INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: This device must be installed by a qualifi ed installer in accordance with the manufacturer's
installation instructions and applicable codes.
1. Plan the vent system layout to avoid the possibility of accidental contact with concealed wiring or
plumbing inside of wall.
2. Single wall vent pipe may be used to join an appliance to the power venter, but if proper clearance
cannot be maintained from combustible material or when passing through a side wall, Class B type vent
pipe should be used for gas appliances and Class L type vent pipe for oil appliances.
3. The power venter should be installed as close to the termination of the vent system as possible to reduce
eff ects of wind, and outlet blockage, and to guard against fl ue gas leakage. Vent pipe must be sealed on
the positive pressure side of the venter. Pipe joints and seams should be sealed with a high temperature
silicone adhesive sealant or equivalent. Test vent connections for leaks by using a soap solution as
recommended by the National Fuel Gas Code: ANSI Z223.1, Section 4.11.
4. Vent hood inlet diameter should never be smaller than the installed vent pipe.
INSTALLATION
1. Use inside wall end plate as a template to mark hole location. Cut hole
facilitate easy installation.
2. Install vent hood through opening from outside. Fasten the vent hood to the outside wall with appropriate
type mounting screws.
3. Fasten wall end plate to the inside wall with appropriate type mounting screws.
4. Install a properly sized vent pipe section into inner pipe of the vent hood. Seal the connection and all
other vent pipe joints on the pressure side of the Power Venter with a high temperature silicone adhesive
sealant or equivalent. Fasten vent pipe connection with three sheet metal screws or with other appropriate
type mounting screws.
MAINTENANCE
The vent system should be inspected regularly at 3-month intervals.
