Energy Tech Laboratories ETL - Energy Technology Laboratories Blower RSIB 300-500 Manuale Utente

The RSIB must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with these instructions and all local codes, or

 

in their absence, with the latest edition of The National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA54/ANSI223.1), NFPA 211, NFPA 31  

 

or Canada CAN/CSA-B149.1-05 National Gas and Propane Installation Code when applicable. The RSIB must be  

 

mounted so the clearance to combustibles is at least 24 inches.

 

Preferably, the RSIB should be installed as close to the termination as possible. It can also be installed near the   

 

outlet of a heating appliance in the breeching itself, or in the transition from breeching to vertical chimney (replacing  

 

the Tee). In addition, it can be used for sidewall vented applications where it discharges through a wall.  The RSIB   

 

contains two drain holes to allow condensation to exit the fan housing.

 

The RSIB is for indoor and outdoor installation.  Unless installed adjacent to the wall it is discharging through,  

 

the chimney material used on the discharge side must be airtight/pressure rated. Traditional gas vent (B-vent) is not  

 

considered pressure rated or airtight.  The vent pipe must be installed and supported according to the chimney    

 

manufacturer’s instructions and/or in accordance with NFPA54, NFPA211 and Canada CAN/CSA-B149.1-05.  The  

RSIB collars fit most commonly available vents and stacks.

 

The power venter can be installed in multiple positions. However, it should always be possible to remove the  

 

 

access door.

 

Acceptable power venter positions are shown below in Fig. 2.  Note that the power venter should never be installed  

 

so the motor points down.  This will cause condensation build up around the motor shaft and shorten the life of the  

 

motor.

 

RSIB350-500:  A drain hole located at the base of the motor MUST be removed prior to installation.  Failure to do so  

 

 

could shorten the life of the motor.  See Fig. 2 below.
