Vent Installation

V :
enting
This appliance has been tested and listed as a direct­vent heater
system by OMNI­Test Laboratories, Portland, Oregon and is rec­
ommended for use with Security™ Secure Vent pipe*.
Important:
• Read all instructions carefully before starting the installation.
Failure to follow these instructions may create a fire or other
safety hazard and will void the warranty. Be sure to check for
specific clearances to combustible requirements on Page 9.
Do not extend the venting system vertically or horizontally in
excess of the distance prescribed on Page 16. Consult your
local building codes before beginning the installation.
• Always maintain the proper air spaces between the vent pipe
and nearby combustibles to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill
air spaces with insulation. Be sure to check the vent termina­
tion clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas
regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways, as specified
in these installation instructions on Page 17 and local building
codes.
• This 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 appli-
ance. Each direct­vent gas appliance must use its own separate
vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
• This appliance is recommended for use with Security™ Secure
Vent pipe*. The appliances and vent manufacturers warranties
will be voided and serious fire, health, or other safety hazards
may result from any of the following actions:
­ Installation of any damaged direct­vent component.
­ Unauthorized modification of the direct­vent system.
­ Installation of any vent component part not approved or
manufactured by the approved vent manufacturer.
­ Installation other than as instructed by Lennox Hearth
Products and vent manufacturers instructions.

Vent Considerations:

Twist-lock procedure:
Four indentations on female ends of pipes and
fittings are designed to slide straight onto male ends of adjacent pipes
and fittings by orienting the four pipe indentations so they match and
slide into the four entry slots. Push pipe sections completely together,
then twist­lock one section clockwise approximately one­quarter turn
until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs will not
be visible from the outside on the pipe or fittings. They may be located
by examining the inside of the female ends.
Supports:
Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every 3 feet. Wall
straps are available for this purpose.
Pipe Sealing:
If Simpson Dura­Vent pipe is used, the pipe must be sealed
as follows: seal both the inner and outer pipes with a high temperature
silicone sealant rated for at least 600ºF (commonly know as "RTV"). Run
a 1/8" bead of silicone around outside of male end of outer sleeve. Run
a 1/8" bead of silicone about 1/4" from the end of the male inner pipe,
which is found in the pipe to be attached above. Twist­lock the pipes or
fittings together.
