Vertical Termination

A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 8'
(2.44 m) and no more than 40' (12 m) above the ap-
pliance flue collar. A restrictor plate (supplied) must be
used, where specified, in all vertically terminated vent
systems. (Refer to Figure 8) NOTE: The restrictor
plate supplied with the vertical termination should
be discarded. Adjust the restrictor plate according
to recommendations in Figure 10. A vertically termi-
nated vent system must also conform to the following
criteria:
•
No more than three 90° elbows may be used.
•
Two 45° elbows may be substituted for one 90˚
elbow. No more than six 45° elbows may be used.
•
Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet (305 mm) before
offset is used.
•
Termination height must conform to roof clearance
as specified in Figure 11.

Restrictor Plate Adjustment
The Radiance stove is shipped with a restrictor plate
in the Parts Bag. Adjustments can be made by loosen-
ing the adjustment screw to allow the restrictor plate to
slide up or down. (Fig. 9) A guide for usage is shown in
Figure 10.
NOTE: Some installations may require some adjust-
ment by the installer for optimum flame appearance.
Optimum flame appearance is a flame that is not sub-
ject to tall, dirty yellow flames producing soot or flames
lifting off of the ember bed ports.
