GENERAL INFORMATION
These Installation Instructions must be used in conjunction
with the appliance and appropriate PVA adapter kit Installation
Instructions. Clearances listed in these Instructions supersede
those in the appliance's Installation Instructions.
Power venting of direct vent appliances may result in the
reduction of efficiencies by as much as ten percent. Consider
this in making any venting and heating decisions in any
installation application.
SELECTING AND INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
When selecting a gas appliance for use with the GPV, take into
consideration the various requirements and limitations in the
venting installation section for the following models:
Models Equipped with an Intermittent Pilot Ignition (I.P.I.)
It is recommended that the GPV be used with a gas appliance
equipped with an Intermittent Pilot Ignition (I.P.I.). Downward
vertical vent runs are permitted with an I.P.I. system. See
venting section in appropriate PVA Installation Instructions.
Models Equipped with Millivolt/ Standing Pilot
Downward vertical vent runs are not permitted with a standing
pilot system. See venting section in appropriate PVA Installation
Instructions.
INSTALLATION TO BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER
to conform with local codes. In absence of local codes install
to the current National Building Code in Canada or to regional
building codes in the United States. It must be electrically
connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In
the absence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1
CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA
70 NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE in the United States.
The GPV operates on 120 VAC 60 HZ electrical service which is
supplied at the firebox junction box.
The GPV is a Direct Vent Terminal
designed to allow installation of
gas appliances where typical vent
configurations cannot be achieved.

1.3 VENT LENGTHS
REFER TO POWER VENT ADAPTER KIT (PVA) FOR SPECIFIC VENTING INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE: If equipped, ACS switch must be disabled if there is any downward venting. Downward venting is not
allowed with appliances that use standing pilots.
20.4A
A. Remove the electrical access plate from the frame assembly, then
remove the knock out from this plate.
B. Insert the wiring through the electrical access plate and engage the
conduit bushing. Re-secure this plate. NOTE: The GPV includes a
20 foot (6.1m) wire harness cable. If this cable does not reach
the appliance, then it may be cut and a splice added. These
connections must conform with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in
Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code in the United
States.
C. Remove terminal access cover, see “INSTALLATION OVERVIEW” for
location and route cable through terminal.
D. Assemble gas power vent terminal to frame assembly.
E. Connect the male and female connectors.
F. Replace terminal access cover.
NOTE: Where possible, it is strongly recommended to have an access panel inside the building for
servicing the unit.
This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall. Having determined the correct
height for the terminal location, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall as illustrated to
accommodate the GPV.

A. Stretch the inner flex pipe to the required length taking
into account the additional length needed for the
finished wall surface. Slip the vent pipe a minimum of
3” (76.2mm) over the inner sleeve of the terminal and
secure with 3 #8 screws. Apply a heavy bead of the
high temperature sealant W573-0007 Mill Pac (not
supplied).
B. Using the outer flex pipe, slide over the outer
combustion air sleeve of the terminal and secure with
3 #8 screws. Seal using high temperature sealant
W573-0002 (not supplied).
C. Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) to the framed
opening and secure the terminal. Ensure the arrows
stamped into the frame assembly are pointing upwards.
NOTE: For firestop spacer installation instructions, see PVA
kit or the appliance Installation Manual.
D. Route venting through framed opening and firestop spacer to the
appliance.
E. The terminal mounting plate may be recessed into the exterior
wall or siding no greater than the depth of its return flange.
F. If more vent pipe needs to be used to reach the appliance, couple
them together as illustrated. The vent system must be supported
approximately every 3 feet (0.9m) for both vertical and horizontal
runs. Use noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum
clearance to combustibles.
G. Install the reducer (if required) or vent and
properly secure and seal to the unit using high
temperature sealant W573-0007 Mill Pac (not
supplied).

WARNING
ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RUN
OUT WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPENED OR REMOVED. PURGE SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. ASSURE THAT A CONTINUOUS GAS FLOW IS AT THE BURNER
BEFORE CLOSING THE DOOR. ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION.
In some instances the system may not light pilot/burner with the door open/removed. Partially blocking the
exhaust flue collar will allow the safety pressure switch to activate and allow gas flow to the pilot during the
initial test firing.

1.4.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
!
WARNING
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN UNDER WATER. CALL A QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE THE APPLIANCE INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE TO THE
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR EXPLOSION. DO NOT WIRE 110V TO THE VALVE OR TO THE
APPLIANCE WALL SWITCH. INCORRECT WIRING WILL DAMAGE CONTROLS.
ALL WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND SHALL BE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH LOCAL CODES. IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, USE THE CURRENT CSA22.1 CANADIAN
ELECTRIC CODE IN CANADA OR THE CURRENT NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 IN
THE UNITED STATES.
ALWAYS LIGHT THE PILOT WHETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME OR IF THE GAS SUPPLY HAS RAN OUT,
WITH THE GLASS DOOR OPENED OR REMOVED.
69.2
It is necessary to hard wire this appliance.
Permanently framing the appliance with an enclosure, requires the appliance junction box to be hard wired.
This appliance must be electrically connected and grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence
of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian electrical code in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA 70-1996
national electrical code in the United States.

1.4.7 ELECTRICAL BOX INSTALLATION
NOTE: Before finishing in the appliance, the power vent must be installed.
A. Start by removing the pre-finishing access panel or opening lower louvre.
B. Position the Power Vent Control Module in a convenient location (not on top of the heat shield in the
LHD50) and Velcro it to the base of the appliance.
C. Slide the 20’ (6.1m) power vent cable through the right side of the appliance and connect the box
connector to the side panel, see “INSTALLATION OVERVIEW” section for illustration.
D. Feed the wires through the inside panel, slide the split bushing over the coated wires and snap into the
7/8” (22.2mm) hole to protect the wires as illustrated. Attach the connections as per the appropriate
wiring diagram. See “WIRING DIAGRAM AND INSTALLATION” section.
E. Plug the power vent control module into either the appliance junction box or the control module, if
equipped.

1.6 WIRING DIAGRAM AND INSTALLATION
Connect the wiring to the power vent termination as outlined in the previous section, and connect the wiring
to the appliance as outlined in the schematic below. Ensure that the proper clearances are maintained for the
wiring and conduit. When installing the wiring it must never run above the vent run and it must be a minimum
1” (25.4mm) from all venting.
NOTE: The GPV includes a 20 foot (6.1m) wire harness. If this harness does not reach the appliance,
then it may be cut and a splice added. These connections must conform with local codes or, in the ab-
sence of local codes, use the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code in Canada or the ANSI/NFPA
70 National Electrical Code in the United States.
