DESIGN AND INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR -VENTS

When selecting a location for your B-Vent appliance, it is important to evaluate a number of considerations. Modern

construction techniques can create conditions that may not allow your vent to draft properly. This may result in spillage

from your B-Vent appliance, as well as cause other combustion appliances to operate incorrectly.

Tightly sealed construction is important for energy efficiency. Unfortunately, a great deal of effort has been directed to

tightening up sidewall construction, while considerably less attention has been paid to tightening upper portions of the

warm air envelope (insulated ceilings). This has increased the Stack Effect, a condition that increases the negative

pressure generated by the structure. This negative pressure will directly affect the drafting performance of a B-Vent

appliance vent. To minimize the negative pressure generated by stack effect, make certain that all duct work installed in

the attic spaces is sealed airtight. Minimize the number of recessed light fixtures installed in the insulated ceiling and use

sealed recessed light fixtures. inally, make certain the whole house fans and attic access panels are tightly sealed.

These are important design considerations that must be observed during the design and construction stage of the home.

If you desire to put an appliance in your basement, we recommend that you consider a direct vent gas appliance. Basements

always have a significant negative air pressure that causes the B-Vent system to be more susceptible to spillage and cold

flue back drafting. Since direct vent gas appliances are sealed, they are not affected by the negative pressure that exists

in basements.

inally, a B-Vent appliance performs best when the vent (roof termination) is located on the upper half of the roof, especially

when cathedral ceilings are present. Vents that are located on the lower half of the roof realize what is known as lazy flue

and will not draft as well as a vent that is located in the upper portion of the roof. The reason for this is that the stack effect

generated by the overall height of the living spaces inside the house will exceed the draft generated by the vent system.

If you desire to place an appliance in a location where the termination cap would be located on the lower half of a roof;

such as on an outside wall at the base of a cathedral ceiling, we recommend that you consider using a direct vent gas

appliance. This will ensure an appliance that operates correctly.

These properties do not affect just your B-Vent appliance. They can cause any woodburning fireplace as well as any

conventionally vented (B-Vent) gas appliance to operate improperly. Careful planning at this stage of your project will

ensure satisfaction with the operation of your appliance once it is completed.

installation may vary slightly due to individual design prefer-

ences. However, minimum and maximum clearances must

be maintained at all times.

The illustrations and diagrams used throughout these in-

stallation instructions are not drawn to scale.

The G136 Series is a vented gas appliance. While a significant amount of heat is created by the G136, it is not intended

to be and should not be used as a heater.

Typical Vertical Installations

We strongly recommend that you DO NOT install B-

Vent Gas Appliances in strong negative air locations,

such as a basement or a public facility. Living rooms

with cathedral ceilings could be susceptible to a

negative air situation, but such installations can be

overcome through raising the termination,

depending on specific installations. This appliance

uses room air for normal operation and could have

problems establishing a positive draft in a negative

air location. In lieu, we recommend a Direct Vent Gas

Appliance.
