The SWG Power Venter is the safest,
most efficient power venter available today.
SWG Power Venters are all ETL
and cETL listed for any LP gas, natural gas, or oil fired heating equipment.
The SWG combines the motor, blower, and vent hood in one complete, easy to
install unit. The SWG mounts on the outside of the building and pulls the
combustion gas from the appliance through the outside wall utilizing 100%
negative pressure.
Benefits of the
SWG Power Venter include:
100% Negative pressure in the vent pipe
for maximum safety.
Standard galvanized pipe can be used
instead of expensive stainless steel.
No need to seal vent pipe joints, saving
time, and money.
Significantly longer vent lengths than
positive pressure, direct vent systems.
The SWG is recommended by major heating
appliance manufacturers.
 The
SWG must be sized to match the appliance or appliances input firing rate. Most
firing rates are published in the manufacturer’s installation manual. SWG’s
must be installed with a CK Control Kit to ensure proper listing and safe,
efficient venting.
The standard SWG Power Venter
is designed for walls up to 8" thick. PEK extension kits allow the SWG to be
installed in walls up to 16" thick. The PEK kit includes the inner/outer pipe
extension, air flow damper and one foot of 1/4" aluminum tubing. It is
available for models SWG-4 through SWG-8.
Gas and oil heating
appliances generate heat through the combustion of fuel. The heat is
transferred through the heat exchanger and distributed to the conditioned
space. The products of combustion, however, must be vented safely out of the
structure. In a conventional chimney, venting is achieved by the natural
lifting action of the hot combustion gas. New, efficient systems absorb more
of the heat in the heat exchanger and produce lower temperature vent gas.
Lower temperature gas does not rise as quickly or as reliably as in older,
less efficient systems. Power venting or sidewall venting is more economical
and safe than chimney venting. A power venter uses a motorized blower to vent
the products of combustion. A power venter is interlocked with the appliance
to ensure that proper draft is achieved before the appliance burner is
activated.
