PVW47 Product Dimensions

PVW47 Mounting Flange Dimensions

Preparing the power vent

Flange setting notes
The PVW47 is designed to work with an adjustable flange that can adapt to different finishing depths. Use the chart shown to plan out what setting you should have your flange set.

• PV sticking out from wall dimension – This dimension should be related to whatever finishing material will eventually be applied to the OSB board. Silicone behind the power vent flange may increase this measurement up to ¼”. Materials such as house wrap and furring strips underneath the final finishing will also factor into the final “finish depth”.
• 2×6 stud and 3/4 board dimension – The chart assumes using a 2″x 6″ stud and ¾” board. If your jurisdiction has finishing requirements different from this, then adjust your depths about the chart accordingly.
• PV sticking out from stud dimension – The chart assumes using a 2″x 6″ stud and ¾” board. If your jurisdiction has finishing requirements different from this, then adjust your depths inabouthe chart accordingly.

IMPORTANT
This adjustment must be done BEFORE installation. Changes to the air diluter CANNOT be made after the power vent is installed and the vent run is connected.

Air diluter adjustment

• Diluter closed:
  This is the factory setting, keep the diluter closed for distances greater than 30 feet.

• Diluter open:
  Adjust to this setting for distances between 3 and 30 feet. Affix by bending the finger bend tab with a screwdriver.

Determine the power vent run

Venting Installation
THIS POWER VENT CAN BE ROUTED IN ANY PATH AS LONG AS IT MEETS THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:

• Maximum vertical distance above Fireplace floor 60′
• Maximum effective length with 1 elbow = 125 ft.
• Maximum effective length with 8 elbows = 104 ft.
• Minimum venting is 3’ with one 90° elbow.
• Maximum 8-90° elbows or 16-45° elbows
• Maximum drop of 12 ft from the highest point in the run.
• If the nt pipe runs downward it cannot turn back upward.

Example Installation
Multi-elbow installations are possible up to a maximum of eight 90° elbows. Two 45° elbows classify as 1 90° elbow

ELBOW #/MAX VENTING RUN

• 1 ELBOW 125
• 2 ELBOW 122
• 3 ELBOW 119
• 4 ELBOW 116
• 5 ELBOW 113
• 6 ELBOW 110
• 7 ELBOW 107
• 8 ELBOW 104

NOTICE
For short vent runs, ensure the diluter is open. Adjust to this setting for distances between 3 and 30 feet. Affix by bending the finger bend tab with a screwdriver.

Minimum Venting
Minimum venting is 3’ with one 90° elbow.

For example with downward venting
The maximum downward drop is 12ft from the highest point of the run. No rise is permitted after the downward section. Maximum 4 elbows.

Example with downward venting and power vent below the fireplace level
The maximum downward drop is 12ft from the highest point of the run. No rise is permitted after the downward section. Power vent can be installed 8ft bellow fireplace, but maximum effective run must be reduced to 56ft including 4 elbows.

NOTICE
The following steps are good faith instructions written and designed to result in the best possible performance for the power vent, as well as minimize the impact on the building envelope. Diverting from these instructions due to local code, or other reasons should be done with common sense and standard building knowledge in mind.

Installing the Power Vent (new construction)

Step 1:
Using a level and square, ensure the opening is square and has the correct dimensions as noted in the previous section. The power vent has zero clearance to combustibles, so wood framing is permitted.

Step 2:
Standard construction OSB can be used to finish the exterior wall around the power vent. Ensure the board is flush with the opening with no gaps.

FINAL STEP BEFORE INSTALLING THE POWER VENT:
Silicone Rubber Sealant should be applied around the perimeter of the opening right before installing the power vent.

Step 3:
Homewrap can then be applied to the exterior side of the OSB. Using a utility knife, cut out the opening for the power vent and fold the wrap into the cavity. Tape or tack this down to prevent movement, then reinforce the folded edge with flashing tape.

Step 4:
Furring strips are attached to the exterior wall (ensure these are attached to the studs underneath the OSB, and not just into the board.) Furring strips should be cut well short of the PV opening, as the power vent flange will protrude well around the perimeter of the opening.

NOTICE
These instructions specifically apply to jurisdictions that require a ventilated rain screen or “air gap” Adjust your installation for codes in your area.

SEALING THE POWER VENT:
Silicone Rubber Sealant should be applied to the gap between the power vent and the trim AFTER installation. This is to prevent the seal from breaking during installation.

