NOTICE: Failure to follow these instructions will void
the warranty.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Consult local building codes before beginning installation. Only a
qualified service person should install venting system. The installer
must follow these safety rules:
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection
• Use extreme caution when using ladders or when on roof tops
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings
The following actions will void the warranty on your venting system:
• Installation of any damaged venting component
• Unauthorized modification of the venting system
• Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved
by IHP
• Installation other than as instructed by these instructions
Your IHP stove with B-vent burner system is approved for use with
any listed gas vent. A listed gas vent is a factory made and listed
system designed, and installed exclusively for removing products of
combustion, excess air, and dilution air resulting from burning fuel
gas. Metal vents, the most common type of vent, employ double wall
construction enclosing an insulating air space. This air space both
helps keep flue gases warm and reduce heat transferred to nearby
combustibles. This appliance is equipped with a safety control system
designed to protect against improper venting of combustion products.
It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between
the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust. Certain limitations
apply to vent configurations and must be strictly followed.

VENTING INSTALLATION

WARNING: This gas stove with burner system and
vent assembly must be vented directly to the outside.
The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chim-
ney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
TYPE B-VENT INSTALLATION
(Listed B-0 or Greater)
Before beginning installation be sure that the overall height and gas
vent size conform to building code requirements. Gas vents extending
through pitched roofs can extend a minimum height of at least 600 mm
(2') higher than any obstruction within 3m (10'). Gas vents extending
through flat roofs are required to extend at least 600 mm (2') above the
roof and at least 600 mm (2') higher than any portion of the building
or adjoining building within 3m (10') of the gas vent.
• In absence of local codes, follow Section 7.0 of the current National
Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 and the Natural Gas Installa-
tion Code - vent sizings for Category I systems using double wall
B-1 vent pipe.
• Where the gas vent extends through accessible spaces, it should
be enclosed to avoid personal contact and damage. Enclosure
walls should have a fire rating equal to or greater than the floors
through which the gas vent passes except in single or two-family
dwellings.
• Situate the gas vent in the structure so that it can be installed
without cutting joists, sills, plates, or major load bearing partitions
or members. It is also important to locate the base of the gas vent
as near as possible to the heating appliance.
• This burner system must be properly connected to a venting
system. This burner system is equipped with a vent safety shutoff
system.
• Use only vents labeled "FOR EXTERIOR USE" above the roofline.
• Consult the authority having jurisdiction to select the correct gas
vent diameter. Avoid using a larger than necessary diameter.
