Field Controls 46245702 Venter

The Field Controls 46245702 (Model PVG-300) is an industrial-grade, indoor-mounted power venter engineered for side-wall venting of natural gas or LP gas appliances. This 115Vac unit provides a reliable solution for residential and light commercial gas furnaces, boilers, and water heaters, especially in high-efficiency conversions or structures without a traditional chimney. Operating with a 4-inch inlet, the PVG-300 is rated at 2.1 Amps and 3000 RPM, featuring a built-in pressure switch and post-purge relay to ensure safe extraction of combustion gases. It is compatible with systems utilizing a 24 VAC control circuit or a 30 millivolt residential gas water heater. For optimal performance, a barometric draft control (such as the Field Controls MG-1) should be utilized between the appliance and the venter to maintain a consistent draft. Built-in thermal protection prevents motor burnout, while the factory-set draft proving switch ensures the burner only activates when sufficient airflow is established.

• Universal Compatibility: Designed for side-wall venting of a single 24 VAC controlled gas appliance or a combination of a furnace/boiler and a 30 millivolt water heater.
• Enhanced Safety: Integrated post-purge control clears the vent line of residual flue gases after the heating cycle concludes.
• Simplified Installation: Compact 115V design with 4-inch inlet/outlet matches standard galvanized pipe, eliminating the need for expensive stainless steel venting.
• Reliable Draft: Rated for up to 310,000 BTU/hr total input, ensuring consistent negative pressure for safer operation than positive-pressure systems.
• ETL Listed: Meets rigorous standards for efficiency and safety in gas-fired heating applications.

What size vent pipe is required for the PVG-300?
This model uses a standard 4-inch inlet. To ensure proper drafting, you must calculate the total equivalent length of the vent pipe based on the appliance's input firing rate and the number of elbows used.

Does this unit include a vent hood?
No, the Field Controls 46245702 is the power venter unit only. A separate exterior vent hood is required for termination. Consider the PVG-PAK kits if you require a complete package including the draft control and hood.

Can I use this for oil-fired appliances?
No, the PVG series is specifically engineered for gas applications. For oil-fired systems, you should specify an SWG series or PVO power venter to handle the specific combustion requirements and flue gas temperatures of oil fuel.
