Venting - Valor G3 Installation Manual

Venting

Vent Location
The vent terminal must be located through the roof. This gravity
vent appliance is designed to operate when an undisturbed
airflow hits the outside vent terminal from any direction.
Check local codes for allowable vertical vent termination.
Vent Materials
Use a 3" diameter aluminum flex liner approved for gas venting
when installed as an insert (existing chimney). Use a 4" diameter
type "B" vent when installed with a 770ZCK Zero Clearance Kit
(see separate instructions packaged with the kit for details).
Venting Notes
Where possible, avoid joining flex pipes. If joints are required, use
a approved connector and seal joints with RTV high temp sealant.
Horizontal offsets are permissible to allow for routing around
masonry projections. Avoid bending flex pipe over a 45 degrees
radius where possible.
