Vent Information
A. Venting Components
In order to comply with applicable codes and product
warranties, use only following venting components:
• Hearth & Home Technologies (HHT)
• Security Chimney's Secure Vent Chimney System
• Selkirk Metalbestos
• AmeriVent
• Simpson Dura-Vent (SDV)
DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED VENTING
COMPONENTS. Refer to the venting manufacturer’s
instructions.
This product is approved to be vented either horizontally,
through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You may
vent through a Class A or masonry chimney if an approved
adapter is used.
This appliance is a direct vent heater. All combustion air must
come directly from the outside of the building. The vent pipe
for this unit consists of an inner and an outer pipe. The inner
pipe carries the appliance exhaust out of the system, and the
outer pipe brings fresh combustion air into the appliance.
•A round support box/wall thimble or heat shield is
required when the venting passes through a combustible wall.
•A support box or ceiling fi restop is required when the
venting passes through a ceiling.
• Roof fl ashing and a storm collar are required when vent-
ing passes through the roof.
• Follow instructions provided with the venting for installation of these items.
B. Use of Elbows
CAUTION
ALL vent confi guration specifi cations MUST be followed.
• This product is tested and listed to these
specifi cations.
• Appliance performance will suffer if specifi cations are
not followed.
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent aspects
when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the vertical
aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect. (See Figure
5.1.)
Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90° elbow. On
45° runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 in. (216mm)
horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216mm) vertical run. A length of
straight pipe is allowed between two elbows. (See Figure
5.1.)

other appliances connected to the fl ue.
Quadra-Fire • Columbia Bay • 250-5195 Rev. K
C. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements were made using the
following standards.
• Pipe measurements are from center line to center line.
• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside of
the mounting surface (fl ange of termination cap). See
Figure 4.1 on page 8.
• Vertical terminations are measured to the top of the last
pipe before termination cap.
• Horizontal pipe installed level with 1/4 in. rise.
10/08
D. How to Use the Vent Graph E. Venting Guidelines
1. Measure the vertical distance from the center line of the
flue pipe to the center of the 90° elbow. On the graph
below, draw a horizontal line from that measurement
on the vertical axis across until it intersects with the
slanted line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to
the bottom of the graph.
3. The point at which this line meets the bottom line of the
graph is the maximum length of the horizontal run.
EXAMPLE 1: If the vertical dimension from the center line
of the fl ue vent to the center of the 90° elbow is 7 ft. (2m),
the horizontal run to the outer wall fl ange must not exceed
13 ft. (4m).
EXAMPLE 2: If the vertical dimension from the center line
of the fl ue vent is 21 ft. (6m), the horizontal run to the outer
wall fl ange must not exceed 9 ft. (3m).
4. Each 90° elbow is equivalent to 3 ft. (914mm) of vent
pipe and each 45° elbow is equivalent to 1 ft. (305mm)
of vent pipe, and must be subtracted from the vent pipe
run. A single horizontal to vertical 90° elbow is already
calculated into the allowable 15 ft. (5m) run. Each
additional 90° elbow reduces the maximum horizontal
distance by 3 ft. (914mm).
NOTES
The maximum horizontal vent run is 15 ft. (5m) when the
vertical vent rise is 10 ft. (3m).
The minimum horizontal vent run is 11 in. (279mm).
Horizontal sections require a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise for every 12
ft. (305mm) of horizontal travel.
Exterior Vent Diameter = 6 5/8 in. (168mm); Inner Vent Diam-
eter = 4 in. (101mm)
Horizontal sections require noncombustible support every 3
ft. (914mm), e.g. wall straps.
A minimum 2 ft. (610mm) vertical rise is required before the
90 degree elbow.
NOTE: If your installation falls within the gray-shaded area
on graph, see information on Vertical damper adjustment in
Section 8. (In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the word
damper shall be replaced with the words flue restrictor.)
EXAMPLE: The use of 3 elbows would reduce the allowable
horizontal run to 9 ft. (3 -1 = 2 elbows x 3 ft. = 6 ft.; 15 ft.
max. - 6 ft. = 9 ft. maximum).

Step 1.
Determine the desired location of the appliance. Check to
ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the way when
the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may
want to adjust the location of the appliance.
WARNING
Fire Hazard.
Exhaust Fume Risk.
Impaired Performance of Appliance.
• Ensure vent components are locked together correctly.
• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.
Figure 5.4
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
Combustion Fume Risk.
Use vent run supports per installation instructions.
Connect vent sections per installation instructions.
• Maintain all clearances to combustibles.
• Do NOT allow vent to sag below connection
point to appliance.
• Maintain specifi ed slope (if required).
Improper support may allow vent to sag or separate.
Step 3.
For installations using a round support box/wall thimble
(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for a
10 in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole. The center
of the square hole should line up with the center line of the
horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure 5.5 on the next page.
Cut and frame the hole in the exterior wall where the vent will
be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
noncombustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7
in. (178mm) diameter hole is acceptable.
Step 2.
Direct vent pipe is designed with a locking connection. To
connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet, a
twist-lock adapter is built into the appliance at the factory.
Remember to include wall thickness in minimum clearances
when figuring the measurements for your installation
needs.
Note: Direct vent pipe is designed to slide straight onto
the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings by orienting the
pipe indentations so they match and slide into the entry slots
on the male ends, see Figure 5.4. 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 may not be visible from
the outside, on the pipe or fittings. They may be located by
examining the inside of the female ends.

NOTE:
(1) Installation requires a minimum of 6 in. (152mm)
horizontal run of vent with a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise run towards
the termination. Each 1 ft. (305mm) of horizontal venting
must include a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise. Never allow the vent
to run downward. This could cause high temperatures
and may present the possibility of a house or structure
fire.
(2) The location of the horizontal termination cap on an
exterior wall must meet all local and national building
codes, and must not be easily blocked or obstructed,
see Figure 4.4 on page 9.

(3) For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior
of the building, the HHT RHVK snorkel kit (Part #844-
8921) is available with a 14 in. (356mm) and a 36 in.
(914mm) tall snorkel termination cap. Follow the
same installation procedures as used for standard
horizontal terminations. If the snorkel termination must
be installed below grade (i.e. basement application),
proper drainage must be provided to prevent water from
entering the snorkel termination. Do not backfill around
snorkel termination.
Step 4.
Position the horizontal termination cap in the center of the 10
in. x 10 in. (254mm x 254mm) square hole and run a bead
of non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, so as to
make a seal between it and the wall, attach termination cap
to the exterior wall with the four wood screws provided. The
arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up (Figure 5.6)
10/08
Figure 5.7
(NOTE: If you are installing termination cap HHW2, the
pipe will be off center on the flashing). Ensure that proper
clearances to combustible materials are maintained. If
you are using an approved termination cap other than
HHW2 (part #841-0670) on a building with vinyl siding,
a vinyl siding standoff should be installed between the
vent cap and the exterior wall (Figure 5.8, on the next
page). Attach the vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal
vent termination. The vinyl siding standoff prevents
excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding
material. Vent terminal shall not be recessed into a
wall or siding. Remove siding from the area where the
standoff will be located..

Step 5.
Place the wall thimble cover over the pipe assembly and
slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall,
carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly.
It is important that the vent pipe extend into the vent cap a
sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap
of 1-1/4 in. (32mm). Secure the connection between the vent
pipe and the vent termination cap by attaching the two sheet
metal strips extending from the vent cap assembly into the
outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe section (Figure
5.9).
WARNING
