Vent Requirements Adding Restriction - Jøtul GF 100 DV II Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Venting Requirements
Both stoves may be installed with a vertical or horizontal
termination and must conform to the configuration
requirements described in this section. This appliance is
approved for use with vent systems from the following
manufacturers:
• Simpson Dura-Vent GS
• American Metal Products (Amerivent)
• Security Chimneys International, Ltd. (Secure Vent)
• Selkirk Metalbestos (Direct Temp)
• Metal-Fab, Inc. (Direct Vent
• Industrial Chimney Corp. (ExcelDirect Vent)
Use parts of one manufacturer only - DO NOT MIX VENT
COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS IN
THE SAME SYSTEM.
Installation of any components not manufactured or
approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance require-
ments will void all warranties and could result in property
damage, bodily injury, or serious fire.
The approved vent configurations described in this
manual are derived from extensive testing under con-
trolled laboratory conditions. Gas appliance performance
can be negatively affected by variables present in the
installation environment, i.e: atmospheric pressure,
strong prevailing winds, adjacent structures and trees,
snow accumulation, etc. These conditions should be
taken into consideration by the installer and stove owner
when planning the vent system design.
IMPORTANT
• JOINT SEALING REQUIREMENT: APPLY A 1/8" BEAD OF
HIGH-TEMPERATURE SEALANT
(SUCH AS MIL-PAC®) TO THE
MALE SECTION OF THE INNER
VENT PIPE. THE CEMENT
SHOULD FORM A SEAL
BETWEEN THE INNER AND
OUTER PIPES.
• NEVER MODIFY ANY
VENTING COMPONENT, OR
USE ANY DAMAGED
VENTING PRODUCT.
• THE GAS APPLIANCE AND
VENT SYSTEM MUST BE VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE
OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING AND NEVER ATTACHED TO
A CHIMNEY SERVING A SOLID FUEL OR GAS BURNING
APPLIANCE. EACH DIRECT VENT GAS APPLIANCE MUST
HAVE ITS OWN SEPARATE VENT SYSTEM. COMMON
VENT SYSTEMS ARE PROHIBITED.
• IF VENTING SYSTEM IS DISASSEMBLED FOR ANY
REASON, REINSTALL PER THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED
FOR THE INITIAL INSTALLATION.
Intake Air Restriction
You may need to restrict air intake to the burner, depend-
ing on the stove vent configuration. Two Side Restrictor
Plates and one Rear Restrictor Plate are included in the
Miscellaneous Kit for this purpose. Use the following
guidelines to determine the proper restriction, if any, for
your installation.
Horizontal Termination
No air restriction should be necessary. Do not install the
restrictor plates.
Vertical Termination
1. For Any Vertically Terminated Stove - Fig. 5.
Remove the Recirculator Plate from the back of the
Burner Skirt. It is secured by a single sheet metal screw.
2. Optional Restriction - Fig. 6.
A) Termination less than 8 ft. high:
Install Rear Restrictor Plate. Engage the plate with the
two pins on the back of the Burner Skirt.
B) Termination 8 - 15 ft. high:
