Page 7: Venting Configurations
VENTING CONFIGURATIONS VENT PIPE Consult fireplace manual for approved vent pipe size and type. For all installations rigid, coaxial vent pipe is required. VENT RUN CHART ATTENTION: Vent pipe clearances to combustible material must be maintained to 3” above vent pipe and 1” on sides and bottom. -
Page 8: Riser
Minimum clearances to the vent terminal must be maintained as shown below. Measure clearances to the nearest edge of termination hood. NOTE: Local codes or regulations may require different clearances. NOTE: For flat roof installations, check local codes for elevated platform dimensional requirements. RISER A site fabricated riser or standoff must be built to elevate this power vent from any surface where water or snow could accumulate at the power vents base if not using supplied riser. - Page 9 Use weather sealant between the power vent and upper riser plate and the riser as necessary to prevent moisture from entering the power vent unit and building. Flash according to local codes. When attaching venting to the power vent insure that the vent tube overlaps the power vent tubing at least 1 ½” so that the vent can be secured with screws.

To connect the power vent to the fireplace, follow these steps. Remove the junction box cover plate from the side of the fireplace. - Page 12 At the other end, the power vent wire must be wired to the power vent blower housing. The power vent has an electrical connector block mounted internally. The wiring must be connected to this block. Remove the 4 hex screws holding the top cover in place and remove the cover. 9.
- Page 13 10. Run the electrical supply wire from the fireplace up through the bottom of the power vent and to the connector block inside the power vent assembly. Connect wires as shown and tighten the strain relief. Insure that the switch located beside the terminal block is toggled to high “HI”.

The pressure switch and silicone hose are in the same box as these instructions. The power vent harness is the yellow harness with red quick connect connectors in the fireplace manual box.
- Page 18 2. Locate the end of the power vent wire harness with two female connectors. Connect this end of the power vent wire to the two silver terminals on the pressure switch marked “NO” and “COM”. These can be connected in either order it does not make a difference. Take the silicone hose and attach it to the hose barb on the pressure switch marked “L”.
- Page 19 The pressure switch will be installed in the fireplace near the control module. The pressure switch must be installed vertically. The photos in the instructions show the pressure switch being placed in a ML series fireplace. For all fireplaces the presser switch can be placed next to the control module in a similar way.
- Page 20 (ML-Series fireplaces) Route the silicone hose through the rear cutout of the fireplace. The cutout is located near the center of the fireplace at the bottom on the backside. The silicone hose can be routed from this hole to the pressure switch. (FV-Series fireplaces) Route the silicone hose through the cut out in the access panel where the gas line is connected.
