PLANNING YOUR VENT INSTALLATIONThis type of direct vent system may terminate in
one of two ways: Vertical termination using a ventcap, or horizontally using a wall termination. There
are limitations to the vertical and/or horizontal
lengths. When calculating the length of the ventpipe from the outlet of the appliance to termination,
allow for ceiling thickness, vertical rise in the attic
or second story and sufficient vertical height above
the roof.
Fire stops are required at each floor level the ventpasses through.
When carrying out vertical installations that require
45° elbows add additional pipe to allow for theoffset.

LOCATING YOUR STOVE
Minimum clearances listed above must be
maintained. Also ensure that you have left
clearance for servicing and that that the proposed
termination location is correct.

Owners Installation and Operation Manual

Vent Restrictors
GeneralWhen air is heated within a firebox it raises into the vent system. This rising air creates a pressure
difference within the system, which is called draft. To ensure proper combustion and safety the draft
within a system must be between lower and upper limits. Generally as the length of the vent system
is increased the draft increases and can reach unacceptable levels. The vent kit restrictor is provided
to limit the draft at the firebox when using different length vent systems on a top vent stove. It is very
important that a qualified gas tradesman checks and ensures the unit is venting properly.
WARNING: IMPROPER VENTING CAN CAUSE UNSAFE OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE,ENSURE THAT A QUALIFIED LICENSED TRADESMAN INSTALLS AND CHECKS THE
SYSTEM FOR PROPER VENTING AND DRAFT CONDITIONS.
The owner’s manual provides charts to guide the installer in choosing the correct restrictor for eachindividual installation.

INSTALLATION
1) Install the restrictor at the top of the vent pipe just below the high wind vent cap. This is toallow you to change it if necessary without disassembly of the entire system.
2) Choose the vent restrictor according to the charts provided in the owners manual
3) Bend tabs on vent restrictor so restrictor fits snugly in vent pipe ,place the corner of therestrictor in the groove approximately 3” down from the top of the pipe, slide the restrictor
down until the opposite corner “clips” into the groove in the pipe as shown in picture #1.
4) Place a small tack of high temperature silicon on each corner of the restrictor to ensure it
will stay in place and not rattle. See picture #2
5) Install the high wind vent cap and check to ensure all vent connections are seating
properly.
6) Carefully light the appliance several times and ensure there is no flame lifting or“ghosting”. Carefully monitor the flame and ensure the air adjustment is correct to provide
the desired flame and proper burning efficiency.

Installation Instructions
WARNING: A minimum clearance of 2” to combustibles must be maintained around the ventpipe on horizontal pipe runs and 1” on vertical runs.
TOP VENTED APPLIANCES ONLY
You must install the top venting adapter on this Tuscany 6003T-NT gas apliance before you can connect the vent system. Parts
included with the appliance are:
1 Inner gas vent adapter connector
1 Small gasket
1 Outer intake air vent adapter connector
1 Large gasket
12 Sheet metal screws
Install the inner adapter c/w gasket and then the outer adapter c/w gasket provided, then proceed with vent pipe installation.
The vent systems use twist lock connections. The adaptor attached to the unit connects to the approved venting system.
Assemble the vent system using the desired combination of sections and fittings required for your particular installation. While
you are assembling the pipe bear in mind the best visual appearance. Seams should be aligned and hidden as much as possible.
Make sure you twist the mating section all the way to make a solid connection.
Note: As this system is a sealed system, a high temperature sealing compound must be used to seal
the metal to metal joint.
Vent Pipe Assembly Procedure
Apply a bead of high temperature sealant to both the 4” exhaust and 6-5/8” intake section of themale pipe. The female section of the pipe/fitting has four indentations evenly spaced around thepipe. These indentations are designed to slide over the male section of the pipe and locate into
the four entry slots of the male section of pipe. Twist the female section clockwise a quarter
turn to fully lock the sections together.
Horizontal Wall Vent Terminations

High
Temperature
Sealant(Mil-Pac / RTV)

10” square hole

The position of the horizontal vent termination must be positioned to meet all local
building codes (see termination chart on page 16).

