INSTALLATION VENTING INTRODUCTION INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS The following vent systems in combination with the Tara Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove, have been tested and listed as direct vent heater systems by Warnock Hersey: These venting systems are engineered products that have been designed and tested for use with the Tara.
H= Not to be installed above a meter/regulator assembly within (3'/90cm) horizontally from the centerline of the regulator. J= Clearance to service regulator vent outlet *(min. 36"/90cm) K= Clearance to non-mechanical air supply inlet to building or the combustion air inlet to any other appliance *(12"/30cm) #(9"/23cm) L= Clearance to a mechanical air supply inlet *(min. 72"/1.8m) #3' (91cm) above if within 10' (3m) horizontally.
INSTALLATION RESIDENTIAL AND MANUFACTURED HOMES / MOBILE HOMES MINIUMUM HORIZONTAL TERMINATION INSTALLATIONS Planning Your venting Installation See page 9 for Exterior Vent Termination requirements. The T25 is approved for a minimum horizontal termination with the Regency Riser Vent Kit. See the diagram for minimum and maximum pipe lengths. You will require the following components with your new Regency Rear Vent Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove.
INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS 1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs are in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the unit. 2) Assemble the desired combination of pipe and elbow to the appliance adapter with pipe seams oriented down. Offset the pipe seams as double seams in one place will cause the outer pipe to take an oval shape. Kit comes complete with 18" of straight vent - 6-5/8" dia.
INSTALLATION c) Before connecting the vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the black decorative wall thimble cover over the vent pipe, then slide the Wall Penetration Heat Shield (Part # 946-202) over the vent pipe. Dia. 3. d) Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into the riser vent terminal assembly.
INSTALLATION DV STOVE HORIZONTAL VENT KIT DV Stove Horizontal Vent Kit (2 ft. Part # 946-116 or 4 ft. Part # 946-216) includes all the parts needed to install the U29-2 or U45-3 with minimum horizontal and vertical vent dimensions. For installations that require longer vertical and/or horizontal vents use the Dura-Vent system as shown on page 18. Qty. Description 1 Rigid Pipe Section (Kit # 946-116: 2 ft. (1.2m) length, Kit # 946-216: 4 ft. (1.
INSTALLATION 14) Secure the 4" dia. flex liner with adapter onto the stove collar. Put a bead of Mill-Pac around the appliance adapter and secure with 3 screws (#8 x 1/2, stainless steel). 15) Attach the 45o elbow onto the starter collar by sealing with Mill-Pac and/or high temperature silicone and securing with 3 of the #8 x 1/2" (black) screws. 16) Attach the pipe section to the 45o elbow by sealing with Mill-Pac and/or high temperature silicone and securing with 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws (black).
INSTALLATION from the rear of the unit to the wall. It is also important to note the wall thickness. (The wall thimble is suitable for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall construction.) Select the amount of vertical rise desired for "vertical-to-horizontal" type installations. ments from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways as specified in the Exterior Vent Terminal Locations on page 9 and in your local building codes.
INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING COMPONENTS LIST All Simpson Dura-Vent components are available directly from FPI.
INSTALLATION RIGID PIPE VENTING HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS The shaded area in the diagram below shows all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations. Maximum one 90O elbow (two 45 o elbows equal one 90o elbow) using Dura-Vent Venting Systems Residential and Manufactured Homes / Mobile Homes Installations The venting arrangements diagrammed below, have a minimum of 75% (flue loss) efficiency with Fan Off, as required for manufactured homes. (Actual efficiency may be as high as 85%.
INSTALLATION VENT RESTRICTOR The above Offset to Vertical Installation requires more restriction, the Vent Restrictor must be set to 5/8" (16mm). The Vent Restrictor on the stove comes preset with a 7/8" (22mm) opening. The Vent Restrictor is located inside the firebox over the flue outlet. To adjust the restrictor simply use a large phillips screwdriver to loosen the 2 retaining screws and slide the restrictor up to a 5/8" gap. Tighten the screws to secure it in position.
INSTALLATION Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe. Bend any remaining portion of the sheet metal strip back towards the vent cap, so it will be concealed by the decorative wall thimble cover. See diagram 3. 6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
INSTALLATION b) Any occupied areas above the first floor, including closets and storage spaces, through which the vertical vent passes, must be enclosed. Support Extensions - Round (RDSE) or Square (SQSE) Steep pitched cathedral ceilings may require the use of a support extension. This piece fits down inside the support and can be adjusted to increase the support's length by up to 22". The extension is attached to the support using the eight metal screws provided.
INSTALLATION The direct vent system must not be connected to a damaged factory-built or masonry chimney. For factory built, zero clearance, and masonry chimneys cleanout doors and caps or plugs for cleanout tee fittings and ash dumps shall be secured in place and sealed before installing a Direct Vent system within the chimney. If the appliance shuts off during operation, contact a qualified service person to determine if a negative pressure and/or leaky chimney condition exists.
INSTALLATION HIGH ELEVATION This unit is approved in Canada for altitude to 4500 ft. (CAN/CGA-2.17-M91) with the resized orifice. For Natural Gas installations above 4500 ft. follow current CAN/CGA-B149.1. In U.S.A., for installations above 2000 ft. refer to current ANSI Z223.1 Sc8-8.1.2a appendix F, for resizing orifice. System Data - TARA T25 Diagram 9 Diagram 7 4) To determine the length of flex required, measure from 3" (76mm) above the top of the Flashing down to the level of the opening.
INSTALLATION GAS CONNECTION The gas connection is a 3/8" NPT 90o elbow. The gas line can be rigid pipe or to make installation easier, use a listed flexible connector and/or copper tubing if allowed by local codes. Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult with your local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation codes.
INSTALLATION NOTE: If the conversion to Propane is being made at the time of installation, the valve may be removed to make it more accessible. 7) Pull off the pilot cap to expose the pilot orifice. the stove's rear heat shield to indicate that the unit has been converted to burn propane. 16) Check for gas leaks. 1) Shut off the gas supply. 17) Check inlet and outlet pressures. 2) Remove the Cast Iron Front Panel. Hold the cast iron front panel at the bottom and lift upwards and out from the stove.
INSTALLATION AERATION ADJUSTMENT The burner aeration is factory set but may need adjusting due to either the local gas supply, air supply or altitude. The flames should not extend to the top of the firebox and excessive soot should not be present. The air shutter and the flue restrictor setting will both affect the flame pattern. Natural Gas: Propane: 1/4" (7mm) open wide open 1) Remove the Front Cast Iron Panel and Glass Panel, see instructions on page 26. 2) Remove the complete log set.
