DESCRIPTION
The SS2 is a mechanical vent system designed and listed for use with natural draft oil heating equipment. It is factory assembled
and wired. The SS2 automatically vents the flue gases from heating equipment to the outdoors. By recirculating indoor air with a
cooling fan, surrounding combustible materials remain at safe temperatures. After each burner cycle the SS2 will continue to
operate for an adjustable time period to purge the heater and vent of residual flue gases. The SS2 features a safety system con-
sisting of a Fan Proving Switch and a High Limit temperature control. These devices monitor the SS2’s performance and will inter-
rupt 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 inputs listed below. The BTU/hr. capacity range is
based on a maximum of 50 equivalent feet (15 meters). To determine equivalent feet, add the total length of straight vent pipe
plus 10 feet (3 meters) for each 90 degree elbow and 5 feet (1.5 meters) for each 45 degree elbow. Vent runs of over 15 linear
feet (4.5 meters) require the use of an approved, insulated vent connector to prevent problems related to condensation.
* Burner capacities exceeding 1 GPH may require the burner to be adjusted to more efficient (12.5-13% CO2) than typical levels
to maintain recommended over-fire draft settings. See “Draft Adjustment Procedure” on page 12 of this manual or consult
Tjernlund at 1-800-255-4208 with questions prior to installation.
