Venting System Assembly; Important Safety Information; Before You Start - Vermont Castings SDDVTCBSB Installation & Operating Manual

Venting System Assembly

!
All HHT Direct Vent Stoves have been tested and
approved to ANSI/CSA Standards and will operate safely
when installed in accordance with this instruction manual.
Read all instructions before starting installation, then follow
these instructions carefully to maximize stove performance
and safety. Report damaged parts to your dealer.
!
Always maintain minimum clearances around vent
systems. Rear/Top Vent Vertical Side wall: Horizontal
sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" (76
mm) clearances to combustibles at the top of the flue and
1" (25 mm) clearance at the sides and bottom until the flue
penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1" clearance all
around the flue is acceptable at this point of penetration. If
vertical rise is 71⁄2 feet (2.3 m) or higher when top venting,
the clearance to combustibles is 1" on all sides of the
horizontal run. FOR VERTICAL RUNS ONLY, maintain a
1" (25 mm) minimum clearance to all sides. Do not pack
the open air spaces around the stove or flue with insulation
or other materials. Any horizontal run must have a 1/4" rise
for every one (1) foot of run towards the vent termination.
Never run the vent level or down.
!
Failure to follow these instructions may create a possible
fire hazard and will void the warranty.
!
Any common venting of this gas appliance with other gas
appliances is not allowed.
