B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that run
on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to
be, installed inside a chase.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building.
These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements
of local building codes. Local building codes MUST be
checked.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside
walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems.
The chase should not break the outside building envelope
in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor of the chase
should be insulated. V apor and air infi ltration barriers should
be installed in the chase as per regional codes for the rest of
the home. Additionally, in regions where cold air infi ltration
may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be sheetrocked
and taped for maximum air tightness.
T o further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fi restops
should be caulked with high temperature caulk to seal gaps.
Gas line holes and other openings should be caulked with
high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the
appliance is being installed on a cement slab, a layer of
plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting
cold up into the room.

C. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent
diagrams were made using the following standards.
1. Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length
of pipe (see Figure 5.2).
2. Measurements are made from the appliance outer wrap,
not from the standoffs.
3. Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (fl ange of termination cap) (see Figure
4.1).
CAUTION
4. Vertical terminations are measured to bottom of termination cap.
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 450 elbows may be used in place of one 900 elbow. On
450 runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8.5 inches horizontal run and 8.5 inches vertical run. A length of straight
pipe is allowed between two 450 elbows (see Figure 5.1).

D. Use of Flex Vent
The fl ex vent must be supported with
the spacing between support intervals
not exceeding 4 feet, with no more than
½ inch sag between supports.
A support is required at each change
in venting direction, and in any location
where it is necessary to maintain the
necessary clearance to combustibles.
A simple “up and out” installation
(Figure 5.3) requires only enough
support to maintain the necessary
clearance to combustibles. However,
the vent attachment point and the
fi restop location are considered to be
supports.

Fire Risk. Explosion Risk.
Do NOT pack insulation or other combustibles between ceiling fi restops.
• ALWAYS maintain specifi ed clearances around venting and fi restop systems.
• Insta
ll wall shield and ceiling fi restops as specifi ed.
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from vent pipe may cause fi re.
