Continued
If venting horizontally through a side wall be-
comes necessary, a listed thimble approved
for use with B-type vent must be used. Check
with your local codes before venting through
a side wall.
Some codes areas allow the use of existing
B-type vent systems if the system is at or
above the recommended diameter of the flue,
in this case 6".
The flue connection must be made using
listed B-type connectors and the existing
system must be code inspected for damage
and proper installation.
It is not recommended that this appliance be
common vented with an existing gas burning
appliance. However, if it becomes necessary
to common vent this appliance, the venting
system must be sized and configured in ac-
cordance with the common venting guides
Appendix G of the current National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Note: Before connecting this appliance to an
existing vent system or a common venting
system consult with your local architect, plan-
ner or building official.
WARNING: This appliance
must be properly connected
to a system and must not be
connected to a chimney flue
servicing a separate solid fuel
burning appliance.
