BDM: Pro-Form Direct Vent System 5x8 co-axial direct vent pipe Selkirk: Direct-Temp System (8-inch diameter) Curve NOTE: If your vent configuration exceeds 120 feet in total length, contact Ortal to determine which of the larger fans (RS012-016) would work best.
Pre-Installation Considerations IMPORTANT: Read Before You Begin Take the following information into consideration when planning the vent configuration/pathway for your project. Vertical Drop: The vent configuration cannot exceed 6 feet of cumulative vertical drop (downhill run). For venting that rises vertically after a drop, a condensation drain must be installed mid-way though the horizontal portion of the drop.
RS 016 fan models, the Enervex RS 009 fan is the standard fan offered in the Enervex Power Vent Kits. It covers most project venting needs. If your vent configuration exceeds the RS 009 model capabilities, contact Ortal to determine which larger fan would work best.

ADC 100 Control Box Specifications The ADC 100 Control Box controls the speed of the power vent fan to maintain proper draft and pressure in a vent system. The ADC 100 control comes with a Proven Draft Switch (the PDS1) and a Chimney Probe. The PDS and Chimney Probe are a required safety function used to ensure a negative pressure is maintained in the vent pipe.

NOTE: Ortal fireplaces do not use a damper.
Proven Draft Switch and Chimney Probe Specifications The Proven Draft Switch (PDS1) and Chimney Probe create a safety mechanism that monitors the pressure inside the vent pipe. In the event Chimney Probe measures a pressure drop in the vent pipe, the PDS1 will communicate with the ADC 100 and shut off the supply of gas to the fireplace.

Installation The following installation instructions were taken from pages 5-7 of the Enervex PDS Fan Proving Switch Installation Manual.
Gas Solenoid Valve Specifications The Gas Solenoid Valve is a safety mechanism that regulates the flow of gas to the fireplace. In the event that pressure in the vent pipe drops below normal limits, the gas solenoid will shut off the gas going to the fireplace. Features 2-way normally closed operation ...
