TJERNLUND UC1 User manual

Any non-condensing gas or oil fired heater that
can be vented by natural draft can be Side Wall
Vented with a Tjernlund Power Venter. Power
Venters are available in a variety of capacities and
also packaged for specific applications. All models
feature built-in interlock controls and most have
post-purge operation. Selection is based on type
of fuel, burner type and the BTU/hr. input rating
of the heater(s).
Safety proven Side Wall Venting Systems save time
and money and are an excellent choice for electric-
to-gas conversions, renovations, new construction
and for replacing deteriorated chimneys. Side Wall
Venting saves costly materials and labor on two,
three or more story runs. Install heaters where it
was previously impossible...in most cases up to 100
equivalent feet from an outside wall.
Venting for heating appliances
doesn’t have to go through
the roof. Neither does the cost.

Accessories
A full range of
models from small
residential to large
commercial capaci-
ties. All models
feature the UC1
interlock control,
factory set Fan
Proving Switch and
adjustable damper
to fine tune vent
system draft. Can be used on natural gas, LP and oil-fired
furnaces, boilers and water heaters. We recommend using
the SideShot vent systems for oil fired applications and do
not recommend using the models HS3, 4, 5 for oil due to the
potential volume of soot if the burner goes out of adjust-
ment. Select the appropriately sized VH1-Series Vent Hood
to complete your side wall vent system.
The most technologically
advanced side wall vent
systems available. Now
includes the UC1 Universal
Control. Designed for oil
fired heating equipment
or a deluxe gas vent sys-
tem. Patented terminus
prevents staining by pro-
pelling flue gases away
from the building exterior.
Features: zero clearance installation, pre-wired opera-
tion and safety controls and stainless steel construction
in all critical components. The second generation SS2
features a self-cleaning blower wheel, ultra fine draft
adjustment and slide out venter assembly.
For side wall venting
millivolt gas water
heaters. The ideal solu-
tion for electric-to-gas
conversions, renovations,
new construction or for
replacing old chimneys.
Package includes post-
purge relay/timer, 24V
solenoid valve, gas
pressure switch, spill switch and vent hood. Factory
pre-wired electrical box and 24V control cables
eliminate need for an electrician.
Specially designed to
terminate Tjernlund
Side Wall Vent Systems.
They are also an
approved method of
terminating many hori-
zontally vented appli-
ances. Vent hoods fea-
ture heavy duty, corro-
sive-resistant aluminum
construction. Models VH1-3, 4 and 6 also have built in
clearances from combustibles. Building exteriors are kept
clean while the structure’s exterior aesthetics remain undis-
turbed. All mounting hardware is included.
Solid state control interlocks
with any burner control circuit.
Features include: adjustable pre
and post purge, LED status/
diagnostic indicators, prover
switch delay to avoid burner
start up and wind induced
short cycling. Interlocks with
any 24-120 VAC burner control
circuit and also includes “dry”
contact actuation option.
Selectable voltage eliminates
false activation by burner con-
trol check circuits.

Side Wall Venting
Termination
Requirements
Quality engineered and
manufactured to maintain a
consistent draft on a wide
range of oil and gas fired
heating equipment. May be
used with chimney vented or
power vented heating equip-
ment. For fan assisted gas, oil
or solid fuel applications with
vent diameters from 4"–10",
choose the DC4 thru DC10.
For LP and natural gas applica-
tions with vent diameters from 4"–10",
choose the DC4G thru DC10G.
Used with any UC1 con-
trolled venter to inter-
lock additional 24/115
VAC heaters. Powered
by and communicates
with the UC1 through a
factory wired whip. For
one additional 24/115
VAC heater add the
MAC1E. To interlock up
to four more additional 24/115 VAC heaters, add the
MAC4E. MAC4E’s can be daisy chained together for
greater than 5 heaters. Important: Total combined
BTU/hr. input of all heaters and total equivalent pipe
lengths must be within venter’s capacity.
For use with UC1
Universal Control,
MAC1E or MAC4E
auxiliary controls.
The WHKE gas pressure
switch actuates the ven-
ter through the A - B
Dry contacts. The
Linear Limit switch
disables the heater in
the event of a venting
malfunction. Includes JA1 thermocouple junction
adapter. To interlock millivolt water heater(s) only
with a UC1 controlled venter add a WHKE for each
millivolt heater. To interlock a millivolt water
heater and one 24/115 VAC furnace or boiler with a
UC1 controlled venter, add a WHKE and a MAC1E.

Vent Hood Termination Code Requirements for
U.S. Installations
If possible, locate the Vent Hood on a wall that does not
face the direction of prevailing winds. This will diminish the
possibility of appliance interruption during periods of extreme
winds and prevent oil odors caused by backdrafts.
If possible, locate the Vent Hood no closer than 3
feet from an inside corner of an L-shaped structure.
Terminate the vent system so that proper
minimum clearances are maintained as cited
in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
(NFPA #54) and the latest edition of NFPA #211,
or as follows:
•Not less than 7 feet above grade when located
adjacent to public walkways...
•At least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located
within 10 feet...
•At least 4 feet below, 4 feet horizontally from or
1 foot above any door, window or gravity air inlet
into any building...
•At least 12 inches above grade...
•So that the flue gases are not directed so as to
jeopardize people, overheat combustible
structures or enter buildings, and...
•Not less than 2 feet from an adjacent building.
NOTE: Termination of a Side Wall Vent System with a device
other than the Tjernlund VH1 Series Hood could affect
system performance and result in a possible safety hazard.
Consult Vent Hood Instructions for complete installation
details.

Selecting the Proper SideShot®
Vent System
Verify that the total BTU/hr. input of the heating
appliance(s) falls within the proper category listed.
All BTU/hr. capacity ranges are based on a maximum
of 50 equivalent feet. To determine equivalent feet,
add the total length of straight vent pipe plus 10
feet for each 90 degree elbow and 5 feet for each
45 degree elbow. Vent runs of over 15 linear feet
should use an approved insulated vent connector to
prevent problems related to condensation.

Selecting the Proper Power Venter
NOTE: The vent pipe diameter in a Power Vent system
is usually smaller than that of a chimney vented
appliance. Select the Power Venter based on the
BTU/hr input of the appliance(s) rather than the
diameter of the appliance vent outlet. Use a tapered
reducing collar or transition fitting to reduce vent
pipe to diameter listed in selection table. To deter-
mine equivalent feet, add the total length of straight
vent pipe plus 10 feet for each 90 degree elbow and
5 feet for each 45 degree elbow.

NOTES:
1. If the appliance flue outlet is greater than 4'', install a tapered reducer after the draft
hood, draft diverter or barometric draft control, reducing vent pipe diameter to 4''. All
vent pipe from the appliance to the Power Venter may be 4''.
2.Table is based on straight vent pipe.90 degree elbows are equivalent to 6 feet of
straight vent pipe.
3.Determine maximum pipe length from type of equipment being vented and GPAK Model.
Column A pipe runs over 30 linear feet should use Type “B” vent. Column
B & C pipe runs over 15 linear feet should use Type “B” vent.
4. Column C allows for up to a 40,000 BTU/hr. input atmospheric water heater
common vented with a fan assisted appliance from column B.
5. All reducers and vent pipe are to be supplied by the installer and are available from your
local heating wholesaler.
6. GPAK* Series include a DC-4 Draft Control andVH1-4Vent Hood and are authorized for
use on furnaces eligible for the HTPV CorrectiveAction Program. Installations for the
HTPV Program must useType“B”vent.
7. Also available, GPAK-1TR* for use with Rheem, Ruud,Weatherking and Heat Controller brands.
