    VENTING FIREPLACE - TOP To Use the Vent Graph Venting Graph (Dimensions in Feet) 1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph, locate the point it intersects with the slanted graph line. 2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph. 3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the unit in accordance with same. EXAMPLE A: If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 35 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 6.5 feet. EXAMPLE B: If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 6.5 feet, the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 14.5 feet. SPECIAL NOTE: For each 45 degree elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18" (457 mm). This does not apply if the 45 degree elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system. Reduce 3' for every 90° elbow. Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal vent length is 20' and if two 45 degree elbows are required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17'.
  • Page 19 VENTING FIREPLACE - TOP (continued) Below Grade Installation When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12” (305 mm) above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7” (178 mm) below grade level. The 7” (178 mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall. Ensure the sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area. Figure 24 Examples of possible venting systems using two 90° elbows.
  • Page 20 VENTING FIREPLACE - TOP (continued) Cutting the Hole After the fireplace has been positioned in its permanent location, the hole through the exterior wall of the house can be cut. This hole must be 10" (254mm) high x 10" (254mm) wide with its center line determined by the amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of the termination. See Figure 26. When locating the hole it must be noted that the bottom of the cap must be 12" (305mm) above the ground level, and top of the cap must be no less than 18" (457mm) below a combustible projection, and no closer than 9" (229mm) to any wall running parallel to vent termination.

    FRAMING AND FINISHING Installing Support Brackets A horizontal pipe support MUST BE used for each 3 feet of horizontal run. The pipe supports should be placed around the pipe and nailed in place to framing members. There MUST BE a 3 inch clearance to combustibles above 6 5/8 inch diameter pipe and elbows and 1 inch clearance on both sides and bottom of 6 5/8 inch pipe to combustibles on all horizontal pipe sections and elbows. Vertical runs of this vent systems must be supported every 4 feet above the appliance flue outlet by wall brackets attached to the 6 5/8 inch vent pipe and secured with nails or screws to structural framing members. Figure 39 Figure 38 Installing Firestops Firestops are required for safety whenever the vent system passes through an interior wall, an exterior wall, or a ceiling. These firestops act as a firebreak heat shield and as a means to insure that minimum clearances are maintained to the vent system. Horizontal Firestops Horizontal runs in the vent system which pass through either interior or exterior walls, require the use of wall firestops on both sides of the wall through which the vent passes. Position the firestops on both sides of the framed hole, previously cut. Refer to Figure 26 on page 20 for sizing information. Secure firestop with nails or screws. The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE placed towards the top of the hole. Continue the vent run through the firestops. Page 26 31509-13-0416...
  • Page 27 FRAMING AND FINISHING (continued) Vertical Firestops Vertical runs of this system which pass through ceilings require the use of ONE ceiling firestop at the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes. Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the vertical vent component and mark the ceiling to establish the center point of the vent. Drill a hole or drive a nail through this center point and check the floor above for any obstructions such as wiring or plumbing runs. Reposition the appliance and vent system, if necessary, to accommodate ceiling joists and/or obstructions. Cut a 10 inch x 10 inch hole through the ceiling, using the center point previously marked. Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists. See Figure 39. If the area above the ceiling is NOT an attic, position and secure the ceiling firestop on the ceiling side of the previously cut and framed hole. See Figure 41. If the area above the ceiling is an attic, position and secure the firestop on top of the previously framed hole. See Figure 41. NOTE: Remove insulation from the framed area in the attic before installing the firestop and/or vent pipes. Figure 42 See Horizontal Termination Page 29 and Vertical Termination Pages 30-31.

  • Page 28: Termination Clearances

    TERMINATION CLEARANCES Termination clearance for buildings with combustible and noncombustible exteriors. Figure 43 Vertical Sidewall Installations Important! Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is 3" (76 mm) on top, and 1" (25 mm) on bottom and sides. Important! When vent termination exits through foundation less than 20" below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must extend outward so that the horizontal vent terminal is located flush to, or beyond the outcrop siding. Information on Various Venting Routes and Components Important: It is always best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length. Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to. The graph showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting will help to determine the various vent lengths allowable. The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace to the face of the outer wall. The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 feet (6.10 m) when the vertical vent rise is 8 feet (2.44 m). See Figure 22. Venting terminals shall not be recessed into wall or siding.

NOTE: Wood screws can and should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for use on stucco, brick, concrete or other types of siding. CAUTION: If exterior walls are finished with vinyl siding (or materials that could become discolored or warp), it is necessary to install a vinyl siding standoff. The vinyl siding standoff will be installed between the vent termination and the exterior wall. See Figure 44. This horizontal vent termination bolts onto the flat portion of the vinyl siding standoff, so an air space will exist between the wall and the termination cap.