Attach the correct length of vertical section pipe and an elbow fitting to the stove.
Mark the center line of the pipe facing the wall (allowing for a 1/4” rise per foot ofhorizontal run). Example 10 ft of horizontal would require a rise of 2.5”.
NOTE: ALLOWING THE VENT PIPE TO SLOPE DOWN TOWARDS THE VENTTERMINATION COULD CAUSE POOR COMBUSTION AND/OR HIGHTEMPERTURES THAT MAY PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD. Mark a 10” x 10”
square around the center mark (inside dimensions).
Cut and frame the exterior wall to accept the wall penetration heat shield. Install
the penetration shield using wood screws. If the wall being penetrated isconstructed of non-combustible material a 7” hole sufficient for the vent pipe, is
acceptable.

CL
CL
Center ofhole

SidingSiding standoff

Caution: When installing the termination on to vinyl siding, a vinyl siding
kit or furring strips must be used. This prevents the termination from being
recessed into the siding.
When the termination is to be attached to vinyl siding apply a bead of nonhardening mastic around the outside edge to form a seal between the standoff
and the termination cap. Attach the termination cap to the exterior wall inserting
four wood screws through the holes in the corner of the vent termination.
Complete the installation by applying a bead of mastic around the outer edge ofthe vinyl standoff. With the termination cap installed you can now connect thecompleted vent assembly by sliding the unit back towards the wall and carefully
inserting the pipe into the terminal. Before the final connection is made slide on
the decorative wall thimble. Secure the termination cap by securing thetermination straps to the pipe as close to the exterior wall as possible using
sheet metal screws. Ensure that the straps are hidden by the wall thimble cover.
Apply decorative trim if required.

Vertical Installations
Always maintain the 1” clearance around the vent pipe
(vertical), when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs,
enclosures, attic rafters or any combustible surfaces.
DO NOT PACK AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION.
Refer to the vent chart for maximum allowable vertical andhorizontal installations.
When planning your installation determine if ceiling joists, roof
rafters or other framing will obstruct the vent system. You may
have to use 45° elbows to navigate around any obstacles.
When passing through a flat ceiling install a Box/Wall thimble.
Cut a 10” square hole and frame as shown in the diagram
opposite.
Ensure all pipe sections are fully twist locked.

Slide the pipe into the vent, making sure there is at least 1”
overlap between the pipe and the terminal. Attach the pipe byattaching two sheet metal screws through the termination
straps and into the pipe. Bend back the straps towards thetermination cap making sure they are hidden by thedecorative thimble. Finally attach the wall penetration heatshield and secure with wood screws.

ONLY PERSONS LICENSED TO WORK WITH GAS PIPING MAY MAKE THE NECESSARY GASCONNECTION TO THIS APPLIANCE. YOU ARE NOW READY TO HOOK UP THE GAS
SUPPLY. BE SURE GAS PLUMBING INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL STATE/PROVINCIAL AND
LOCAL CODES ARE CAREFULLY FOLLOWED. USE APPROVED FLEXIBLE GASCONNECTIONS OR RIGID PIPING, DEPENDING ON PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL CODES, TO
ATTACH BURNER TO GAS SUPPLY. BE SURE TO USE PROPER SIZE GAS SUPPLY LINE.
CAREFULLY CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS WITH SOAP AND WATER
SOLUTION.
EACH INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM TO ALL LOCAL, STATE/PROVINCIAL AND
NATIONAL CODES. REFER TO THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, LOCAL ZONING AND
CODE AUTHORITIES FOR DETAILS ON INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS.
EXISTING GAS SUPPLY
Before interrupting the existing gas supply it is recommended that the following be checked.








Shut down all gas appliances and carry out a pressure test to insure there are no existing leaksin the system.
Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you
have purchased is designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are locatedon the certification label and also on the appliance’s gas valve.
Check the gas pressure to insure you will be able to supply the minimum inlet pressure for theappliance.
Check your pipe sizing to insure sufficient volume will be supplied to the appliance.

