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.)

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 distance from the top of appliance 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 top of the

appliance is to the center of the 90° elbow is
7 ft. (2m), the horizontal run to the outer wall
flange must not exceed 12 ft. (4m).

Example 2: If the vertical dimension from the top of the

appliance is 21 ft. (6m), the horizontal run
to the outer wall flange 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 vent pipe
run. A single vertical to horizontal 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) with a minimum
vertical vent rise of 10 ft. (3m).

The minimum horizontal vent run is 11 in. (279mm).
Minimum wall thickness is 4 in. (102mm). Maximum wall

thickness is 20 in. (508mm).
Horizontal sections require a 1/4 in. (6mm) rise for every 12

in. (305mm) of horizontal travel.
Exterior Vent Diameter = 6 5/8 in. (168mm); Inner V ent Diam-

eter = 4 in. (101mm)
Horizontal sections require noncombustible support every 3

ft. (914mm), e.g. wall straps.

Maximum 90° elbows for horizontal termination is 3.
Maximum 90° elbows for vertical termination is 4.

NOTE: I F YOUR INSTALLA TION FALLS WITHIN A SHADED
AREA ON THE GRAPH, THE DAMPER MUST BE USED.
(In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the word damper
shall be replaced with the words flue restrictor.)

Example: The use of 3 elbows would reduct the

alowable horizontal run to 9 ft. (3 - 1 = 2
elbows x 3 ft. = 6 ft.; 15 ft. max. - 6 ft. = 9
ft. max.)

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.

WARNING

Fire Risk.
Explosion 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 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 vent termination 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 8.

(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).

(2) Termination cap HHW2 (Part #841-0670) is highly

recommended on a building with vinyl siding, as the
vinyl siding standoff is built in. The pilot hole will be 2 in.
(51mm) closer to the bottom of the square than the top.
Using a framing square, draw a 14 in. x 14 in. (356mm x

(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 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 termination
cap. The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat
from possibly melting the vinyl siding material. The vent
termination cap 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 termination
cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extend into
the vent termination 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 termination 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).

• Ensure vent components are locked together correctly.

• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

WARNING

Do NOT connect a pipe section to a termination cap without
using the telescoping fl ue section found on the termination cap.

WARNING

Burn Risk.

• Local codes may require installation of a cap

shield to prevent anything or anyone from
touching the hot cap.

Check the installation instructions for required 1 in. (25mm)
clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or
other nearby combustible surfaces. See page 17, Figure

5.16. Check the instructions below for maximum vertical rise
of the venting system, and any maximum horizontal offset
limitations. All offsets must fall within the set parameters of
the vent graph (Figure 5.2) located on page 11.

Figure 5.11

Step 2.

Set the gas appliance in its desired location. Drop a plumb

bob down from the ceiling to the position of the appliance
flue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb
bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling,
and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof.
Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will
obstruct the venting system. You may wish to relocate the
appliance, or to offset, as shown in Figure 5.12 to avoid
cutting loadbearing members. When location is determined,
drill small hole.

NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 40 ft. (12m) See
Figure 5.11.

NOTE: Maximum number of 45° elbows permitted for a

vertical installation is eight, provided their installation
does not decrease maximum allowable horizontal run (as
specified by vent graph, on page 11).

WARNING

Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
Maintain vent clearance to combustibles as speci-

fi ed.

• Do not pack air space with insulation or other
materials.

Failure to keep insulation or other materials away
from vent pipe may cause fi re.
