DESCRIPTION
The SS1 is a mechanical vent system designed and listed for use with natural draft oil or gas heating equipment. It is factory
assembled and wired. The SS1 automatically vents the flue gases from heating equipment to the outdoors. By combining outside
air with high-tech insulation, surrounding combustible materials and the Vent Hood exterior remain at safe temperatures. After
each burner cycle the SS1 will continue to operate in post-purge mode to purge the heater and vent of residual flue gases. A fac-
tory post-purge time is set at 2 minutes and is adjustable up 16 minutes, see “Pre / Post-purge Settings” on page 5. The SS1 fea-
tures a safety system consisting of the integral UC1 Universal Control, a Fan Proving Switch and a High Limit temperature control.
These devices monitor the SS1’s performance and will interrupt the main burner if a venting malfunction is detected.
APPLICATION TABLE
Verify that the total BTU/hr. input of the heating appliance(s) fall within the proper category listed below. All BTU/hr. capacity
ranges are based on a maximum of 50 equivalent feet. To determine equivalent feet, add the total length of straight vent pipe plus
10 feet for each 90 degree elbow and 5 feet for each 45 degree elbow. Vent runs of over 15 linear feet should use an approved,
insulated vent connector to prevent problems related to sulfur condensation.
