Vent Requirements
•The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire (see
“Clearances”below). Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
•The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system.
Altitude Considerations
This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we have
found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
•Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard.
Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

Surfaces
•Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in
place.
•Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may be
used to secure vent sections together if desired.
•High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section
connection (use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).
•If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent
creates a tight fit. If it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the joints of
the affected sections.
•Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel
•Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)
