A venting system shall not terminate within 1. 8 m (6ft) of the following: · A window, door or mechanical air supply inlet of any building, including soffit openings · A gas service regulator vent outlet · A combustion air inlet · A property line · A direction facing combustible materials or openings of surrounding buildings A venting system shall not terminate within 1m (3ft) of the following: · Above a gas meter/regulator assembly within 1m (3ft) horizontally of the vertical centreline of the regulator · A oil tank or an oil tankfill inlet · The inside corner of an L-shaped structure A venting system shall not terminate within . 3m (1ft) of the following: · Above grade level or any surface that may support snow, ice, or debris 3 POWER VENTER MOUNTING The installer must supply plumber's strap or 1/4" threaded rod with nuts and washers for mounting. The Power Venter may be mounted in any position as long as the shaft of the motor remains horizontal. The Power Venter housing is single wall, 15. 2 CM (6") must be maintained from all combustible materials. It is recommended that the Power Venter be mounted as close as possible to the point of termination. VENT PIPE INSTALLATION If Installing the Power Venter on an appliance not equipped with a draft hood or draft diverter (e. g. Power Burners, Induced Draft), a barometric draft control must be added. The barometric draft control must be the same size as the flue outlet and installed as close as possible to the appliance. After the draft hood, draft diverter or barometric draft control, a tapered reducer should be installed to reduce the flue to the size shown in the capacity table on page 1 of these instructions. After the tapered reducer, install the appropriate type of vent pipe to the inlet of the Power Venter. The vent pipe chosen must be in compliance with local codes. The Power Venter inlet and outlet are designed to accept single wall vent pipe. If using vent pipe other than single wall, the installer must supply adapters to connect to the Power Venter. While it is recommended that the Power Venter be mounted at the point of termination, it is acceptable to install vent pipe between the outlet of the Power Venter and the point of termination. The Installer must seal all vent pipe connections after the Power Venter with high-temperature caulk or aluminum vent pipe tape to prevent flue gas leakage during operation. The size of the vent pipe between the Power Venter and point of termination should be the same size shown on the selection table. Support the vent pipe as recommended by it's manufacturer. Examples of proper vent pipe installation are shown below. IMPORTANT: Elbows placed directly after discharge on Power Venter may cause erratic operation of Fan Prover.
