INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Consult local building codes before beginning
installation. Only a qualified service person
should install venting system. The installer
must follow these safety rules:
• Wear gloves and safety glasses for
protection
• Use extreme caution when using ladders
or when on roof tops
• Be aware of electrical wiring locations in
walls and ceilings
The following actions will void the warranty
on your venting system:
• Installation of any damaged venting com
-
ponent
• Unauthorized modification of the venting
system
• Installation of any component part not
manufactured or approved by FMI PROD-
UCTS, LLC
• Installation other than as instructed by
these instructions
Your FMI PRODUCTS, LLC stove with B-vent
burner system is approved for use with any
listed gas vent. A listed gas vent is a fac-
tory made and listed system designed, and
installed exclusively for removing products
of combustion, excess air, and dilution air
resulting from burning fuel gas. Metal vents,
the most common type of vent, employ double
wall construction enclosing an insulating air
space. This air space both helps keep flue
gases warm and reduce heat transferred
to nearby combustibles. This appliance is
equipped with a safety control system de-
signed to protect against improper venting of
combustion products.
It is very important that the venting system
maintain its balance between the combustion
air intake and the flue gas exhaust. Certain
limitations apply to vent configurations and
must be strictly followed.
WARNING: This gas stove
with burner system and vent as
-
sembly must be vented directly
to the outside. The venting sys
-
tem must NEVER be attached to a
chimney serving a separate solid
fuel burning appliance.
TYPE B-VENT INSTALLATION
(
Listed B-0 or Greater)
Before beginning installation be sure that the
overall height and gas vent size conform to
building code requirements. Gas vents ex-
tending through pitched roofs can extend a
minimum height of at least 600 mm (2') higher
than any obstruction within 3m (10'). Gas vents
extending through flat roofs are required to
extend at least 600 mm (2') above the roof and
at least 600 mm (2') higher than any portion
of the building or adjoining building within 3m
(10') of the gas vent.
• In absence of local codes, follow Section
7.0 of the current
National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1
and the
Natural
Gas Installation Code
- vent sizings for
Category I systems using double wall B-1
vent pipe.
• Where the gas vent extends through acces
-
sible spaces, it should be enclosed to avoid
personal contact and damage. Enclosure
walls should have a fire rating equal to or
greater than the floors through which the
gas vent passes except in single or two-
family dwellings.
• Situate the gas vent in the structure so that
it can be installed without cutting joists, sills,
plates, or major load bearing partitions or
members. It is also important to locate the
base of the gas vent as near as possible
to the heating appliance.
