The Field Direct Vent System (FDVS) is a non-powered positive pressure side wall vent termination system for use only  
with specifically listed oil fired appliances. The system provides an outlet for exhaust gases and an intake for combustion  
air in a single concentric terminal. The FDVS termination is designed to direct the hot exhaust gases away from the  
structure using the static pressure generated by a special oil burner. All of the internal parts in contact with the flue gases  
are made from corrosion resistant 316L stainless steel. The FDVS, with its built-in combustion air tee, allows connecting  
standard galvanized pipe from the FDVS termination to the air intake of a special oil burner or by use of a Field Controls  
Airboot, depending on the model of the oil burner.

INSTALLATION OF THE VENT TERMINATION COMBUSTION AIR TEE  
1. Assemble the combustion air tee assembly body to the vent  
termination outer pipe, and rotate to the desired position. Attach the  
tee assembly body to the vent termination outer pipe with at least 3  
sheet metal screws evenly spaced apart (not included).  
2. After completing assembly of the vent pipe to the termination inner  
pipe (Fig. 4), apply the supplied high temperature sealant to the  
cover pan around the inner pipe, around the joint between the collar  
and the Tee assembly, and seal or tape the joint from the FDVS  
Termination to the Tee assembly.  
NOTE: The tee may be rotated into any position so that the collar is in a  
convenient orientation.  
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES: FDVS Termination: 0", FOVP  
Flexible Oil Vent Pipe: 1". These clearances are to maintained unless  
superceded by the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions or by  
National and/or local codes (see Step 3).  
Figure 3 – Top View  
CONNECTING THE VENT PIPE FROM THE FDVS TO THE APPLIANCE  
1. The venting system should be installed and supported in accordance with the latest version in the USA of the National Fuel Gas  
Code ANSI Z223.1, UL-726, National Fire Protection Association NFPA31, and in Canada CSA B140, CSA B139 Installation Code  
or in accordance with any other local codes or the authority having jurisdiction. Where requirements for venting differ the most  
stringent standard requirements shall apply. A vent pipe connector, designed for positive pressure venting, shall be supported for  
the design and weight of the material employed, to maintain clearances, prevent physical damage and separation of joints. All joints  
MUST be sealed, for positive vent pressure, to prevent flue gas leakage into the structure.  
2. Route the vent pipe from the appliance to the vent termination using the minimum number of bends as possible. The last horizontal  
section of the vent pipe should have a slight downward slope from the appliance to the vent termination. For clearances to  
combustible materials and other installation requirements, refer to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1, UL-726, NFPA31,  
CSA B140, CSA B139 and/or any applicable local codes or appliance manufacturer's installation instructions.  
3. Refer to the appliance manufacturer’s specifications for maximum length of vent pipe run. Unless otherwise specified by the  
appliance manufacturer, use the same size diameter pipe as the exhaust outlet on the appliance to connect to the vent termination  
inlet. Use a reducer or increaser, if necessary, at the vent termination to connect the vent pipe.  
4. Support the Flexible Oil Vent Pipe (FOVP) at regular intervals of maximum 36" spacing with appropriate strapping or hangers, per  
National and local code requirements. Do not install screws into or otherwise penetrate any part of the vent pipe under any  
circumstances.  
CONNECTING THE COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE PIPE FROM THE FDVS TO THE APPLIANCE  
1. Refer to the appliance manufacturer’s specifications for maximum run length of combustion air intake pipe. Unless otherwise  
specified by the appliance manufacturer, use the same size diameter pipe from the FDVS terminal combustion air tee collar to the  
appliance oil burner combustion air inlet (or Air boot, if applicable.) Use a reducer or increaser, if necessary at the burner  
combustion air inlet to connect the combustion air intake pipe.  
2. The VRV should be installed close to the air inlet of the burner. To install the VRV, refer to the Installation Instructions included with  
the VRV.  
GENERAL INSTALLATION INSPECTION  
Recommended procedures for safety inspection of an appliance should be in accordance with the latest version of the National Fuel  
Gas Code ANSI Z 223.1, UL 726, and the National Fire Protection Association NFPA 31 in the USA, CSA B140 and CSA B139  
Installation Code in Canada. The following procedure will help evaluate the venting system. It is intended as a guide to aid in  
determining that the venting system is properly installed and is in a safe condition for continuous use. This procedure should be  
recognized as a generalized procedure which cannot anticipate all situations. Accordingly, in some cases, deviation from this procedure  
may be necessary to determine safe operation of the equipment. If it is determined that a condition exists which could result in unsafe  
operation, the appliance should be shut off and the owner advised of the unsafe condition. Corrections must be made before the  
appliance is put into continuous operation. The following steps should be followed in making a safety inspection.  
1. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and determine that there is no flue gas spillage, blockage, restriction, leakage,  
corrosion, or other deficiency which could cause an unsafe operation.  
2. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions and adjust thermostat so appliance will operate  
continuously.  
3. Determine that the burner is operating properly and that the burner ignition operates satisfactorily by interrupting and re-  
establishing the electrical power of the appliance in any convenient manner. Test the burner safety device to determine if it is  
operating properly by disconnecting the flame safety circuit.  
4. Test for spillage at the burner inlet air location around the VRV after 5 minutes of operation. Use a draft gauge, flame of a match or  
candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe. Shut off appliance thermostat and check for spillage around the VRV. If a flow  
reversal is noticed, house depressurization is occurring and make up air is required.  
MAINTENANCE  
Inspect all vent connections annually for looseness, evidence of corrosion, or flue gas leakage. Replace, seal, or tighten pipe  
connections if necessary.  
As part of the yearly maintenance schedule, remove the Intake Access Panel on the exterior of the FDVS vent termination (See Figure  
2) and remove any debris or foreign material. Be sure to properly replace the panel.
