Tjernlund HST_HS115_HSUL-JC, 1C, 2C Canadian Series (Discontinued) 8504017 Rev 1 09/97 - Manual (Page 5)

INSTALLATION
VENT SYSTEM TERMINATION
Before installing Power Venter determine location of vent system termination.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• Saber Saw or Cement Drill • Drill • 1/8” and 1/4” Drill Bits
• Wood or Masonry Chisel • Blade Screwdriver or 1/4” Nut Driver • Wire Cutter/Stripper
NOTE: Termination of a Side Wall Vent System with a device other than the Tjernlund VH1 Series Vent Hood could affect system
performance and result in a possible safety hazard. Consult Vent Hood instructions for complete installation details.
If possible, locate the Vent Hood on a wall that does not face the direction of prevailing winds. This will diminish the possi-
bility of appliance interruption during periods of extreme winds and prevent oil odors caused by backdrafts.
If possible, locate the Vent Hood no closer than 3 feet from an inside corner of an L-shaped structure.

For oil installations do not terminate HS-Series Power Venters on vinyl siding because temperatures can easily exceed 66 0 C.
(150 0 F.). The SideShot® is the only Tjernlund Power Venter recommended for termination on vinyl siding when using oil.
