SideShot ® is a registered trademark of Tjernlund Products, Inc. for their Model SS1-R Vent System.
DESCRIPTION
The SS1-R is a mechanical vent system designed and listed for use with specified Rheem, Ruud, Weatherking and Heat
Controller oil fired furnaces. The SS1-R automatically vents the flue gases away from the oil furnace to the outdoors. By combin-
ing outside air with high-tech insulation and maintaining required clearances, surrounding combustible materials remain at safe
temperatures. After each burner cycle, the SS1-R and the burner motor will continue operating for an adjustable post-purge
period. The post-purge provides numerous system benefits, therefore, it is not recommended to reduce the post-purge time from
that which is set at the factory. The SS1-R also features a two way safety system consisting of a fan proving switch and a high
limit control. These devices monitor the SS1-R’s performance and will interrupt furnace operation if a malfunction is detected.
