Vertical Termination

A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 8' (.44
m) and no more than 40' (1 m) above the appliance flue
collar. A restrictor plate (supplied) must be used, where
specified, in all vertically terminated vent systems. (Refer
to Figure 8) NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied with
the vertical termination should be discarded. Adjust
the restrictor plate according to recommendations in
Figure 10. A vertically terminated vent system must also
conform to the following criteria:
•
No more than three 90° elbows may be used.
•
Two 45° elbows may be substituted for one 90° elbow.
No more than six 45° elbows may be used.

Restrictor Plate Adjustment
for Extended Pipe Runs
The Radiance stove is shipped with a restrictor plate in
the Parts Bag. Adjustments can be made by loosening the
adjustment screw to allow the restrictor plate to slide up or
down. (Fig. 9) A guide for usage is shown in Figure 10.
NOTE: Some installations may require some adjustment
by the installer for optimum flame appearance. Optimum
flame appearance is a flame that is not subject to tall, dirty
yellow flames producing soot or flames lifting off of the
ember bed ports.
