting passes through the roof.

• Follow instructions provided with the venting for installation of these items.

Do NOT connect this gas appliance to a chimney fl

ue serving a separate solid-fuel or gas burning appliance.

• Vent this appliance directly outside.

• Use separate vent system for this appliance.

May impair safe operation of this appliance or other appliances connected to the fl ue.

C. Measuring Standards

Vertical and horizontal measurements were made using the following standards.

• Pipe measurements are from center line to center line.

• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside of the mounting surface (fl ange of termination cap). See

Figure 4.1 on page 8.

• Vertical terminations are measured to the top of the last pipe before termination cap.

• Horizontal pipe installed level with 1/4 in. rise.


D. How to Use the Vent Graph

1. Measure the vertical distance from the center line of the flue pipe to the center of the 90° elbow. On the graph below, draw a horizontal line from that measurement on the vertical axis across until it intersects with the slanted line.

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

3. The point at which this line meets the bottom line of the graph is the maximum length of the horizontal run.

EXAMPLE 1: If the vertical dimension from the center line of the fl ue vent to the center of the 90° elbow is 7 ft. (2m), the horizontal run to the outer wall fl ange must not exceed

16 ft. (5m).

EXAMPLE 2: If the vertical dimension from the center line of the fl ue vent is 21ft. (6m), the horizontal run to the outer wall fl ange must not exceed 12 ft. 10 in. (4m).

4. Each 90° elbow is equivalent to 3 ft. (914mm) of vent pipe and each 45° elbow is equivalent to 1ft. (305mm) of vent pipe, and must be subtracted from the vent pipe run. A single horizontal to vertical 90° elbow is already calculated into the allowable 20 ft. (6m) run. Each additional 90° elbow reduces the maximum horizontal distance by 3 ft. (914mm).

EXAMPLE: The use of 3 elbows would reduce the allowable horizontal run to 9 ft. (3 -1 = 2 elbows x 3 ft. = 6 ft.; 20 ft. max. - 6 ft. = 14 ft. max.).

E. Venting Guidelines

NOTES

The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 ft. (6m) when the vertical vent rise is 10 ft. (3m).

The minimum horizontal vent run is 6 in. (152mm)

Horizontal sections require a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise for every 12 in. (305mm) of horizontal travel.

Exterior Vent Diameter = 6-5/8 in. (168mm); Inner Vent

Diameter = 4 in. (102mm).

Horizontal sections require noncombustible support every 3 ft. (914mm), e.g. wall straps.

For any vertical termination a minimum of 6 ft. (1.8m) vertical must be used.

EXCEPTIONS FOR HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS:

*When installing the Topaz in a rear vent configuration with no vertical rise, a Snorkel Kit must be used.

A derating orifice must be installed with a rear vent configuration with no vertical rise. The appropriate orifice is supplied with the rear vent kit.

*The maximum horizontal vent run is 3 ft. (914mm).

*The maximum horizontal vent run with a 45° elbow is 2 ft. (609mm).

*The minimum horizontal vent run is 6 in. (152mm).

• Ensure vent components are locked together correctly.

• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Step 2.

Direct vent pipe is designed with a locking connection. To connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built into the appliance at the factory.

Wall thickness may vary. Remember to include wall thickness in minimum clearances when figuring venting lengths for your installation needs.

Note: Female ends of direct vent pipe/elbows are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes by orienting the pipe indentations so they match and slide into the entry slots on the male ends, see Figure 5.4.

Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs may not be visible from the outside. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends.

Step 1.

Determine the desired location of the appliance. Check to ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the appliance.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

Explosion Risk.

Combustion Fume Risk.

Use vent run supports per installation instructions.

• Maintain all clearances to combustibles.

• Do NOT allow vent to sag below connection point to appliance.

• Maintain specifi ed slope (if required).

Improper support may allow vent to sag or separate.


Step 3.

For installations using a round support box/wall thimble

(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for a

10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the center line of the horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure 5.5. Cut and frame the hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178mm) diameter hole is acceptable.

