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 installation to minimize extra framing. The breeching through
the exterior wall should be centred (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 18-
inches below combustible material such as a deck or roof over-
hang and the side of the terminal must be a MINIMUM of 12-inches
away from an adjacent wall. (See Figure 10)
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 and secured with screws.
3) Continue adding vent components per the pre-planned system
configuration. 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 clearance to combustibles.

4) The starter pipe (SK 18 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
INSTALLATION
WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE ELBOW ASSEMBLY OR
STRAIGHT PIPE SECTION IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY ONTO THE
STARTING COLLARS AND IS SECURELY FASTENED.

ATTACHMENT TO FLOOR

Mobile Home installations require that the appliance be firmly at-
tached to the structure. Once the appliance is in it's final location,
secure the unit in place through holes in the pedestal base. The holes
are located just behind the front access panel on the left and right hand
side of the base.
HORIZONTAL RUN
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL
Note: Any combination of rise and run with a maximum of
two elbows (90° or 45°) may be used. Vent length must be
constrained to the boundries of this chart. For each
additional elbow set, reduce horizontal run by 2 feet.
