VERTICAL INTERIOR INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Vertical exterior installation is not recommended due to excessive
condensation.
NOTE:
Bixby recommends not installing a venting system in a pipe chase or
permanent wall structure (other than to exit the room using the Wall
Thimble). Vent pipe should be accessible for annual inspection and
maintenance. Bixby is not responsible for damages to pipe chases,
or other wall structure resulting from vent failures.
The flue exit is on the back of the Room Heater and if vertical interior installation
is desired:
1.
Place the Room Heater according to the installation instructions. See Figure
7 for vent locations.
2.
Connect a Starter Collar to the back of the Room Heater using three screws.
See Figure 11.
3.
Insert an Elbow through the Stater Collar, into the back of the Room Heater.
Align and push together until snapped into locked position. See Figure 11.
4.
The outer pipe sections should not have a visable gap. See Figure 10.
5.
Drop a plumb bob to the center of the Elbow connected to the Room Heater
flue outlet and mark center point on the ceiling, cut and frame a 10 in. x
10 in. (25cm x 25cm) square hole in the ceiling for the Ceiling Support
Firestop. See Figure 12.
6.
Connect the vertical pipe to the elbow attached to the Room Heater: Attach
each section of pipe by pushing male and female ends of pipe together until
pipe is in locked position. See General Vent Installation Instructions, page
14.
7.
Install Wall Straps every four (4) feet in both vertical and horizontal vent
runs (required). See Figure 13.
8.
When the pipe passes through the Firestop/Support at ceiling, attach the
vertical pipe support around pipe and let it rest on the topside of the Firestop/
Support. If desired, a Decorative Collar can be installed over the Firestop/
Support for a finished look.
9.
After lining up for hole in roof, use same method as above and cut either a
round or square hole in the roof. Always cut the hole at least 4 in. (10cm)
larger than the diameter of the pipe. Install the upper edge and sides of
Flashing under the roofing materials and nail to the roof along the upper
edge. Do not nail the lower edge. The Vent Cap must extend a minimum
of 36 in. (91cm) above the roof. Also, the Vent Cap must be 24 in. (64cm)
higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10 ft. (3m)
of the chimney, measured horizontally. See Figure 13.
10.
Seal all nail heads with high-temperature waterproof sealant. To finish,
apply high-temperature waterproof sealant where the Storm Collar will
meet the vent and Roof Flashing; slide Storm Collar down until it sets on
the Roof Flashing, tighten the bolt on the Storm Collar, put the Vent Cap on
and push to lock. See Figure 14.