Step 5:
At this point, the power vent should have its trim kit attached as described in the previous section. Carefully maneuver the power vent into the opening and ensure that the unit is square to the opening. Using the included screws, attach the trim to the wall (ensure that the screws are penetrating the studs and not just the OSB.)

Step 6:
Flashing tape should be applied around the perimeter of the flange. Ensure the edges are flush against both the homewrap and the flange to ensure that water intrusion will not occur.

NOTICE
Paint can be applied to the power vent before installation. Ensure you use a high-temperature paint. Touch-ups may be required after installation is completed.

SEALING THE TRIM BOX:
Silicone Rubber Sealant should be applied to the gap between the power vent and the trim box at this stage.

Step 7:
A trim box around the perimeter of the power vent is recommended to ensure a tight seal against the weather. This can be done similarly to a window or door trim box.

Step 8:
Rain flashing must be attached above the power vent (or trim box.) This must be sealed and taped as well.

POWER VENT WATER DRAINAGE LIP:
The power vent is designed to be internally watertight and therefore includes a lip to allow for drainage. Ensure that this lip is not obstructed by the trim box or siding.

FINAL SEALING:
Silicone Rubber Sealant should be applied to the gap between the siding and the trim box at this stage.

Step 9:
The final siding can be attached at this time as per the manufacturer’s specifications.

FINAL INSPECTION:
Silicone Rubber Sealant should cover the gaps between the power vent and trim box, as well as between the siding and trim box.

PAINTING:
Paint can be applied to the power vent before or after installation. Ensure you use a high-temperature paint. Touch-ups may be required after installation is completed.

NOTICE
The following steps are good faith instructions written and designed to result in the best possible performance for the power vent, as well as minimize the impact on the building envelope. Diverting from these instructions due to local code, or other reasons should be done with common sense and standard building knowledge in mind.

Installing the Power Vent (retrofit installation)

Step 1:
Using a utility knife or similar tool, cut out an 18″ x 18″ perimeter to fit the powder frame onto the studs. Additionally, remove any insulation and vapour barrier that exists within this space.

Step 2:
Add a header and sill to properly support the power vent. Using a square and tape measure, ensure the inner dimensions are 14½” x 14½”.

TOP VIEW:
The trim kit is flipped and attached to the inside stud edge.

Step 3:
Using a sawsall or similar tool, carefully cut out the perimeter created by the header, studs, and sill.

Step 4:
At this point, the power vent should have its trim kit attached as described above. Carefully maneuver the power vent into the opening and ensure that the unit is square to the opening. Using the included screws, attach the trim to the wall studs.

Step 5:
Seal the perimeter of the power vent with the siding as per local codes.

RAIN FLASHING:
Rain flashing must be attached above the power vent (or trim box.) This must be sealed and taped as well.

POWER VENT WATER DRAINAGE LIP:
The power vent is designed to be internally watertight and therefore includes a lip to allow for drainage. Ensure that this lip is not obstructed by the trim box or siding.

Wiring Installation

Connect the wiring to the external power vent termination as outlined in the previous section, and connect the wiring to the fireplace as outlined in the schematic below. Ensure that the proper clearances are maintained for the wiring and conduit.

• When installing the wiring it must never run above the vent run and it must be at least 1″ clear of all venting.

WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.

It is agreed and understood that The company’s sole obligation, and purchaser’s exclusive remedy under this warranty, under any other warranty, expressed or implied, or in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be limited to repair, replacement or refund as specified above. The opinion of The Companies concerning these matters shall be final.

In no event shall The Companies be responsible for any incidental or consequential damages caused by (but not limited to) improper installation, installation by an unqualified or unauthorized installer, accident, lack of regular maintenance, user error, abuse, misuse, Acts of God, power surges, floods, natural disasters, force majeure, defects in its appliance whether such damage occurs or is discovered before or after replacement or repair, and whether or not such damage is caused by The Companies negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. The duration of any implied warranty concerning the appliance is limited to the duration of the foregoing warranty. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

EXCLUSIONS TO WARRANTY
Corrosion or rust of any kind due to a lack of maintenance, inadequate combustion air or improper venting and corrosive chemicals/environments, expansion and contraction of metals or minor movements of components causing noise are not covered by this warranty.

Willful misconduct (i.e. use of the appliance with problems known to the purchaser and causing further damages), including unauthorized or self- performed ‘fixing’ or exploration of the appliance’s internal workings will void the warranty.
Appliances on which the serial number has been altered, defaced, removed or made illegible will void the warranty. Costs incurred for diagnosis, service work, shipping and handling of defective or replacement parts are not covered under this warranty.
