Below Grade Snorkel Installation  
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed  
below grade, i.e. basement application,  
proper drainage must be provided to pre-  
vent water from entering the Snorkel Ter-  
mination. Refer to Dura-Vent Installation  
instructions for details.. Do not attempt to  
enclose the Snorkel within the wall, or any  
other type of enclosure.  
Note:

a) The horizontal run of vent should have a 1/  
4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run towards  
the termination. Never allow the vent to run  
downward. This could cause high temper-

RIGID PIPE VENTING -  
HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS  
The shaded area in the diagram below shows all allowable combinations  
of vertical runs with horizontal terminations. Maximum one 90O elbow  
(two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow) using Dura-Vent Venting Systems  
Residential and Manufactured Homes /  
Mobile Homes Installations  
The venting arrangements diagrammed below, have a minimum of 75% (flue loss)  
efficiency with Fan Off, as required for manufactured homes. (Actual efficiency  
may be as high as 85%.)  
RIGID PIPE VENTING - VERTICAL TERMINATIONS  
for both Residential & Manufactured Homes/Mobile Homes  
The shaded areas in the two diagrams below show all allowable combinations of straight vertical and offset to vertical runs with  
vertical terminations. Maximum two 45o elbows (not including the 45o elbow attached to the unit.). All vertical and offset to vertical  
vent installations require Vent Restrictor #1. If the vent is ENCLOSED in a chase (min. size 9" x 9") maintain a 1-1/4" clearance to combustibles.  
Offset to Vertical Terminations  
Vent Restrictor must be set at 5/8" for this venting installation.

Secure the connection between the vent  
pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two  
sheet metal strips extending from the vent  
capassemblyintotheouterwallofthevent  
pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws  
provided to connect the strips to the pipe.  
Bend any remaining portion of the sheet  
metal strip back towards the vent cap, so  
it will be concealed by the decorative wall  
thimble cover. See diagram 3.  
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.  
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic  
to avoid obstructions, it is impor-  
tant to support the vent pipe every  
3 feet, to avoid excessive stress  
on the elbows, and possible sep-  
aration. Wall straps are available  
for this purpose. See diagram 4.

Continue to add pipe sections through the  
flashing until the height of the vent cap  
meets the minimum height requirements  
specified in diagram 9 or local codes. Note  
that for steep roof pitches, the vertical  
height must be increased. A poor draft, or  
down drafting can result from high wind  
conditions near big trees or adjoining roof  
lines, in these cases, increasing the vent  
height may solve the problem.

Note: Prior to any pressure testing  
of the gas supply piping system that  
exceeds test pressures of 1/2 psig,  
this appliance must be disconnect-  
ed from the piping system. If test  
pressures equal to or less than 1/2  
psig are used then this appliance  
must be isolated from the piping

5) The pressure check should be carried out  
with the unit burning and the setting should  
be within the limits specified on the safety

LIGHTING PLATE INSTRUCTIONS  
NORMAL OPERATING  
SOUNDS OF  
GAS APPLIANCES  
It is possible that you will hear some sounds  
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly  
normal due to the fact that there are various  
gauges and types of steel used within your  
appliance.Listedbelowaresomeexamples.All  
are normal operating sounds and should  
notbeconsideredasdefectsinyourappliance.  
Blower:  
Waterford gas appliances use high tech blow-  
ers to push heated air farther into the room. It  
is not unusual for the fan to make a "whirring"  
sound when ON. This sound will increase or  
decrease in volume depending on the speed  
setting of your fan speed control.  
Burner Tray:  
The burner tray is positioned directly under the  
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a  
different gauge material from the rest of the  
fireboxandbody.Therefore,thevaryingthick-  
nesses of steel will expand and contract at  
slightly different rates which can cause "tick-  
ing"and"cracking"sounds.Youshouldalsobe  
aware that as there are temperature changes  
withintheunitthesesoundswilllikelyre-occur.  
Again, this is normal for steel fireboxes.  
Blower Thermodisc:  
When this thermally activated switch turns ON  
itwillcreateasmall"clicking"sound. Thisisthe  
switch contacts closing and is normal.  
Pilot Flame:  
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very  
slight "whisper" sound.  
Gas Control Valve:  
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a  
dullclickingsoundmaybeaudible,thisisnormal  
operation of a gas regulator or valve.  
Unit Body/Firebox:
