D. How to Use the Vent Graph

E. Venting Guidelines

NOTES
The maximum horizontal vent run is 15 ft. (5m) when the
vertical vent rise is 10 ft. (3m).

2.
3.

Measure the vertical distance from the center line of the
flue pipe to the center of the 90° elbow. On the graph
below, draw a horizontal line from that measurement
on the vertical axis across until it intersects with the
slanted line.
From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to
the bottom of the graph.
The point at which this line meets the bottom line of the
graph is the maximum length of the horizontal run.

EXAMPLE 1: If the vertical dimension from the center line
of the flue vent to the center of the 90° elbow is 7 ft. (2m),
the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed
9 ft.-8 in. (3m).
EXAMPLE 2: If the vertical dimension from the center line
of the flue vent is 21 ft. (6m), the horizontal run to the outer
wall flange must not exceed 4 ft.-3 in. (1m).
4. Each 90° elbow is equivalent to 3 ft. (914mm) of vent
pipe and each 45° elbow is equivalent to 1 ft. (305mm)
of vent pipe, and must be subtracted from the vent pipe
run. A single horizontal to vertical 90° elbow is already
calculated into the allowable 15 ft. (5m) run. Each
additional 90° elbow reduces the maximum horizontal
distance by 3 ft. (914mm).
EXAMPLE: The use of 3 elbows would reduce the allowable
horizontal run to 9 ft. (3 -1 = 2 elbows x 3 ft. = 6 ft.; 15 ft.
max. - 6 ft. = 9 ft. max.).

Use vent run supports per installation instructions.
Connect vent sections per installation instructions.
• Maintain all clearances to combustibles.
• Do NOT allow vent to sag below connection
point to appliance.
• Maintain specified slope (if required).

(3) For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior
of the building, a snorkel kit is available with a 14 in.
(356mm) and a 36 in. (914mm) tall snorkel termination
cap. Follow the same installation procedures as used
for standard horizontal terminations. If the snorkel
termination must be installed below grade (i.e. basement
application), proper drainage must be provided to
prevent water from entering the snorkel termination. Do
not backfill around snorkel termination.

Improper support may allow vent to sag or separate.

Step 3.
For installations using a round support box/wall thimble
(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for a
10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole. The center
of the square hole should line up with the center line of the
horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure 5.5. Cut and frame the
hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If
the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible
material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178mm)
diameter hole is acceptable.

Step 4.
Position the horizontal vent termination cap in the center of
the 10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole and run a
bead of non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, so
as to make a seal between it and the wall, attach termination
cap to the exterior wall with the four wood screws provided.
The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up (Figure
5.6).

NOTE:
(1) Installation requires a minimum of 6 in. (152mm)
horizontal run of vent with a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise run towards
the termination. Each 1 ft. (305mm) of horizontal venting
must include a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise. Never allow the vent
to run downward. This could cause high temperatures
and may present the possibility of a house or structure
fire.

(2) A termination cap with a built-in vinyl siding standoff is
highly recommended on a building with vinyl siding. The
pilot hole will be 2 in. (51mm) closer to the bottom of the
square than the top. Using a framing square, draw a 14
in. x 14 in. (356mm x 356mm) square around the pilot
hole in the siding. See Figure 5.7 on the next page.

the vent termination cap a sufficient distance so as to result
in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 in. (32mm). Secure the
connection between the vent pipe and the vent termination
cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from
the vent termination cap assembly into the outer wall of
the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to
connect the strips to the pipe section (Figure 5.9).

Step 1.
Check the installation instructions for required 1 in. (25mm)
clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or
other nearby combustible surfaces. See page 17, Figure
5.16. Check the instructions below for maximum vertical rise
of the venting system, and any maximum horizontal offset
limitations. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of
the vent graph (Figure 5.2) located on page 11.

Step 2.
Set the gas appliance in its desired location. Drop a plumb
bob down from the ceiling to the position of the appliance
flue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb
bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling,
and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof.
Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will
obstruct the venting system. You may wish to relocate the
appliance, or to offset, as shown in Figure 5.12, on the next
page, to avoid cutting loadbearing members. When location
is determined, drill small hole.

NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 25 ft. (8m) Figure
5.11).

NOTE: Maximum number of 45° elbows permitted for a
vertical installation is eight, provided their installation
does not decrease maximum allowable horizontal run (as
specified by vent graph, on page 11).

up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may
be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roofline. The
galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline, due to its
higher corrosion resistance.

