SELECTING LOCATION
To determine the safest and most efcient
location for your replace, consider the fol-
lowing guidelines:
1. The location must allow for proper clearances (see Figure 1).
• Flush installation is recommended where
living space is limited.
• Projected installation may be ideal for
a new addition to an existing nished
wall.
• Corner installation makes use of a space
that may not normally be used and pro-
vides a wider and more efcient range
for radiant heat transfer.
2. Consider a location where the replace
would not be affected by drafts, air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids the cutting of joists
or roof rafters makes ventilation installation easier.

termination that is over 3 ft., support pipe
every 3 ft. using metal wall straps. Vertical
to horizontal pipe must be kept at a 1 ft. to
4 ft. ratio with a maximum run of no more
than 20 ft.
If an offset is necessary in attic to avoid
obstruction, it is important to support vent
pipe every 3 ft. to avoid excessive stress
on elbows and possible separation (see
Figure 8).

Horizontal Termination Congurations
Figures 9 through 13, pages 12 and 13 show
different congurations and alternatives for
venting with horizontal termination. Each g-
ure includes a chart with critical minimum and
maximum dimensions which MUST be met.
IMPORTANT: Remember that a horizontal
run of venting must have a 1/4" rise for every
12" of run toward termination.
WARNING: Never run vent
downward as this may cause
excessive temperatures which
could cause a re. Operation of
improperly installed and maintained venting system could
result in serious injury, property
damage or loss of life.
