B. Construct 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. Vapor 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 be sheetrocked and
taped (or the use of an equivalent method) for maximum air
tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the ceiling fi restops should be
caulked with high temperature caulk to seal gaps. Gas line
holes and other openings should be caulked with high temperature 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.
WARNING
Fire Risk
• Construct chase to all clearance
specifi cations in manual.
• Locate and install appliance to all

Do NOT connect this gas appliance to a
chimney fl ue serving a separate solid-fuel
or gas burning appliance.
• Vent this appliance directly outside.
• Use separate vent system for this
appliance.
May impair safe operation of this appliance or
other appliances connected to the fl ue.
B. Use of Elbows
CAUTION
ALL vent configuration specifications 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, 1 ft of diagonal is equal to 8.5 in. horizontal run
and 8.5 in. vertical run. A length of straight pipe is allowed
between two 45° elbows (see Figure 5.1).

C. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent diagrams were made using the following standards.
• Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length
of pipe (see Figure 5.2).
• Measurements are made from the appliance outer wrap,
not from the standoffs.
• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (fl ange of termination cap) (see Figure
4.1).
• Vertical terminations are measured to top of last pipe
before termination cap.
• Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.

WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
Do NOT pack insulation or other combustibles between fi restops.
• ALWAYS maintain specifi ed clearances around venting and fi restop systems.
• Install fi restops as specifi ed.
Failure to keep insulation or other material away from vent pipe may cause fi re.
The fi rst 90° elbow MUST be a starter elbow.
To replace the fi rst starter elbow with two 45° elbows, refer to Figure 5.4 All other 90° elbows can be replaced with two 45°
elbows.
General Rules:
• SUBTRACT 3 ft from the total H measurement for each 90° elbow installed horizontally.
SUBTRACT 1-1/2 ft from the total H measurement for each 45° elbow installed horizontally.
• A maximum of three 90° elbows (or six 45° elbows) may be used in any vent confi guration. Some elbows may be installed
horizontally. See Figure 5.6.
• Elbows may be placed back to back anywhere in the system as long as the fi rst 90° elbow is a starter elbow except as
shown in Figure 5.4.
• When penetrating a combustible wall, a wall shield fi restop must be installed.
• When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling fi restop must be installed.
• Horizontal runs of vent do not require vertical rise; horizontal runs may be level.
Top Vent—Horizontal Termination—One Elbow
Note: ICON direct vent appliances require the use of vinyl
soffit shield (ICONDV-VSS) whever the unit is terminated
horizontally in a home with vinyl siding.

B. Wall Penetration Framing
• Wherever a combustible wall is penetrated, the hole must
be framed with a wall shield fi restop. This shield maintains
minimum clearances and restricts cold air infi ltration.
• If the wall being penetrated is of noncombustible materials
(material which will not ignite or burn, or has a UL fi re rating
of zero), a 9 in. (229 mm) diameter hole is acceptable.
• Whenever a wall is penetrated the wall shield fi restop
is only required on one side and no heat shield is
necessary.
• If your local inspector requires the wall shield fi restop on
both sides of the wall, then both wall shield fi restops must
have a heat shield attached to them.
Air space clearance to
bottom and sides of
horizontal pipe must be
at least 1 in. (25 mm)
No combustible
framing to be
located within
shaded area.
1-1/2 in.
(38 mm)
WALL
Note: Heat shields MUST overlap by a minimum of 1-1/2 in. (38 mm). The
heat shield is designed to be used on a wall 4 in. to 7-1/4 in. (102 mm to
184 mm) thick. If wall thickness is less than 4 in. (102 mm) the existing heat
shields must be field trimmed. If wall thickness is greater than 7-1/4 in. (184
mm) a DVP-HSM-B will be required.

C. Install the Ceiling Firestop
• Frame an opening 10 in. by 10 in. whenever the vent
system penetrates a ceiling/fl oor (see Figure 6.4).
• Frame the area with the same sized lumber as used in
ceiling/fl oor joist.
• When installing a top vent vertical termination appliance
the hole should be directly above the appliance, unless
the fl ue is offset.
• The ceiling fi restop may be installed above or below the
ceiling. Refer to Figure 6.5.
• Secure with three fasteners on each side.
• Do not pack insulation around the vent. Insulation must
be kept away from the pipe.