NOTE:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions,

fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.
Step 5.
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole placed in
the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles, as
specified. Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows

Page 16

Step 7.
Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of the
vent (before adding the termination cap) meets the minimum
code requirements as outlined in the current CAN/CGA-B149
Installation Codes (in Canada), the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in USA), or local codes. Note that
for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased.
See Roof Pitch Table (Figure 4.3, on page 8). In high wind
conditions, nearby trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched
roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or
down drafting. In these cases increasing the vent height or
switching to the high wind termination cap may solve this
problem.

Step 6.
Place the support clamp (provided with the support box)
inside the support box (at the bottom), and secure to the pipe
section. The clamp allows the support box to support the
weight of the pipe sections. Continue to add pipe sections
until you are above the roofline.
Step 7.
Complete the cathedral ceiling installation by following the
same procedures outlined in steps 7 through 9 for vertical
installations, pages 16-17.
Step 8.
Install the black trim collar around the outside of the cathedral
ceiling support box (Figure 5.18). The two pieces of the trim
collar slide over one another to allow for easy adjustment
around the support box. Using the six screws provided,
secure the four corners and the overlapping sections of the
trim collar to the ceiling. You may want to predrill the holes for
the overlapped sections for ease of installation.

CAUTION

Cut and bend flashing as needed
to fit

Ensure that existing chimney is functionally sound and clean.
• Have inspection done by qualified chimney sweep or
professional installer BEFORE converting to direct vent
appliance.

Step 1.
Before cutting any holes, assemble the desired sections
of direct vent pipe to determine the center of the masonry
penetration.
Sealant adhesive

Figure 5.26

Step 2.
Once the center point of the penetration has been determined,
cut a 6 in. (152mm) diameter hole in the masonry. If the hole
is too large, the retro connector might not mount properly; if
the hole is too small, the appliance might starve for intake
air. If there is a frame wall in front of the masonry wall, cut
and frame a 10 in. (254mm) square opening in the wall
(centered around the 6 in. (152mm) masonry opening). If
there is sheet rock only (no studs) in front of the masonry the
10 in. (254mm) opening is still needed, but does not need
to be framed. If the hole is framed a wall thimble is required.
This allows the retro connector to mount directly on the
masonry and provide the correct clearances to combustibles
(Figure 5.25).

Step 4.
To determine the length of flex needed, measure from 3 in.
(76mm) above the top of the flashing down to the level of the
opening. Add the distance from the center of the chimney
out through the wall. Cut a piece of 4 in. (102mm) flex to this
length (extended to its nominal length). Be sure to leave 2-3
in. (51-76mm) of flex above the existing chimney to allow for
connection to the termination kit.
Step 5.
Connect the flex liner to the top adapter using three sheet
metal screws (Figure 5.21, page 19).
Step 6.
Feed the flex liner through the flashing into the chimney.
Carefully feed the flex liner down the chimney to the bottom
and out the opening in the masonry wall, forming an angle to
line up the flex liner with the vent opening on the appliance.

Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
• Do not let the flex liner sag below the level at
which it will connect to the appliance or connector.
This could allow hot gas to become trapped and
potentially become a fire hazard. The flex liner path
should always be sloped up toward the termination
cap.

Figure 5.25

Step 3.
Secure the flashing to the top of the masonry chimney using
a bead of non-hardening sealant-adhesive. If the flashing is
larger than the top of the chimney, cut and fold flashing as
needed to fit chimney (Figure 5.26).

August 1, 2008

Step 7.
If additional lengths of flex liner are needed to span the
chimney height, use a flex coupler to connect the pieces of
flex liner together. Connect the flex to the coupler by using
four sheet metal screws for each side (Figure 5.27, on the
next page).

D. After Appliance is Lit

CAUTION
Initial Break-in Procedure
When you light your appliance, you may notice that it produces heat which does have an associated odor or smell. If
you feel this odor is excessive it may require the initial three
to four hour continuous burn on high followed by a second
burn up to 12 hours to fully drive off any odor from paint and
lubricants used in the manufacturing process. Condensation
on the glass is normal.
NOTE: The appliance should be run three to four hours
on the initial start-up. Turn it off and let it cool completely.
Remove and clean the glass. Replace the glass and run the
appliance for an additional 12 hours. This will help to cure
the products used in the paint and logs.
During this break-in period it is recommended that some
windows in the house be opened for air circulation. This will
help avoid setting off smoke detectors, and help eliminate
any odors associated with the appliance’s initial burning.

