NOVUS B-VENT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DESIGN AND INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS FOR B-VENTS
When selecting a location for your B-Vent appliance, it is important to evaluate a number of considerationsꢀ Modern
construction techniques can create conditions that may not allow your vent to draft properlyꢀ This may result in spillage
from your B-Vent appliance, as well as cause other combustion appliances to operate incorrectlyꢀ
Tightly sealed construction is important for energy efficiencyꢀ Unfortunately, a great deal of effort has been directed to
tightening up sidewall construction, while considerably less attention has been paid to tightening upper portions of the
warm air envelope (insulated ceilings)ꢀ This has increased the “Stack Effect”, a condition that increases the negative
pressure generated by the structureꢀ This negative pressure will directly affect the drafting performance of a B-Vent
appliance ventꢀ To minimize the negative pressure generated by stack effect, make certain that all ductwork installed in
the attic spaces is sealed airtightꢀ Minimize the number of recessed light fixtures installed in the insulated ceiling and use
sealed recessed light fixturesꢀ Finally, make certain the whole house fans and attic access panels are tightly sealedꢀ
These are important design considerations that must be observed during the design and construction stage of the homeꢀ
If you desire to put an appliance in your basement, we recommend that you consider a direct vent gas applianceꢀ Basements
always have a significant negative air pressure that causes the B-Vent system to be more susceptible to spillage and cold
flue backdraftingꢀ Since direct vent gas appliances are sealed, they are not affected by the negative pressure that exists
in basementsꢀ
Finally, a B-Vent appliance performs best when the vent (roof termination) is located on the upper half of the roof, especially
when cathedral ceilings are presentꢀ Vents that are located on the lower half of the roof realize what is known as “lazy flue”
and will not draft as well as a vent that is located in the upper portion of the roofꢀ The reason for this is that the stack effect
generated by the overall height of the living spaces inside the house will exceed the draft generated by the vent systemꢀ
If you desire to place an appliance in a location where the termination cap would be located on the lower half of a roof;
such as on an outside wall at the base of a cathedral ceiling, we recommend that you consider using a direct vent gas
applianceꢀ This will ensure an appliance that operates correctlyꢀ
These properties do not affect just your B-Vent applianceꢀ They can cause any woodburning fireplace as well as any
conventionally vented (B-Vent) gas appliance to operate improperlyꢀ Careful planning at this stage of your project will
ensure satisfaction with the operation of your appliance once it is completedꢀ

WARNING - RISK OF FIRE!
Always maintain minimum clearances or greater
around the vent systemꢀ Do not pack air spaces with
insulation or other materialꢀ The flow of combustion
and ventilation air must not be obstructedꢀ
WARNING!
The horizontal run of vent must have a 1/4” rise for
every 1 ftꢀ of run towards the terminationꢀ Never al-
low the vent to run downwardꢀ This could cause high
temperatures and may present a fire hazardꢀ
3% FIRESTOP SPACER/VENT INSTALLATION
Frame an opening and install a firestop spacer
whenever the vent penetrates a ceiling floor area, as
shown in Figure 6ꢀ Frame the opening with the same
sized lumber as used in the ceiling/floor joistꢀ Unless
the flue is offset, the hole should be directly above the
applianceꢀ DO NOT pack insulation around the ventꢀ
Assemble vent sections with three screws per jointꢀ
Figure 6

WARNING!
When vent sections exceeding three feet in length
are installed between an offset/return, structural sup-
port must be provided to reduce off-center loading
and prevent vent sections from separating at the vent
jointsꢀ Follow all B-vent manufacturer guidelinesꢀ
4% CHASE/TERMINATION INSTALLATION
Figure 7 and Table 1 specify minimum vent heights for
various pitched roofsꢀ Vent sections may have to be cut
to a certain lengthꢀ
These vent heights are necessary for safety and do not
ensure draft-free operationꢀ Trees, buildings, adjoining
roof lines, adverse conditions, etcꢀ, may create a need
for a taller vent should down drafting occurꢀ

Iꢀ DETERMINING THE IGNITION TYPE
To determine whether your appliance is an intermittent pilot
ignition or a standing pilot ignition, open the control access
panel (Figure 23) to examine the wiring systemꢀ If your system
has a red ignitor button, as shown in Figure 24, you own a
standing pilot ignition applianceꢀ If no red ignitor button is
present, you own an intermittent pilot ignition applianceꢀ
You may also check the rating label located on the inside of
the control access panel to determine ignition typeꢀ

4% OUTSIDE AIR KIT OPERATION
The outside air kit should be purchased with this
applianceꢀ The outside air kit helps to decrease the
amount of room air taken, by utilizing outside air for
combustionꢀ It is strongly recommended that it be
installedꢀ
To operate the outside air kit, before starting the
appliance, open the control access panelꢀ Grasp the
small, black handle located on the left side of the
appliance, just below the glass retainerꢀ See Figure 25ꢀ
Lift the handle out of its slot and pull towards the frontꢀ
The outside air door should openꢀ Replace the handle
back in the slot on the bracket from which it was removed
(so the outside air door remains open) and close the
control access panelꢀ When through burning the
appliance, open the panel, grasp the handle and push
the outside air door closedꢀ

Lꢀ START-UP ISSUES
Issues:
Possible Causes and Solutions:
14
24
34
Condensation on the glass4
14
24
34
This is a result of gas combusion and temperature variations4 As
the appliance warms up, this condensation should disappear4
Blue flames4
This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to
yellow as the appliance is allowed to burn4
Odor from the appliance4
When first operated, this appliance may release an odor for the first
several hours4 This is caused by the curing of the paint and the
burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing4
44
Film on the glass4
44
This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs4
Glass should be cleaned within 4-6 hours of initial burning to
remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process4 A non-
abrasive clearner, such as Brasso may be necessary4
WARNING!
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids in this applianceꢀ
Keep any flammable liquids a safe distance from the applianceꢀ

1% CLEANING THE BURNER AND CONTROL
COMPARTMENT
Keep the burner and control compartment clean by
brushing and vacuuming at least once a yearꢀ Failure to
do this may shorten the fan’s life (where applicable)ꢀ
Always turn off the wall switch (or remote control) and
gas valve before cleaningꢀ
2% CHECKING FLAME PATTERNS
Visually check the flame of the burner periodically,
making sure the flames are steady, not lifting or floatingꢀ
The flame color should be blue with yellow tipsꢀ The
sensor (intermittent pilot) or thermopile and
thermocouple (standing pilot) tips should be covered
with flameꢀ See Figures 26 and 27ꢀ
If the vent configuration is installed incorrectly, the vent
may cause the flames inside the appliance to lift or
“ghost”, which is a dangerous situationꢀ Inspect the
flames after installation to ensure proper performanceꢀ
See Figure 28ꢀ If the vent configuration is correct, yet
the flames are lifting or ghosting, shut off gas to the
appliance and contact the dealer you purchased the
appliance fromꢀ
