Initial Installation
QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY
PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION:
The Cara DR is only for horizontal rear vent installations. The maximum horizontal is 2’ (61 cm) and the
slope on the vent must be 1” per foot (3.2 cm per 30 cm). No vent restrictor is required and no elbows
are allowed. When planning your installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe
for your particular requirements. It is important to note when passing through a wall, the maximum
allowable wall thickness is 10 inches (25.4 cm); 1 inches (3.8 cm) clearance to combustibles must be
maintained. To connect the venting system to the appliance ue outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built into
the appliance at the factory.
Note: If necessary to get above grade the Cara DR can be installed using a 14” or 36” snorkel.
