Step 4. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
Model 8000TVD is approved to use 6-inch (152mm) diameter
B-type vent. B-type vent must be used when the vent
system is within combustible construction.
These models may also use single wall rigid or flexible gas
vent IF and ONLY IF the vent system is installed within
non-combustible construction such as a masonry chimney.
The same diameter noted above for B-type vent must be
used for single-wall vent. See Figure 5.
For B-type vent the clearance to combustibles is 1-inch.
Follow vent manufacturers REQUIRED clearances.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the
type of fuel burned and the venting configuration used.
B. System Components.

PARAMETERS.
Connect a B-Type vent component to the flue outlet collar.
Look at the vent pipe through the holes in the 10 5/8" ring to
check that the vent pipe is attached.
NOTE: It is always better to first attach a straight section
of vent to the unit before attaching an elbow. Avoid
using elbows in the vent system if possible.
A 90-degree elbow can be attached directly to the unit. If it
is, it can be followed by a MAXIMUM 15-feet horizontal
run, a second 90-degree elbow ending in a minimum 30
foot vertical.
A minimum of 9 foot vertical rise ending in a listed termination
cap is required for the unit.
Continue to add vent components, until the vent run is
completed.
WARNING: YOU MUST NOT EXCEED A TOTAL
!
MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN OF 15 FEET FOR
THE ENTIRE VENT SYSTEM.
