VENT HOOD TERMINATION CLEARANCES

The SideShot has been CSA Listed according to the requirements of “Mechanical Flue-Gas Exhausters” CSA Std B255-M81 and
the “Installation code for Oil burning Equipment” CSA Std B139-M91. (See Diag. A)
• A venting system shall not terminate underneath a veranda, porch, or deck, or above a paved sidewalk or a paved driveway

that is located between two buildings, and that serves both buildings.

• The exit terminals of mechanical draft systems shall not be less than 2.13m (7ft) above grade when located adjacent to a paved

sidewalk or driveway.

• A venting system shall not direct flue gases towards brickwork, siding, or other construction, in such a manner that may cause

damage from heat or condensate from the flue gases.

• A venting system shall not direct flue gases so as to jeopardize people, overheat combustible structures, or enter buildings.
A venting system shall not terminate within 1.8 m (6ft) of the following:

• A window, door or mechanical air supply inlet of any building, including soffit openings
• A gas service regulator vent outlet
• A combustion air inlet
• A property line
• A direction facing combustible materials or openings of surrounding buildings

A venting system shall not terminate within 1m (3ft) of the following:

• Above a gas meter/regulator assembly within 1m (3ft) horizontally of the vertical centreline of the regulator
• A oil tank or an oil tankfill inlet
• The inside corner of an L-shaped structure

A venting system shall not terminate within .3m (1ft) of the following:

• Above grade level or any surface that may support snow, ice, or debris

If possible, do not terminate the SS1C on a wall that faces the direction of the prevailing winds. Backdrafts by severe
winds can cause oil odors to remain in the structure and/or interrupt heating equipment operation.

IMPORTANT

Vent Hood and top of Plenum: Zero Clearance
Plenum front and sides: 1.3cm (1/2 inch)
Plenum rear: 7.6cm (3 inches)

P1 & P2 PRE-CYCLE FAN PROVER STATUS CHECK

The Pre-Cycle Prover Status Check is deactivated from the factory on the SS1C. Because of the
low set point of the SS1C Fan Prover (as low as .03" w.c.) cross winds may cause the Fan Prover
to close prior to a call for heat. Activating the Prover Status Check on the SS1C may cause
nuisance lockouts.
