6. Venting
Requirements
The Jøtul GF 160 DV IPI gas stove may be installed with
a vertical or horizontal termination and must conform to
the configuration requirements described below.
This appliance is approved for use with vent systems
from the following manufacturers:
• M&G DuraVent DirectVent Pro and GS Series
• American Metal Products (Amerivent)
• Security Chimneys International, Ltd. (Secure Vent)
• Selkirk Metalbestos (Direct Temp)
• Metal-Fab, Inc. (Direct Vent)
• Industrial Chimney Corp. (ExcelDirect)
• Bernard Dalsin Mfg. (Pro Form)
• Olympia Chimney Supply, Inc. (Ventis Direct 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
requirements 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 controlled 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 OR 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 THE VENTING SYSTEM IS DISASSEMBLED FOR
MAINTENANCE OR ANY OTHER REASON, IT MUST BE
PROPERLY REASSEMBLED AND RESEALED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE ORIGINAL VENT MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS.
CONFIRM THAT ALL INTERLOCKING JOINTS ARE TIGHTLY RE-
SECURED AND THAT ALL SEALS ARE MAINTAINED INTACT.
REINSTALL ANY FASTENERS AND REPLACE AS NECESSARY.

DO NOT USE SILICONE SEALANT.
RE-INSTALL THE TOP PLATE BEFORE
CONNECTING VENT TO THE STOVE.
Vent Restriction
The GF 160 DV IPI is equipped with an Exhaust Restrictor
Plate which enables regulation of the exhaust gas
flow. The plate prevents overly-strong draft that can
cause poor combustion and weak flame picture. Follow
the guidelines below and on the following pages to
determine the correct restrictor plate setting for your
particular installation.

Exhaust Restrictor

The Exhaust Restrictor plate is located within the firebox
exhaust outlet. It is adjusted by rotating the dial on the
right side of the outlet within a range beginning at the
factory-set, fully open position (no restriction) to a fully
restricted position. See Figs. 6.2 and 6.3. The Minus (-) and
Plus (+) signs on the dial relate to degrees of restriction,
from zero to approximately 70%. The four, lettered
positions correlate to the termination zones (A,B,C,D)
diagramed in figure 6.4. Use the diagram to determine
the degree of restriction and shutter setting that
correlates to your vent configuration.
Adjusting Exhaust Restrictor Plate:
1. Use a 10 mm open-end wrench to loosen the lock
nut and then use the pivot tab to set the dial to the
position appropriate to your termination zone. See
figs. 6.2-6.4, page 10.
2. Re-tighten the lock nut after adjustment.