    Tools Needed for Installation: Sheet metal snips 5/16” nut driver Phillips head screwdriver - #2 High temperature sealant or furnace cement rated for continuous use at 1,000ºF minimum Measuring tape Parts Verification See parts list on page 35 to verify components included in this vent kit prior to installation. NOTE: If installing onto wood, lap, or vinyl siding, the vinyl siding kit should be used (sold separately, part number DV-822). The vinyl siding vent kit, DV-822, is available from Empire Com- fort Systems, Inc. The depth is 3” (76 mm), which enables the Figure 51 vent cap to be extended away from vinyl siding or projections. The wall depth plus the additional 3” (76 mm) depth of the vinyl siding vent cap extension should not exceed a total depth of 13 3/4” (349 mm). If wall depth exceeds 13 3/4” (349 mm), extend system using 6 5/8” (168 mm) x 4” (102 mm) rigid venting (See Fireplace Instructions for approved lengths). See Figure 52. Installing Wall Thimble/Firestop Assembly 1. Fix fireplace to permanent location. If using rigid venting sys- tem, install up to the location where it will exit the building. 2. Cut hole in wall for wall thimble/firestop assembly (Figure 51) into your combustible wall. Note: On brick or block exterior...

Mark and cut the extra length of the 6 5/8” (168 mm) diameter tube from the opposite end. Do not crimp or enlarge tube. 8. Attach the 4” (102 mm) diameter flue outlet tube onto the rigid venting system or directly to fireplace. Ensure the 4” (102 mm) diameter flue outlet tube is placed as far as pos- sible onto the rigid venting system. Mark the 4” (102 mm) di- ameter flue outlet tube 2 1/2” (64 mm) beyond the vinyl siding kit or wall. See Figure 54. Remove the 4” (102 mm) diameter flue outlet tube from rigid venting system. When installing directly to fireplace, tape gasket needs to be used. 9. Mark or wrap tape completely around the tubes at the marked points to help in making a true cut. Do not crimp or enlarge tubes. 10. From outside: Push the 6 5/8” (168 mm) diameter inlet tube/ mounting plate onto end of rigid venting system to correct position. Fasten the outside mounting plate to the vinyl siding Figure 53 kit or wall with four 10 x 1 1/2” screws. (Ensure upward slope). 11. From inside: Attach the inlet tube to the collar on the back of the fireplace (or the rigid venting system) using three self tap- ping screws. 12. Seal the 4” (102 mm) diameter flue outlet tube. Follow instruc- tions and diagram (Figure 55). 13. Fasten 4” (102 mm) diameter flue outlet tube in place. Do not “twist” the flue outlet tube into the fireplace collar (or rigid venting system). Hold the tube by the seam and push in using a perpendicular “rocking” motion. This ensures the seam on the tube stay intact.
  • Page 35 DVVK-4RE VENT KIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued) Follow correct option according to venting method. Connecting Directly to Fireplace If the air inlet and flue outlet tubes are to be connected directly to the unit (no rigid venting system is being used), then the gasket provided must be used to seal the 4” (102 mm) flue outlet tube. Peel the paper off the self-adhesive gasket and then wrap it around the end of the tube (if tube was cut, it is recommended to use cut end) as shown in Figure 55. Pull the gasket tight at all times while wrapping it around tube. The gasket ends should align, to form a complete seal. The overlapped section should NOT come in contact with the seam in the tube. Apply high tem- perature sealant to the opposite end of the tube (on the inside of the tube). The end with the gasket will attach to the back of the unit. Continue with Step 13.

  • Page 78: Intermittent Pilot Control System Troubleshooting (Fp7 Series)

    INTERMITTENT PILOT CONTROL SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING (FP7 SERIES) Brief Description of the Components The gas valve is fitted with a manual HI/LO knob to allow for manual modulation of the gas outlet pressure to the appliance burner. The controls are designed to be used with either LPG or Natural Gas and can be converted by use of an OEM supplied conversion kit. The Digital Fireplace Control (DFC) is an automatic gas ignition system based on a single microcontroller core. This control man- ages all functions related to ignition, flame sensing and supervi- sion for atmospheric applications. The DFC can be set to provide continuous or intermittent ignition control sequences and flame monitoring with safety shutdown in case of failure. The DFC is set up as a stand alone (AC powered system with battery back up. See Lighting Instructions on page 51 and Wiring Diagram on page 50. Troubleshooting Before proceeding with the procedures in the following trouble- shooting table, verify that the power supply (AC/DC adapter) is present and that the batteries inside the receiver and/or optional battery pack are fresh and installed with correct polarity. Make sure all the connections between the wire harnesses and system components are proper and positive. Verify that the static inlet pressure meets the manufacturer’s rec- ommended inlet pressure. If necessary adjust the line pressure regulator. If the recommended actions for the following troubleshooting chart do not help to address the problem consider replacing wir- ing harnesses. WARNING: Any actions performed on the gas valve must be in accor- dance with this instruction manual.
