CLEARANCE

Security Models DCL, DIS PRO and DAS PRO are primarily intended to be used in a
non-combustible surrounding. Only Model DIS PRO and DAS PRO can be used for either
combustible or non-combustible surroundings. When installed in an open room where
enclosure is not required, the chimney may be located at a minimum clearance to
adjacent combustible walls in accordance with Table 1. The chimney may be located
in corners formed by two combustible constructions (walls, floor, ceiling, supports, etc.)
NOTE: The clearance distance with the wall is the distance between the wall and the
Inner V-Band (for Model DCL) or the Outer Band BSE (for Model DIS Pro and DAS Pro).
See Figure 1 for the clearance distance.
For non combustibles construction, maintain clearance as required for installation access
for inspection or per local code. In buildings more than one story in height and in one-story
buildings where the roof-ceiling assembly is required to have a fire resistance rating, the
duct must be enclosed in a continuous enclosure from the lowest fire-rated ceiling or
floor, through any concealed spaces, to or through the roof to maintain the integrity of the
fire separations required by the applicable building code provisions. If the building is less
than 4 stories in height, the enclosure shall have a fire resistance rating of not less than 1
hour. If the building is 4 stories or more in height, the enclosure shall have a fire resistance
rating not less than 2 hours.
Security Models DCL, DIS PRO and DAS PRO chimneys may penetrate a combustible
floor, wall, or roof using the appropriate parts and openings sizes. See section D "Roof
& Wall Penetration" for more details.
NOTE: Do not enclose with combustible materials
In the case of a fire rated enclosure made of non-combustible or limited combustible
construction, the minimum clearance with the Model DCL must be 6" or as required by
local code.

OPENING THROUGH CONSTRUCTION

The following table serves to identify the minimum opening required when installing a
chimney through a floor, wall or roof made of combustible material. See Table 2 and

SYSTEM SIZING

Complete system sizing and capacity information maybe obtained from the "Chimney,
Gas Vent, and Fireplace Systems" chapter of the ASHRAE Handbook (go to www.ashrae.
org for more information). In spite of these general sizing guidelines, it is most important
that the heating appliance, engine or turbine manufacturer's installation instructions
are followed. Not following the equipment manufacturer's instructions may result in
inadequate chimney performance and/or a violation of the equipment manufacturer's
Installation requirements.
