1. Install the vent damper device after the appliance draft hood, as
close to the draft hood as practical, and without modifi cation of
either the draft hood or the vent damper device.
2. Locate a position in the vent pipe connector between the draft hood
and chimney for the damper device. (See Figure 4)
3. A minimum clearance of 6" between the device and combustible
construction must be maintained and there must be provisions for
access and service of the damper device.
4. The vent damper device shall be connected to a chimney or vent
complying with a recognized standard, or a masonry or concrete
chimney lined with a lining material acceptable to the
enforcing authority.
5. Remove the appropriate section of vent pipe connector and reinstall
the shorter vent pipe connector and vent damper.
6. The directional arrow and crimped end of the vent
damper must point toward the chimney. The motor
assembly must be assessable for wiring and the
damper position indicator visible.
7. Secure the vent damper to the vent pipe. Use
sheet metal screws or pop rivets. The spacing
should be equally distributed 120° apart around the
circumference. Three fasteners shall be used at the inlet
and outlet of the pipe assembly.
8. Be careful not to allow the fasteners to obstruct the
damper gate.
9. It may be necessary to provide a suitable hanger to
support the vent damper independent of the
venting system.
10. Check to see the vent damper service switch is in the
automatic position.
11. Check to see the fl at shaft is fi tted into the motorized assembly.
APPLIANCE WIRING
1. To locate the vent damper wire harness (if supplied) receptacle
on the appliance, refer to the appliance manufacturer instruction
manual and follow accordingly. (See Figures 5, 6, and 7)
2. The wire harness shall be securely fastened through the conduit
bracket, located on the vent damper motor assembly.
3. The GVD series vent damper must be electrically
connected with appliance burner control circuit.
4. Be careful not to allow the wire harness to come in
contact with hot surfaces. Stand off brackets may be
required to prevent with hot surfaces.
NOTE: Plug in control circuits may contain internal fuses. A
vent damper connected to an appliance with a fused control
circuit will not allow the burner to operate unless the vent
damper is connected.
