Vertical Venting in Cold Climates
In cold climate conditions where temperatures go
below -10 degrees Celsius or 14 degrees
Fahrenheit, we recommend that the chase be insu-
lated and where the vent pipe enters into the attic
space that the pipe be wrapped with an insulated
mylar sleeve. This will increase the temperature of
the vent and help the appliance to vent properly in
cold weather conditions.
It is also important in vertical vented direct vent
appliances that the appliance be operated daily dur-
ing the winter months as this will help stop the
Termination from freezing up. We recommend
using a thermostat set at room temperature to allow
the unit to cycle.
