Venting Introduction
The Horizontal Termination Kit and other approved
venting systems as per table on next page, in
combination with the Direct Vent Freestanding
Gas Stoves - RC500E, has been tested and listed
as direct vent heater systems by Intertek.
These units use the "balanced flue" technology
Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer pipe
draws outside combustion air into the combustion
chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated
room air for combustion and losing warm room air
up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be
connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented
directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid
fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system.
Common vent systems are prohibited.
IMPORTANT
Read all instructions carefully before starting the
installation. Failure to follow these instructions may
create a fire or other safety hazard, and will void
the warranty. Be sure to check the venting and
clearance to combustible requirements. Consult your
local building codes before beginning installation.
The location of the termination cap must conform
to the requirements in the "Exterior Vent Terminal
Locations" section.
Reversible Flue Collar
The flue collar is reversible to change the unit from rear vent to top vent. Follow the steps below.
1. Remove the small centre cast piece and set
aside on a soft surface.
Installation Precautions
These venting systems are engineered products
that have been designed and tested for use with
the RC500E. The warranty will be voided and seri-
ous fire, health or other safety hazards may result
from any of the following actions:
1. Installation of any damaged Direct Vent com-
ponent.
2. Unauthorized modification of the Direct Vent
System.
3. Installation other than as instructed by Simpson
Dura-Vent and FPI Fireplace Products Interna-
tional Ltd.
Warning: Always maintain required
clearances (air spaces) to nearby
combustibles to prevent a fire
hazard. Do not fill air spaces with
insulation.
Be sure to check the vent termination clearance
requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas
regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways as
specified in the "Exterior Vent Terminal Locations"
section and in your local building codes.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving
a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appli-
ance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use its
own separate vent system. Common vent systems
are prohibited.
2. Remove 4 screws securing flue collar and turn
flue collar 180°.
Note: Replace the flue gasket if required at this
point.