NOTE:

(1) Installation requires a minimum of 6 in. (152mm) horizontal run of vent with a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise run towards the termination. Each 1 ft. (305mm) of horizontal venting must include a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a house or structure fire.

(2) The location of the horizontal vent termination on an exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must not be easily blocked or obstructed, see Figure 4.4 on page 9.

(3) For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the building, a snorkel kit is available with a 14 in.

(356mm) and a 36 in. (914mm) tall snorkel termination cap. Follow the same installation procedures as used for standard horizontal terminations. If the snorkel termination must be installed below grade (i.e. basement application), proper drainage must be provided to prevent water from entering the snorkel termination.

Check the installation instructions for required 1 in. (25mm) clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or other nearby combustible surfaces. See page 16, Figure

5.16. Check the instructions below for maximum vertical rise of the venting system, and any maximum horizontal offset limitations. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of the vent graph ( Figure 5.2) located on page 11.

NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 40 ft. (12m)

NOTE: Maximum number of 45° elbows permitted for a vertical installation is eight, provided their installation does not decrease maximum allowable horizontal run (as specified by vent graph, on page 11).

Step 2.

S

et the gas appliance in its desired location. Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to the position of the appliance flue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof.

Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will obstruct the venting system. You may wish to relocate the appliance, or to offset, as shown in Figure 5.12 to avoid cutting loadbearing members. When location is determined, drill small hole.

Step 4.

Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the appliance up through the round support box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.

Step 7.

Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of the vent (before adding the termination cap) meets the minimum code requirements as outlined in the current CAN/CGA-

B149 Installation Codes (in Canada), the National Fuel

Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in USA), or local codes.

Note that for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased. See Roof Pitch Table ( Figure 4.3, on page 8). In high wind conditions, nearby trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or down drafting. In these cases increasing the vent height or switching to the high wind termination cap may solve this problem.

Step 5.

Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles, as specified. Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the ceiling support box/wall thimble up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roofline. The galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline, due to its higher corrosion resistance.

NOTE:

(1

) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 ft.

(914mm) to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose , Figure 5.12, page 15.

Step 8.

Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and push it down to the top of the flashing ( Figure 5.15). Use non-hardening sealant above and below the joint between the storm collar and the pipe.

Optional High Wind Termination Cap

Secure Flashing with Non-Hardening

Sealant and Roofing Nails

(2) Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of flue gases and intake air.

Step 6.

Slip the flashing over the pipe section(s) protruding through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof with roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 5.14. Verify that the chimney is the required height above the roof. See roof pitch table, Figure 4.3, on page 8.

Step 9.

Twist-lock the vent cap and seal.

Note: For multi-story vertical installations, a ceiling firestop is required at the second floor, and any subsequent floors

( Figure 5.16). The opening should be framed to 10 in. x

Do not fill any of the required air space with insulation.


2. Cathedral Ceiling

Step 1.

Follow installation Steps 1 and 2 under vertical installation section, page 15.

Step 2.

Using the plumb-bob, mark the center line of the venting system on the ceiling, and drill a small hole through the ceiling and roof at this point. From the roof, locate the drill hole and mark the outline of the cathedral ceiling support box.

Step 3.

Remove shingles or other roof covering as necessary to cut the rectangular hole for the support box. Cut the hole 1/8 in.

(3mm) larger than the support box outline.

Figure 5.18

Step 4.

Lower the support box through the hole in the roof until the bottom of the support box protrudes at least 2 in. (51mm) below the ceiling ( Figure 5.17). Align the support box both vertically and horizontally with a level. Temporarily tack the support box in place through the inside walls and into the roof sheathing.

Step 6.

Complete the cathedral ceiling installation by following the same procedures outlined in steps 7 through 9 for vertical installations, pages 16-17.

Cut and bend flashing as needed to fit

Step 1.

Before cutting any holes, assemble the desired sections of direct vent pipe to determine the center of the masonry penetration.

Step 2.

