envelope. Never vent to another room or inside a
building. Make sure you use the vent pipe that is
specified. Make sure that the vent is properly sized
and is of adequate height to provide the proper draft.
Inspect the venting system annually for blockage
and any signs of deterioration.

These models have been tested and certified for use with SIMPSON DURAVENT DIRECT VENT TYPE "GS" PIPE FOR GAS
STOVES. SECURITY VENTING SYSTEMS (SECURE VENT) Kits are available for vertical venting or horizontal venting. It is
recommended that a bead of RTV High Temperature Silicone be applied to each outer vent joint and milpac to each inner joint
before installation.
This model has also been tested for horizontal venting installations when using SHERWOOD INDUSTRIES LTD. horizontal
venting kit PART # EG 40-500
A MINIMUM VERTICAL LENGTH OF 24" TO THE FIRST 90 DEGREE ELBOW IS REQUIRED. WITH THIS MINIMUM
VERTICAL RISE, HORIZONTAL RUNS OF FROM ONE TO FOUR FEET ARE PERMITTED TO REACH THE OUTSIDE VENT
TERMINATION.
BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION TAKE CARE TO ENSURE AN APPROPRIATE OUTSIDE LOCATION FOR THE
VENT TERMINATION CAN BE ACCOMMODATED. FOLLOW THE VENT LENGTH DIAGRAM PRECISELY.
VENTING TERMINALS CANNOT BE RECESSED INTO A WALL OR SIDING.
If extra elbows are being used, overall allowable length will be reduced by 3 ft. per additional elbow
There are two basic types of Direct Vent System installations. The two types of installations are:
Vertical Termination Horizontal Termination
6
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 (254mm), 1 ½ inches
clearance to combustibles must be maintained. Select the amount of vertical rise desired for “vertical-to-horizontal” type
installations. To determine the length of vent pipe required for vertical installations, measure the distance from the appliance
flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise through the attic or second story, and allow for sufficient vent
height above the roofline. For two story applications, A firestop is required at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic,
additional pipe and elbows will be required. To connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet, a twist-lock adapter is
built into the appliance at the factory.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
STEP 1. Set the appliance in the desired location. Check to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when the
venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the appliance.
STEP 2. Direct vent pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock connections. Assemble the desired combination of
black pipe and elbows to the appliance adapter with pipe seams oriented towards the wall or floor, as much out of
view as possible.
Place a bead of Mil-Pac on the outer edge of the inner exhaust pipe (non-flared end). Place a bead of high temperature
silicone on the male edge of the outer pipe. Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible from the
outside, on black pipe. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends as shown in FIG-10.
NOTE:
(1) Twist-lock procedure: four indentations, located on the female
end of the pipes and fittings, are designed to slide straight onto
the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings, by orienting the
four pipe indentations so they match and slide into the four
entry slots on the male end.
(2) Horizontal runs of vent pipe must be supported every three
feet. Wall straps are available for this purpose.
FIG. 10
FIG.10
STEP 3. With the pipe attached to the stove into the correct location, mark the wall for a 10 inch x 10 inch square hole. The
center of the square hole should match the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10-inch x 10-inch
hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material i.e. masonry or concrete, a 7-inch hole is acceptable.
STEP 4. Position the horizontal vent termination in the center of the 10-inch square hole, and attach to the exterior wall with
the four screws provided. Before attaching the Vent Termination to the exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening
mastic around the edges, so as to make a seal between the termination and the wall. The arrow on the vent
termination should be pointing up, insure that the proper clearances to combustible materials are maintained.
STEP 5. Before connecting the horizontal run of the vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the black decorative wall thimble
cover over the vent pipe.
STEP 6
. Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall, carefully inserting the vent pipe into the cap assembly. It is
important that the vent pipe extend into the vent cap a sufficient distance with a minimum of 1 ¼inch overlap. Secure
the connection between the vent cap pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal straps extending from
the vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the
straps to the vent pipe. Bend any remaining portion of the sheet metal straps back towards the vent cap, so the
decorative wall thimble FIG-13 will conceal it.
7
STEP 7. Slide the decorative wall thimble up to the wall surface and attach with the screws provided. Apply decorative brass
or chrome trim if desired. FIG-14.
NOTES
NOTES:
: (1) The four wood screws provided should be replaced with the appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or
other types of siding.
(2) For buildings with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding standoff (950), should be installed between the vent cap and the
exterior wall FIG-12. Attach the vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal termination. The vinyl siding standoff prevents
excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding material. Note that the horizontal vent termination bolts onto the
flat portion of the vinyl siding standoff. (shaded area in FIG-12), so that an air space will exist between the wall and
the vent termination.
(1) The horizontal run of vent pipe must be level and should have a ¼ inch rise for every one foot of run towards
the termination. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperature and may present the
possibility of a fire
(2) The location of the horizontal vent termination on the exterior wall must not be easily blocked or obstructed.
Termination clearances are as follows:
(3) When installing a vent pipe in chase the minimum clearance to combustibles is 4” inches (100 mm).
