4. Opsætning og installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your direct vent system. Always refer to the appliance manufacturer's instructions for specific venting requirements.

4.1. Kontrol før installation

• Kontroller, at alle komponenter er til stede og ubeskadigede.
• Ensure the pipe size matches the appliance's requirements (e.g., 5" x 8" for this model).
• Confirm compliance with all local building and fire codes.

4.2. Connecting Pipe Sections

DuraVent DirectVent Pro pipes feature a twist-lock connection system. To connect sections:

1. Align the male end of one pipe section with the female end of another.
2. Push the sections together firmly until they seat.
3. Twist the pipe section clockwise until the locking tabs engage. A click may be heard, indicating a secure connection.

Note: The use of sealant is optional, unless specifically required by the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions.

4.3. Calculating Installed Length

When calculating the total installed length of multiple pipe sections, subtract 1 1/2 inches (1.5") for each joint connection. This accounts for the overlap of the twist-lock mechanism.

Example: Two 6-inch pipes connected will result in an installed length of 6" + 6" - 1.5" = 10.5 inches.

5. Driftsmæssige overvejelser

While the pipe itself does not "operate," its proper function is integral to the safe operation of the direct vent appliance. Ensure the entire venting system is installed according to the appliance manufacturer's specifications and all applicable codes.

• Systemintegritet: Regularly inspect the entire venting system for any signs of damage, disconnections, or blockages.
• Apparatets kompatibilitet: Only use this pipe with direct vent appliances specifically listed for use with DuraVent DirectVent Pro systems.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance of your direct vent system, including the chimney pipe, is essential for safety and longevity.

• Årlig inspektion: Have the entire direct vent system, including the pipe, inspected annually by a qualified professional.
• Rensning: Clean the interior of the pipe as recommended by the appliance manufacturer or as part of a professional inspection. Ensure no debris or creosote buildup occurs.
• External Check: Periodically check the exterior of the pipe for any signs of corrosion, dents, or other physical damage.
• Fælles integritet: Confirm that all twist-lock connections remain secure and free from leaks.

7. Fejlfinding

Most issues related to the chimney pipe are installation-dependent or part of a larger system problem. If you encounter any of the following, consult a qualified professional immediately:

• Smoke or Fumes Leakage: Indicates a potential leak in the venting system. Check all connections and pipe integrity.
• Poor Appliance Performance: Can be caused by blockages or improper venting.
• Visible Damage to Pipe: Dents, corrosion, or holes compromise the system's safety. Replace damaged sections immediately.

Always prioritize safety. Do not attempt repairs if you are not qualified.
