1. Product Information
1.1 Function
Use The EXHAUSTO RSIB Power Venter is intended for use as an in-line draft inducer/power venter.
It can be installed in-line with the chimney or stack, and can be used in sidewall and vertical venting
arrangements. It is specifically designed for applications requirinng efficient operation, low noise level, low
energy consumption, variable speed and compact design. The RSIB is for use with non-condensing
and condensing appliances (Category I, II, III, IV) operating at flue gas temperatures at or below 575°F
(300° C). Typical uses include, but are not limited to, mechanical venting of gas and oil fired boilers and
water heaters and other appliances operating with discharge temperatures at or below 575°F (300° C).
The RSIB is for indoor and outdoor installations.
Construction
TheEXHAUSTORSIBPowerVenterisanefcienthightemperatureventilatorwithabackward-inclined,
cast aluminum impeller. The ventilator housing is made of corrosion resistant 316L stainless steel. It
isequippedwithanenergy-efcient,totallyenclosed,variablespeedmotor,whichismountedoutside
the air stream. A motor mounting plate on the front of the ventilator provides easy access to the inside
of the fan and the duct connections. The motor and impeller are mounted on the motor mounting
plate which is secured to the fan housing with six bolts. The stack connections are of the slip connection
type. The ventilator can be mounted on vibration insulated support legs or from ceiling mounting brackets.
Listings The RSIB model is tested and listed to UL378, Standard for Draft Equipment, UL705, Standard for Power
Venters, and CSA-CAN3-B255-M81, Mechanical Flue Gas Exhausters. The Canadian listing does not
cover use with condensing appliances. This installation manual does not contain any system design
documentation. Please refer to the system design manuals or instructions by EXHAUSTO. The RSIB is a
component in the CASI, Chimney Automation System.
Restrictions The RSIB Power Venter should only be used with appliances operating on Natural Gas, LP-Gas/Butane
or fuel oil (#2 through #6). It should never be used with incinerators, incinerating toilets or solid-
fuel burning equipment. When used with multiple appliances and utilizing a Fan Speed Control or
a Variable Frequency Drive to control the fan speed, a barometric damper should be installed to prevent
overdraft conditions, unless the appliance(s) has a draft hood or a draft diverter. This limitation does
notapplywhenusedwithanEBC12orEBC30,PressureControl.Thetemperatureoftheuegases
going through the Power Venter should never exceed 575°F (300°C).
