VERIFY POWER VENTER MODEL SELECTION USING TABLES ON PAGE 1.

CODE REQUIREMENTS

The Power Venter installation must be done in accordance with the following requirements of the latest Edition of the Natural Gas
Installation Code CAN/CGA-B149.1-M95.

• All portions of the vent system under positive pressure during operation (on the outlet side of Power Venter) shall be designed and

installed so as to prevent leakage of flue or vent gases into the building,

• All appliances must enter the vent system on the inlet side of the Power Venter,

• Provision shall be made to interlock the appliance(s) to prevent the flow of gas to the main burners when the draft system is not

performing so as to satisfy the operating requirements of the equipment for safe performance. See “Electrical Wiring” section of
this manual for details.

INSTALLATION RESTRICTIONS

1. Power Venter must be installed as close as possible to the termination of the vent system to obtain

optimal appliance efficiency and to prevent flue gas leakage, (See Diagram A).

2. The Power Venter may be mounted in any position as long as the shaft of the motor remains

horizontal, to prevent motor bearing wear and to ensure proper Fan Proving Switch operation,
(See Diagram B).

3. The Power Venter housing is single wall. A 15.2CM (6”) clearance to

combustibles must be maintained for gas and 45.7 CM (18”) clear-
ance for oil applications, (See Diagram C).

NOTE: Clearance to combustibles may be reduced. Please refer to

your local code authority.