Once the center point of the penetration has been determined, cut a 6 in. (152mm) diameter hole in the masonry. If the hole is too large, the retro connector might not mount properly; if the hole is too small, the appliance might starve for intake air. If there is a frame wall in front of the masonry wall, cut and frame a 10 in. (254mm) square opening in the wall

(centered around the 6 in. (152mm) masonry opening). If there is sheet rock only (no studs) in front of the masonry the

10 in. (254mm) opening is still needed, but does not need to be framed. If the hole is framed a round support box/wall thimble is required. This allows the retro connector to mount directly on the masonry and provide the correct clearances to combustibles (Figure 5.25).

To determine the length of flex needed, measure from 3 in.

(76mm) above the top of the flashing down to the level of the opening. Add the distance from the center of the chimney out through the wall. Cut a piece of 4 in. (102mm) flex to this length (extended to its nominal length). Be sure to leave 2-3 in. (51-76mm) of flex above the existing chimney to allow for connection to the termination kit.

Step 5.

Connect the flex liner to the top adapter using three sheet metal screws ( Figure 5.21 page 19).

Step 6.

Feed the flex liner through the flashing into the chimney.

Carefully feed the flex liner down the chimney to the bottom and out the opening in the masonry wall, forming an angle to line up the flex liner with the vent opening on the appliance.

• Do not let the fl ex liner sag below the level at which it will connect to the appliance or connector.

This could allow hot gas to become trapped and potentially become a fi re hazard. The fl ex liner path should always be sloped up toward the termination cap.

Step 3.

Secure the flashing to the top of the masonry chimney using a bead of non-hardening sealant-adhesive. If the flashing is larger than the top of the chimney, cut and fold flashing as needed to fit chimney (Figure 5.26).

Step 7.

If additional lengths of flex liner are needed to span the chimney height, use a flex coupler to connect the pieces of flex liner together. Connect the flex to the coupler by using four sheet metal screws for each side ( Figure 5.27, on the next page).

D. After Appliance is Lit

Initial Break-in Procedure

When you light your appliance, you may notice that it produces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation on the glass is normal.

NOTE: The appliance should be run three to four hours on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely.

Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to cure the products used in the paint and logs.

During this break-in period it is recommended that some windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate any odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.

CAUTION

• Prevent accidental appliance operation when not attended.

• Unplug or remove batteries from remote control if absent or if appliance will not be used for an extended period of time.

• Property damage possible from elevated temperatures.

CAUTION

Smoke and odors released during initial operation.

• Open windows for air circulation.

• Leave room during initial operation.

• Smoke may set off smoke detectors.

Smoke and odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

WARNING

Fire Risk.

High Temperatures.

Keep combustible household items away from appliance.

Do NOT obstruct combustion and ventilation air.

• Do NOT place combustible items on top of or in front of appliance.

• Keep furniture, draperies away from appliance.

WARNING

Fire Hazard.

Keep combustible materials, gasoline and other fl ammable vapors and liquids clear of appliance.

• Do NOT store fl ammable materials in the appliance’s vicinity.

• Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fl uid or similar liquids in this appliance.

• Combustible materials may ignite.

E. Frequently Asked Questions

ISSUE

Condensation on the glass

Blue fl ames

Odor from appliance

Film on the glass

Metallic noise

SOLUTIONS

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms, this condensation will disappear.

This is a result of normal operation and the fl ames will begin to yellow as the appliance is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

When fi rst operated, this appliance may release an odor for the fi rst several hours.

This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. If appliance has not been used for some time, dust can build up and cause an odor.

This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.

Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of the appliance.

Troubleshooting

With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualifi ed service person in the diagnosis of a problem and the corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualifi ed service technician.

Symptom

1. After repeated triggering of the piezo button, the spark ignitor will not light the pilot.

Possible Cause Corrective Action

a. Defective ignitor.