WARNING
Fire Risk.
High Temperatures.

• Prevent accidental appliance operation when not
attended.
• Unplug or remove batteries from remote control if absent
or if appliance will not be used for an extended period of
time.
• Property damage possible from elevated temperatures.

CAUTION
Smoke and odors released during initial operation.
• Open windows for air circulation.
• Leave room during initial operation.
• Smoke may set off smoke detectors.
Smoke and odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.

WARNING
Fire Hazard.
Keep combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids
clear of appliance.
• Do NOT store flammable materials in the appliance’s
vicinity.
• Do NOT use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid or similar liquids in this appliance.
• Combustible materials may ignite.

Keep combustible household items away from appliance.
Do NOT obstruct combustion and ventilation air.
• Do NOT place combustible items on top of or in front of

• Keep furniture, draperies away from appliance.

E. Frequently Asked Questions
ISSUE

SOLUTIONS

Condensation on the glass

This is a result of gas combustion and temperature variations. As the appliance warms,
this condensation will disappear.

Blue flames

This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the appliance
is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.

Odor from appliance

When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first several hours.
This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from
manufacturing. If appliance has not been used for some time, dust can build up and
cause an odor.

Film on the glass

This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be
cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the
manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as gas appliance cleaner may be
necessary. See your dealer.

Metallic noise

Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down,
similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect
the operation or longevity of the appliance.

Troubleshooting

With proper installation, operation, and maintenance your gas appliance will provide years of trouble-free service. If you do
experience a problem, this troubleshooting guide will assist a qualified service person in the diagnosis of a problem and the
corrective action to be taken. This troubleshooting guide can only be used by a qualified service technician.

Symptom
1. After repeated triggering of the piezo
button, the spark ignitor
will not light the pilot.

2. The pilot will not stay
lit after carefully following the lighting instructions.

Possible Cause

Corrective Action

a. Defective ignitor.

Check the spark at the electrode and pilot. If no spark and electrode
wire is properly connected, replace the ignitor.

b. Defective pilot or
misaligned electrode
(spark at electrode).

Using a match, light the pilot. If the pilot lights, turn off the pilot and
trigger the piezo button again. If the pilot lights, an improper gas/air
mixture caused the bad lighting and a longer purge period is recommended. If the pilot will not light, ensure the gap at the electrode and
pilot is one-eighth (1/8) inch to have a strong spark. If the gas is OK,
replace the pilot.

c. No gas or low gas
pressure.

Check the remote shut-off valve from the appliance. Usually, there is
a valve near the gas main. There can be more that one (1) valve from
the appliance and the main.

d. No LP in tank.

Check the LP (propane) tank. You may be out of fuel.

a. Defective thermocouple.

Check that the pilot flame impinges on the thermocouple. Clean and /or
adjust the pilot for maximum flame impingement.
Ensure that the thermocouple connection at the gas valve is fully
inserted and tight (hand tighten plus 1/4 turn).
Disconnect the thermocouple from the valve, place one millivolt lead
wire on the tip of the thermocouple and the other meter wire on the
thermocouple copper lead. Start the pilot and hold the valve knob in. If
the millivolt reading is less than 15mV, replace the thermocouple.

b. Defective valve.
3. The pilot is burning,

burner, the valve knob is
in the ON position, and
the ON/OFF switch is in
the ON position.
b. Thermopile may
not be generating
sufficient millivoltage.

If the thermocouple is producing more than 15 millivolts, replace faulty
valve.
Check the ON/OFF switch and wires for proper connections. Place the
jumper wires across the terminals at the switch. If the burner comes on,
replace the defective switch. If the switch is OK, place the jumper wires
across the switch wires at the gas valve. IF the burner comes on, the
wires are faulty or connections are bad.
If the pilot flame is not close enough physically to the thermopile, adjust
the pilot flame.
Be sure the wire connections from the thermopile at the gas valve terminals are tight and that the thermopile is fully inserted into the pilot
bracket.
Check the thermopile with a millivolt meter. Take the reading at THTP&TP terminals of the gas valve. The meter should read 325 millivolts
minimum, while holding the valve knob depressed in the pilot position,
with the pilot lit, and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Replace
the faulty thermopile if the reading is below the specified minimum.
With the pilot in the ON position, disconnect the thermopile leads from
the valve. Take a reading at the thermopile leads. The reading should
be 325 millivolts minimum. Replace the thermopile if the reading is
below the minimum.
