VENTING INSTALLATION Continued
INSTALLING VENT SYSTEM INTO CHASE
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose venting that
runs along the outside of a building. A chase is not required for such
venting.
NOTICE: Treatment of firestops and construction of
the chase may vary from building type to building
type. These instructions are not substitutes for the
requirements of local building codes. You must follow
all local building codes.
Note: When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as
you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially impor-
tant in cold climates. Minimum clearance between vent pipes and
combustible materials such as insulation is 1".
CHECKING VENT CAPACITY
Complete all gas piping, electrical, and vent connections. After adjust-
ing the burner system and lighting the main burners, allow a couple of
minutes for warm-up. Hold a lighted match just under the rim of the
draft hood relief opening. Proper venting will draw the flame toward or
into the draft hood. Improper venting, indicated by escape or spillage of
burned gas, will cause match to flicker or go out. Smoke from a cigarette
will also be pulled into the draft hood if the vent is drawing properly.
