Radiance Natural Vent Gas Heater
20004409
Venting Requirements and Options
The Radiance must be properly connected to a listed
4” (102mm) Type B venting system or to an approved
Class A masonry or factory-built chimney system. In
Canada, a complete relining of Class A chimney
systems is required.
The Radiance Natural Vent stove will accept decorative
6” (150mm) stove pipe around the Type B venting
system, for aesthetic purposes.
Complete Type B vent systems are available from a
number of manufacturers, and your dealer can usually
supply one. Pipe sections from different makers are not
interchangeable; do not mix pipe or vent sections from
different makers. Follow the vent system
manufacturer’s instructions exactly.
Decorative stove chimneys for B vent applications are
available through vent dealers.
The vent system should conform to specifications of
the National Fuel Gas Code, latest edition.
If connecting to a Class A chimney system, use 4”
(102mm) single wall or 4” Type B vent connector.
Single wall vent connector requires a minimum 6”
(153mm) clearance to combustible surfaces.
Exterior chimneys may be subject to flow reversal or
condensation. To lessen these conditions, enclose
Type B vents in an insulated chase, or reline exterior
Class A chimneys.
An approved pass-through device is always required,
whether the vent system passes through a wall or a
ceiling. Use a pass-through device from the same
maker who supplies the venting system.
Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or
siding.
Vent Layout and Height Requirements
Venting for a Radiance can rise vertically through the
home, or can pass through an exterior wall and rise
along the outside of the home. Some codes require
that a Type B vent system rising on the outside of the
home be enclosed in a chase. Check your local codes
for requirements.
The minimum vent system height for the Radiance
Natural Vent Stove is 8 feet (2.43m), (Fig. 7) measured
from the top of the stove. To determine the minimum
height the vent system must extend through or past the
roof, refer to the 1993 edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code.

The installation must conform with local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition.
(EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for
altitude. Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5” w.c.
for Natural Gas and 10” w.c. for Propane.)
High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are
certified without deration for elevations up to
4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA,
installations must be in accordance with the
current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes
having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local
authorities having jurisdiction for installations at
elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).
