1. Locate the power vent termination following the clearance
to combustible table, venting conguration diagram (Fig. #1 &
1a), and terminal location diagram (Fig. #2).
2. Cut and frame an 11” x 11” opening. The centre of
the square hole should line up with the centre line of the
horizontal pipe.
3. Install the Simpson Duravent (or equivalent) Wall thimble,
part number 1247 (not supplied with kit) in the opening
to retain any insulation in the wall and maintain proper
clearances. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
noncombustible material only (i.e.. Masonry block or concrete)
the wall thimble is not required and a hole with zero clearance
is acceptable. (8” hole)
4. Attach the terminal to the outside wall. Ensure that the
terminal is the right way up and that only the outer anges that
are used to secure the terminal to the building are covered by
the exterior wall or siding. (Fig.#3) Note: No other part of the
terminal can be recessed into the exterior wall or siding.
5. Attach the vent adaptor directly to the appliance with three
screws. Note: The inner pipe does not need to be sealed.
(Fig. #4)
6. Connect the high temperature silicone tube to the pressure
tap on the adaptor, secure with the hose clamp provided and
route the tube through any hole back to control box. (Fig.
#4) Tube may touch unit and be trimmed if required. Note:
Ensure that there are no blockages in this tube, as this
will cause the control to malfunction.
7. Run the required Simpson Duravent GS / Secure Vent
/ Selkirk Direct-temp pipe from the adaptor to the terminal
assembly. Assemble as per the vent pipe manufacturer’s
instructions.
Horizontal (Side wall) Venting
This kit uses either Simpson Duravent GS direct vent pipe, Secure Vent direct vent pipe or Selkirk Direct-temp
vent pipe with a 5” inner pipe and an 8” outer pipe. For part numbers see the table of venting components on
page 11 of this manual.

Vertical (Through Roof) Venting
This kit uses either Simpson Duravent GS direct vent pipe, Secure Vent direct vent pipe or Selkirk Direct-
temp vent pipe with a 5” inner pipe and an 8” outer pipe. For part numbers see the table of venting
components on page 11 of this manual.
Vertical installations must use the optional TCVT.PVVCA vertical adaptor box in conjunction with this kit. The vertical
adaptor box can only be installed on a at surface. Sloped surfaces require the construction of a chase which provides the
minimum interior, square opening of 11” x 11” for the venting and wiring to pass through. Flat roofs may require a chase
depending on local codes and roof construction. (If in doubt check with local inspector)
The terminal must be located in accordance with the clearances outlined in Fig. #1 and 2.
All part numbers in the following section are shown in Fig.
#5.
1. Place the ashing (Part A) onto the chase and seal
using silicone.
2. Put a bead of silicone on the underside of the vertical
standoff (Part B) and place it on top of the ashing. Align
the eight holes and secure both parts to the chase using
eight #8 x 1 1/2” screws provided.
3. Install the drip shield (Part C) onto the top of the vertical
standoff using a bead of silicone between the two. Do not
screw this part in place.
4. Bring the 14-2 electrical wire (not supplied) up through
the holes in both the ashing and the drip shield leaving at
least 12” of excess wire above the drip shield.
5. IMPORTANT: Attach an appropriate length(s) of the
vent to the power vent terminal, sufficient to pass through
the chase.
NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT AN ADJUSTABLE LENGTH
VENT PIPE TO THE TERMINAL.
6. Seal the connection of the rst length of pipe at the
terminal and any other pipe to pipe joint by both screwing
and taping the outside joint using high temperature foil
tape.
7. Remove the junction box cover. (Part D)
8. Remove and discard the exhaust shield. (Part E)
9. Apply a bead of silicone on the bottom ange of the
power vent terminal (TCVT.WSPVB1)
10. Slide the vent through the drip shield and at the same
time thread the electrical lead through the hole in the
bottom of the terminal.
11. With the power vent terminal resting on the drip shield,
align the eight holes in each of the vertical standoff, the
drip shield and the power vent terminal and then screw
them together using the eight #8 x 1/2” stainless screws
provided.
12. Join the 14-2 wire lead to the blower wires using
the appropriate connectors and attach the ground wire.
Reinstall the junction box cover.
13. Install the vertical rain cap (Part F) over the power vent
blower. ALIGN THE EXHAUST OUTLET ON THE POWER
VENT TERMINAL WITH THE EXHAUST PORT ON THE
VERTICAL RAIN CAP.
14. Secure the vertical rain cap to the power vent blower
with the remaining eight #8 x 1/2” stainless screws.
NOTE:
THERE ARE NO PILOT HOES IN THE BASE OF THE
POWER VENT TERMINAL. 1/8” DIAMETER PILOT
HOLES SHOULD BE DRILLED USING THE HOLES IN
THE VERTICAL RAIN CAP AS A GUIDE.
DO NOT SILICONE THE VERTICAL RAIN CAP TO
THE POWER VENT TERMINAL AS IT NEEDS TO BE
REMOVABLE FOR SERVICING.
15. Attach the vent adaptor directly to the appliance with
three screws provided. (Fig. #4)
16. Connect the high temperature silicone tube to the
pressure tap on the adaptor, secure with the hose clamp
provided and route the tube through any hole back to
control box. (Fig. #4) Tube may touch unit and be trimmed
if required. Note: Ensure that there are no blockages in
this tube, as this will cause the control to malfunction.
17. Run the required Simpson Duravent GS / Secure Vent
/ Selkirk Direct-temp pipe from the adaptor to the terminal
assembly. Assemble as per the vent pipe manufacturer’s
instructions.
Installation:
CAUTION: The vent restrictor must be fully
open for proper operation.

Control System Connections
The gas control system is located on the right hand side of
the rebox behind an access panel and the decorative brick
panel.
1) Remove right side rebox panel if already installed.
2) Remove access panel using care not to damage gasket.
(Fig. #10)
3) Locate and disconnect the spade connectors in the black
wire loop on the right side of the module and in the orange wire
running from the module to the socket on the valve labelled
“pilot”. (Fig. # 11 and 12)
4) Using the wires provided, connect the 120V “hot” supply
wire to one of the black wires from the control module. Then
connect the “hot” wire from the power vent blower to the other
black wire on the control module. The module acts as a switch
to turn on the power vent blower. (Fig. #13) (Also see wiring
diagram on Pg. 9)

This power vent system can only run on
115 V AC. Before operating the unit, the
battery backup located behind the wall
switch receiver must be removed.

5) Connect the pressure switch pig tails to
the orange wire. (Fig. # 14 & 15)
6) Attach the silicone tube from the vent
adapter pressure tapping to the low side
of the switch. (Fig. # 14 & 15)
Caution: Connect the switch prior to
securing. In the case of accidentally
dropping the switch between the control
box and rebox it can still be easily
retrieved with the wires.
7) Secure the pressure switch to the control
box using the 2 screws provided with this
kit. (Fig. # 15A)
WARNING:This switch must be installed
in a vertical position and will not function
if installed otherwise. (Fig. 15B)
