  • Page 18: Venting Installation

    VENTING INSTALLATION REAR (THROUGH THE WALL) APPLICATIONS When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be vented directly to a termination located on the rear wall behind the appliance • The maximum horizontal distance between the rear of the appliance and the outside of termination is 20" (508 m). See Figure 15.

    VENT INSTALLATION INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION 1. Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joist, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset. See Figure 30 to avoid cutting load bearing members. For optimal flame appearance, a restrictor disk is necessary on straight vertical runs of 20' of more.
  • Page 25 3. Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole as a center point. (Cover any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole 1/ 2 in roof). The 9 "x9 " (241mm x 241mm) hole must be measured on the horizontal. Actual length may be larger depending on the pitch of the roof.
