SideShot

is a registered trademark of Tjernlund Products, Inc. for their Model SS1 Vent System.

DESCRIPTION

The SideShot 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 SideShot 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 SideShot will continue to operate for an adjustable time period to purge the heater and vent of residual
flue gases. The SideShot features a two way safety system consisting of a Fan Proving Switch and a high limit temperature con-
trol. These devices monitor the SideShot'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.
