5. Use Listed firestops for floor and ceiling penetrations.
Use Listed thimble for wall penetrations. Use a Listed
roof flashing, roof jack, or roof thimble for all roof pen-
etrations. Do not fill the space around the vent (that is,
the clear air space in the thimble or firestop) with
insulation. The roof opening must be located so that
the vent is vertical.
6. Do not run the heater vent into a common vent with
any other appliance.
7. Fire Hazard. Do not vent the heater
directly into a masonry chimney. Installation into a
masonry chimney must use a chimney liner and must
meet the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes requirements and all local code
requirements.
HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL VENTING -
POSITIVE PRESSURE (See Figure 13)
Vent the heater either horizontally or vertically using one
of the 4-inch Special Gas Vent Pipes listed on Page 14
(Table 5). Install the vent pipe in accordance with local
codes and the provisions of the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 (U.S.), or the standards CSA B149.1, Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Codes (Canada), and the vent
manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use a draft hood with
this heater. Use one of the special gas vents specified in
Table 5 (Page 14) for positive-pressure venting of this
heater – do not use any other vent with it. Install the vent
according to the vent manufacturer’s detailed instructions.
Maintain clearance between the vent pipe and combustible
surfaces according to the vent manufacturer’s instructions
and code requirements. Do not place any insulating mate-
rials around the vent or inside the required clear air space
surrounding the vent. See Table 6 (Page 15) for maximum
permissable vent lengths. See Table 7 (Page 15) for Listed
vent components.
CONNECTING SPECIAL GAS
VENT TO THE HEATER
Metallic:
1. Order an Appliance Adapter kit:
Sta-Rite Part No. 77707-0086 for Saf-T Vent
®
or Saf-T Vent
®
CI.
Sta-Rite Part No. 77707-0087 for Z-Vent.
2. Remove the outside vent cover.
3. Install the Appliance Adapter in the Vent Body of the
heater (located under the outside Vent Cover). Before
connecting the Appliance Adapter to the Vent Body,
wet a clean cloth or paper towel with isopropyl alco-
hol (rubbing alcohol) and vigorously wipe the socket
of the Vent Body. Immediately wipe the cleaned sur-
faces dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. Repeat for
the exterior of the heater end of the Appliance Adapter.
Attach the appliance adapter to the vent body using
the adhesive specified by the vent manufacturer, fol-
lowing the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if adapter
is improperly attached. Mechanical connections (such as
screws) can cause cracking and leaks in the adapter. Do
not drill holes or use screws to connect the appliance
adapter to the heater vent body. Attach with manufacturer’s
specified adhesive.
