1.0 Introduction

1.1 General Information

The Kozy Power Vent System, #KPV, is certified for use as
a horizontal termination cap only for use with the ALP-
36S, BHM-38, BHM-44, BHM-52, CLW-40, CLW-50, CLW-
72, CLW-ST, and NDK-41-DV direct vent fireplaces.
The Kozy Power Vent System only works with the ap-
proved appliances listed above utilizing the S.I.T. control
system.
Control system information:
•
The battery-backup feature cannot be used with
#KPV

#KPV
The following vent pipe manufacturers are approved for
use with the Kozy Power Vent:
American Metal Products (Ameri-Vent), BDM, ICC, Metal
Fab, Olympia Chimney Supply, Inc., Selkirk, and Simpson
DuraVent.
IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL NOTE: When the control be-
ing used to run the fireplace is activated, there will be up
to a 120 second delay before pilot ignition will begin. This
is to allow a pre-ignition purge by the #KPV. If after 135
seconds the pilot and burner do not light, refer to Section
6.0 on page 21 of this manual. There will be also 120 sec-
ond post-operation purge in which #KPV will continue to
run after the appliance is turned off.

Safety inspection of the venting system should be per-
formed before and after installation of this power vent.
Installation of the Kozy Power Vent must comply with
local, regional, provincial, state, and national codes and
regulations.
DO NOT INSTALL DAMAGED EQUIPMENT OR VENT COM-
PONENTS
Disconnect electrical power supply before making wiring
connections.
Venting of more than one appliance in a common vent
system is prohibited.
Clearances between the vent pipe and combustible mate-
rials must be maintained.
NOTE: The fan motor present in this power vent will gen-
erate sound during operation. The effects of the increased
sound level can be minimized with careful planning during
installation of the system.
The exit termination of mechanical draft systems shall not
be less than seven feet above grade when located adja-
cent to public walkways.
A mechanical drafting venting system shall terminate at
least three feet above any forced air inlet located within
10 feet.
The #KPV operates on 120VAC, 60Hz electrical service
which is supplied at the fireplace junction box. The cur-
rent draw of this device is 0.85 amperes.
Prior to painting the #KPV cover assembly, sand the ex-
isting coating with sandpaper or steel wool.
The front of the cap cover assembly may be field-painted
and cured up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204° C). All re-
maining parts of the cap may be painted, but they may
not be cured beyond 190°F (88°C) due to gaskets and
components overheating.
Certain areas of the cap surface may reach up to 600° F
(316°C). Paints selected should have sufficient tempera-
ture ratings.
Cap cover assembly contains silicone sealant which could
affect adherence of paint. Please advise local painter of
silicone content.