Check the spark at the electrode and pilot. If no spark and electrode wire is properly connected, replace the ignitor.

b. Defective pilot or misaligned electrode

(spark at electrode).

c. No gas or low gas pressure.

d. No LP in tank.

a. Defective thermocouple.

Using a match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and trigger the piezo button again. If the pilot lights, an improper gas/air mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge period is recommended. If the pilot will not light, ensure the gap at the electrode and pilot is one-eighth (1/8) inch to have a strong spark. If the gas is OK, replace the pilot.

Check the remote shut-off valve from the appliance. Usually, there is a valve near the gas main. There can be more that one (1) valve from the appliance and the main.

Check the LP (propane) tank. You may be out of fuel.

Check that the pilot fl ame impinges on the thermocouple. Clean and / or adjust the pilot for maximum fl ame impingement.

2. The pilot will not stay lit after carefully following the lighting instructions.

Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully inserted and tight (hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).

3. The pilot is burning, there is no gas to the burner, the valve knob is in the ON position, and the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.

b. Thermopile may not be generating suffi cient millivoltage.

Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt lead wire on the tip of the thermocouple and the other meter wire on the thermocouple copper lead. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If the millivolt reading is less than 15mV, replace the thermocouple.

b. Defective valve.

If the thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts, replace faulty valve.

a. ON/OFF switch or wires defective.

Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place the jumper wires across the terminals at the switch. If the burner comes on, replace the defective switch. If the switch is OK, place the jumper wires across the switch wires at the gas valve. IF the burner comes on, the wires are faulty or connections are bad.

If the pilot fl ame is not close enough physically to the thermopile, adjust the pilot fl ame.

Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve terminals are tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the pilot bracket.

Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the reading at TH-

TP&TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 325 millivolts minimum, while holding the valve knob depressed in the pilot position, with the pilot lit, and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Replace the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the specifi ed minimum.

With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads from the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The reading should be 325 millivolts minimum. Replace the thermopile if the reading is below the minimum.


Symptom

3. (Continued)

4. Frequent pilot outage problem.

5. The pilot and main burner extinguish while in operation.

6. Glass soots.

7. Flame burns blue and lifts off burner.

Possible Cause Corrective Action

c. Defective valve.

Turn the valve knob to the ON position. Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON position. Check the millivolt meter at the thermopile terminals.

The millivolt meter should read greater than 125mV. If the reading is acceptable, and if the burner does not come on, replace the gas valve.

Check the burner orifi ce for stoppage. Remove stoppage.

d. Plugged burner orifi ce.

e. Wall switch or wires are defective.

a. Pilot fl ame may be too high or too low, or blowing

(high), causing safety pilot to drop out.

a. No LP in tank.

b. Inner vent pipe leaking exhaust gases back into the system.

c. Horizontal vent improperly pitched.

d. Bad thermopile or thermocouple.

e. Improper vent cap installation.

a. Flame impingement.

b. Improper shutter setting.

c. Debris around opening at base of burner.

a. Insuffi cient oxygen being supplied.

Follow the corrective action in Symptom and Possible Cause 1.a.

Check the switch and wiring. Replace where defective.

Clean and adjust the pilot fl ame for maximum fl ame impingement on thermocouple. Follow lighting instructions carefully.

Check the LP (propane) tank. Refi ll the fuel tank.

Check for proper vent connection at fl ue collar and all vent joints.

The horizontal vent cap should slope down only enough to prevent any water from entering the appliance.

Replace if necessary.

Check for proper installation and freedom from debris or blockage.

Adjust the log set so that the fl ame does not excessively impinge on it.

Check that logs are placed according to installation instructions.

Adjust the air shutter at the base of the burner.

Inspect the opening at the base of the burner. NO MATERIAL SHOULD

BE PLACED IN THIS OPENING.

Ensure that the vent cap is installed properly and free of debris. Ensure that the vent system joints are tight and have no leaks.

Ensure that no debris has been placed at the base of, or in the area of the air holes in the center of the base pan beneath the burner.

Ensure that the glass is tightened properly on the appliance, particularly on top corners.