GAS SUPPLY INSTALLATION
Provide adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections.
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas appliance. The line
must be properly sized and fitted according to the installation codes. The installation must provide
an easily accessible manual shut-off valve, upstream of the appliance supply connection.
The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its equipment shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or lessthan 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). Failure to follow these instructions will damage the appliance’s gas valve.
Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Check for proper gas supply pressure by loosening the set-screw on the inlet pressure tap (markedIN) on the gas valve with a small screw driver and placing a test gauge on the tap.
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure is 5.0 in. w.c. (1.24 kPa) for natural gas and 12.0 in.
w.c. (3.00 kPa) for propane. Maximum gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0 in. w.c. (3.48
kPa) or 1/2 psi. for both natural gas and propane.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET-SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE
PRESSURE. CHECK ALL GAS CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS.

IMPORTANT - GLASS CLEANING - WHITE MINERAL DEPOSITSOne of the byproducts of the combustion process in a gas appliance, is a mineral which can show up as a white film on the ceramic glass of theviewing door. The composition of the deposit varies widely from various locations and also from time to time in the same location. You may havethe problem for a time and then not see it for many months when it will reappear in your area. It seems this is associated with the varying sulfur
content of the gas. We have discussed this problem with ceramic glass manufacturers and they cannot give us a definitive answer to this problem.
Dealers have tried various cleaning products with varying results. The following recommendations will not guarantee results in your particular case.
1. Clean the glass regularly as soon as you notice the buildup (white film). If the film is left for a longer period of time, build up will bake on. It isthen much harder, if not impossible, to remove.
2. NEVER use an abrasive cleaner on the ceramic glass. Any abrasion of the surface has the immediate effect of lessening the strength of theglass. An emulsion type cleaner is recommended.
3. Use a soft damp cloth to apply the cleaner. Dry the glass with a soft, dry, preferably cotton cloth. Most paper towels and synthetic materials
are abrasive to ceramic glass and should be avoided.
4. Our dealers have had good results from the products listed below. We can not however guarantee the results of these products.
a) BRASSOb) POLISH PLUS by KEL KEMc) COOK TOP CLEAN CREME by ELCOd) WHITE OFF by RUTLAND
NOTE: This is a problem beyond Blaze King’s control and is
not covered under warranty.
NOTICE: COLD WEATHER OPERATION
When using any gas appliance (LPG or NAT Gas) water is a byproduct of the combustion process. Under normal conditions this moisture isexpelled through the vent into the atmosphere and does not cause any harm. In extreme cold weather the vapor may condense and freeze on any
exposed surface it comes into contact with. This can cause a problem by restricting or blocking the vent, particularly with direct vent wall
terminations as the exhaust is only a few inches away from the outside wall surface. What happens to the moisture after it leaves the vent cannot
be controlled by the manufacturer. To extend the vent further out from the wall can sometimes but not always be an advantage. Extending the ventout from the wall may present other design problems such as ice falling from the eaves above. It is the homeowners responsibility to ensure that
there is not an excessive build-up of ice on the termination.
CAUTION: WHEN OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE DURING COLD WEATHER YOU MUST FREQUENTLY CHECK THE EXHAUST CAP FOR
EXCESSIVE ICE BUILD UP.
If the appliance begins to operate abnormally - Poor flame pattern, shutting down, etc., this could be an indication of ice build up.

instructions.

LEAK TESTING:
CAUTION: DO NOT TEST FOR LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
 With the main burner “ON”, test the new pressure regulator using a soap solution
 Check all fittings for leaks using the soap solution.
FUEL CONVERSION LABEL:
 Fill out and attach the fuel conversion label #0630 provided in the kit and attach it to the upper right hand corner of
the approval label on the plate hanging on the back of the stove.

AERATION ADJUSTMENTIMPORTANT: IF YOU CHANGED THE FUEL THE
AERATION WILL REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT - SEE PAGE 18
ALLOW THE UNIT TO BURN FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES TO CHECK THE FLAME PICTURE.
 If you have converted from Natural gas to Propane you will have to INCREASE the aeration opening as propane
requires more primary air to burn correctly.
 If you have changed from Propane to Natural gas you may have to REDUCE the aeration opening as Natural gas
requires less primary air to burn correctly.
