A vent restrictor (provided) may be needed with this appliance. If needed,

VENTING SYSTEM - HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL
With the appliance secured in framing, determine vent routing and identify
the exterior termination location. The following sections describe vertical
(roof) and horizontal (exterior wall) vent applications. Refer to the section
relating to your installation. A list of approved venting components is
shown on Pages 34 & 35.
Vertical (offset) Installation
Analyze the vent routing and determine the number of vent sections and
elbows required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and Tables on Pages 16
& 17 to select the type of vertical installation desired. Refer to the Vent
Section Length Chart on Page 12 for an aid in selecting vent length
combinations. Elbows are available in 45° and 90° configurations.
Refer to Figure 23 for the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional
specifications.
Where required, a Telescopic Vent Section (SV4.5LA) may be used to
provide the installer with an option in installing in tight and confined
spaces or where the vent run made up of fixed length pieces develops a
joint in a undesirable location, or will not build up to the required length.
The SV4.5LA Telescopic Vent Section has an effective length of from 1-
1/2" (38 mm) to 7-1/2" (191 mm). The SV4.5LA is fitted with a locking
inclined channel end (identical to a normal vent section component) and
a plain end with 3 pilot holes. Slip the plain end over the locking chan-
nel end of a standard SV4.5 vent component the required distance and
secure with three screws.
Maintain a minimum " (25 mm) clearance to combustible materi-
als for all vertical elements. Clearances for all horizontal elements
are 3" (76 mm) on top, " (25 mm) on sides and " (25 mm) on the
bottom.
A. Frame ceiling opening - Use a plumb line from the ceiling above the
appliance to locate center of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame an open-
ing, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267 mm x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about
this center mark (Figure 19).
