SideShot ® is a registered trademark of Tjernlund Products, Inc. for their Model SS2G Vent System.
DESCRIPTION
The SS2G is a mechanical vent system designed and listed for use with natural draft gas heating equipment. It is factory assem-
bled and wired. The SS2G 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 SS2G will continue
to operate for a nonadjustable timed period of approximately 45 seconds to purge the heater and vent of residual flue gases. The
SS2G features a safety system consisting of a Fan Proving Switch and a High Limit temperature control. These devices monitor
the SS2G’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) falls within the inputs listed below. The BTU/hr. capacity range is
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 require the use of an approved, insu-
lated vent connector to prevent problems related to condensation.
