Basement Installation; Floor Protection - Pacific energy B Series 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 combina-
tions 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 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 13)
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
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.

FLOOR PROTECTION

The Mirage direct vent appliance may be installed on a combustible
floor. If the appliance is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile or
other combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance
shall be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the unit.
