‘Direct Vent’ describes a sealed combustion system in which
incoming outside air for combustion and outgoing exhaust enter
and exit through two separate concentric passages within the
same sealed vent system. The system does not use room air
to support combustion. The Direct Vent system permits the gas
appliance to be vented directly to the outside atmosphere through
the side of the house or vertically through the roof. Conventional
venting systems (Natural Vent) take air from the room for combustion and vent the exhaust vertically through the roof to the
atmosphere.
This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the U.S.
and Canada. Check local codes for natural vent requirements.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manufactured
(mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or local codes.

Vent Termination Clearances
When planning the installation, consider the location
of the vent terminal and clearances. Some of the most
common clearances to keep in mind are shown in Figure 9.
Important: All vent clearances must be maintained.
Check your vent termination clearances against
Figures 9 and 10.
The vent should be placed so that people cannot be
burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when
the stove is operating.
The vent termination should be located where it cannot
be damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn
mowers or snowblowers and it should be located away
from areas where it could become blocked by snow,
etc.
Some considerations are:
• Obstructions or impediments to venting.
• Nearby combustible materials that could come into
contact with combustion exhaust gases.
• Other nearby openings {within 9” (229 mm)} through
which exhaust gas could reenter the building.
• All vegetation within 3’ (914 mm) that may interfere
with the draft.
Other factors that influence where the installation will
be sited include the location of outside walls, where
additional heat may be desired in the home, where the
family members gather most regularly, and perhaps
most importantly, the distance limitations of the venting
system.
IMPORTANT
Direct Vent Only
• The horizontal termination must not be recessed
into the exterior wall or siding.
• Horizontal vent runs must be level toward the
vent termination.
• Clearances around the vent termination must be
maintained.
•For installations using Simpson DuraVent pipe,
parallel installations with minimum wall clearance
have restricted access for connecting the Horizontal Vent Cap straps to the vent pipe. See the
maker’s instructions for recommended installation procedures.
ST132a
9
Jefferson Direct Vent/Natural Vent Gas Heater
Vent Termination Clearances
Your stove is approved to be vented either through the
side wall, or vertical through the roof.
• CFM Corporation does not require any opening
for inspection of vent pipe.
• Only CFM Corporation and Simpson DuraVent
venting components specifically approved and
labelled for this stove may be used.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipes and
combustible materials is one (1”) inch (25 mm),
except where stated otherwise.
• Venting terminals shall not be recessed into a wall or
siding.
• Horizontal venting must be installed on a level plane
without an inclining or declining slope.
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes,
garden sheds, fences, decks or utility buildings within
24” from the front of the termination hood.
Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow
or ice build up may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow
blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent
termination area.
Location of Vent Termination
It is imperative the vent termination be located observing the minimum clearances as shown in Figure 9.
