Basement Installation; Floor Protection - Mirage SERIES A Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

BASEMENT INSTALLATION

1) In planning a basement installation it is necessary to determine the
exact position of the gas stove, the location of the vent terminal and
the length of vent pipe to be used. Various combinations of vertical
and horizontal vent pipe may be employed. Always plan your instal-
lation to minimize extra framing. The breeching through the exterior
wall should be centered (if possible) between two building members.
IMPORTANT: When locating this hole it should be noted that the
bottom of the vent terminal must be a MINIMUM of 12-inches above
grade, the top of the terminal must be a MINIMUM of 24-inches below
combustible material such as a deck or roof overhang and the side
of the terminal must be a MINIMUM of 12-inches away from an
adjacent wall. (See Figure 15)
2) Attach the coaxial vent pipe or 90° elbow with crimped end away from
unit. All joints and seams in the vent system should be sealed with high
temperature silicone.
3) Continue adding vent components per the pre-planned system con-
figuration. Support spacer must be used for each 6-feet of vertical and
horizontal run. The spacers are placed around the pipe and nailed or
screwed to the framing members. Maintain a minimum 1-inch clear-
ance to combustibles.

4) The starter pipe (SK 12 or SK 24) must be the last section in the vent
system. The pipe may have to be cut to length depending on the wall
thickness and/or position of vent system. Cut both pipes to the same
length. Do not cut off the crimp-bead off the 5-inch inner pipe.
5) When the unit and venting is properly installed, the 7-inch vent pipe
will project 3/4-inch past the outside wall surface and the 5-inch inner
pipe will extend 1-inch past that.
6) Install vent terminal according to section VENT TERMINAL INSTAL-
LATION
WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE ELBOW ASSEMBLY OR
STRAIGHT PIPE SECTION IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY ONTO THE
STARTING COLLARS AND IS SECURELY FASTENED.

FLOOR PROTECTION

The Mirage direct vent appliance may be installed on a combustible floor.
If the appliance is to be installed on flooring that may make the unit
unstable, the appliance must be fastened to the structure or installed on
a metal or wood panel extending the full depth and width of the unit.
