Installation - Vermont Castings RADVTCB Homeowner's Installation And Operating Manual

The Radiance Direct Vent Room Heater, Model Nos. RADVTCB,
RADVTEB, RADVTBS, RADVTBD, RADVTBM, RADVTCSCB,
RADVTCSEB, RADVTCSBS, RADVTCSBD, RADVTCSBM, is
a vented gas appliance listed to the ANSI Standard Z1.88-009
and CSA .33-009 for Vented Room Heaters, and CSA .17-
M91, Gas-Fired Appliances For Use at High Altitudes.
The installation of the Radiance Direct Vent Room Heater must
conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z3.1/NFPA 54 — latest edition
and CSA B-149.1 Installation Code. (EXCEPTION: Do not de-
rate this appliance for altitude. Maintain the manifold pressure
at 3.5 inches w.c. for Natural Gas and 10 inches w.c. for LP gas
at maximum input.)
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the
rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other
gases unless a certified kit is used.
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization
equipment or accessories, and repair and servicing of equip-
ment shall be performed only by a qualified agency, preferably
NFI or WETT (Canada) certified. The term "qualified agency"
means any individual, firm, corporation, or company that
either in person or through a representative is engaged in
and is responsible for (a) installation or replacement of gas
piping, or (b), the connection, installation, repair, or servic-
ing of equipment, who is experienced in such work, familiar
with all precautions required, and has complied with all the
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.
The Radiance Direct Vent Room Heater should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a qualified service agency.
It is imperative that control compartments, burners, and cir-
culating air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
The Radiance Direct Vent Room Heater and its individual shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess
of 1/ psig (3.5 kPa).
The Radiance Direct Vent Room Heater must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system
at test pressures equal to or less than 1/ psig.
An accessible tap is located above the pilot/On-Off knob for
checking the inlet pressure.
'Direct Vent' describes a sealed combustion system in which in-
coming outside air for combustion and outgoing exhaust enter and
exit through two separate concentric passages within the same
sealed vent system. The system does not use room air to support
combustion. The Direct Vent system permits the gas appliance
to be vented directly to the outside atmosphere through the side
of the house or vertically through the roof. Conventional venting
systems (Natural Vent) take air from the room for combustion and
vent the exhaust vertically through the roof to the atmosphere.
This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the U.S.
and Canada.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manufactured
(mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or local codes.
