VENT INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION PLANNING
There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the
wall thickness.
FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
Select the amount of vertical rise desired. All horizontal run of venting
must have
You may use up to three 90° elbows in this vent configuration. See
Horizontal Termination Configurations on pages 21 and 22.
FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION
Measure the distance from the fireplace floor to the ceiling. Add the
ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the roof line.
NOTE: You may use two 45° elbows in place of a 90° elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when using
45° elbows. The appliance is approved for use with three 90° elbows maximum or a combination of 90°
and 45° elbows up to a maximum of 270°.
1
/4" rise for every 12" of run towards the termination.
Never run the vent pipe level
or downward. This may cause
excessive temperatures which
could cause a fire.
WARNING
For two-story applications, firestops are required at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe and
elbows will be required.
You may use a chase with a vent termination with exposed pipe on the exterior of the house. See Installing Vent System in a Chase below. If pipe is enclosed in chase, it is not exposed.
It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust.
Certain limitations apply to vent configurations and must be strictly followed.
INSTALLING A VENT SYSTEM IN AN OUTSIDE CHASE
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose venting that runs along the outside of a building. A chase is required
for such venting.
Treatment of firestops and construction of the chase may vary from building type
to building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local
building codes. You must follow all local building codes.
NOTICE
When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you would the
outside walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Insulation
should be considered a combustible material. Maintain proper clearances to all
combustible materials.

HOW TO USE THE VENT GRAPH
The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the following
vent installation instructions to determine the relationship between
the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe
exiting through the outer wall. Using this dimension on the
Sidewall Vent Graph below, locate the point intersecting with
the slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the
bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the fireplace in
accordance with same.
Example: If the vertical dimension from the floor of the
fireplace is 11' (3.4m) the horizontal run to the face of the
outer wall must not exceed 14' (4.3m).
Example: If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit
is 7’ (2.14m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer
wall must not exceed 8

HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATIONS
Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance
between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.
The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal
side wall venting, will help to determine the various dimensions allowable.
See Figure 20.
NOTE: Horizontal sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3"
clearances to combustibles at the top of the flue and 1" clearance at the
sides and bottom until the flue penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1"
clearance all around the flue is acceptable at this point of penetration.
Vertical sections of this vent system require a minimum of 1" clearance
to combustibles on all sides of the pipe.
When vent exits through foundations less than 20" below outcrop, the termination must be flush up with outcropped wall above.
It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of
offsets and horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue
collar of the fireplace (or the top of the Transition Elbow) to the face of the
outer wall.

When installing the appliance as a rear vent unit, the 90° or 45° transition elbow
attached directly to the rear of the unit is NOT INCLUDED in the following criteria and
calculations, and unless specifically mentioned should be ignored when calculating
venting layouts.
WARNING
• The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall installation is three (3). See Figure 21.
• If a 90° elbow is fitted directly on top of the fireplace flange the maximum horizontal vent run before the termination or
a vertical rise is 36” (914 mm). See Figure 22.

VENT INSTALLATION
HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATION
(Continued)
• If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level height
maintained) the horizontal vent length is reduced by 36".
See Figures 21 and 22, page 20. This does not apply if the
90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise.
See Figure 24.
Example: According to the vent graph (page 20) the
maximum horizontal vent length in a system with a 7.5'
vertical rise is 20’ (6m) and if a 90° elbow is required in
the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17' (5.2 m).
In Figures 23 and 24, Dimension A plus B must not be greater
than 17' (5.2m).
• The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per side
wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed
in either the vertical or horizontal run.
• For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length
of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18" (45cm). This
does not apply if the 45° elbows are installed on the vertical
part of the vent system.
• The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system is 270°.
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended.
It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm) below grade level. The 7" (178mm) is measured from the center of the
horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
Ensure that sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a
window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area.
If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24" vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 24” vertical pipe is
36". This measurement is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. See the
Sidewall Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 24".
1. Establish vent hole through the wall. See Figure 16, page 18.
2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16" below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window well (not supplied).
Refill hole with 12" of coarse gravel leaving a clearance of approximately 4" below snorkel. See Figure 26.
3. Install vent system.
4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe coming through the wall.
5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied) around the 4" and 7" snorkel collars.
6. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to the wall.
7. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4" clearance below snorkel. See Figure 26.
• Do not back fill around snorkel.
• A clearance of at least 4" must be
maintained between the snorkel and
WARNING
If the foundation is recessed, use recess brackets (not supplied) for securing lower portion of the snorkel. Fasten brackets to
wall first, then secure to snorkel with self drilling #8x1/2 sheet metal screws. It will be necessary to extend vent pipes out as
far as the protruding wall face. See Figure 27.

• A minimum of an 8' (2.5m) vertical rise is
required.
• Two sets of 45°elbows offsets may be used within
the vertical sections. From 0 to a maximum of 8'
(2.5 m) of vent pipe can be used between elbows.
See Figure 29.
• The maximum angular variation allowed in the
system is 270°. See Figure 29.
• The minimum height of the vent above the highest point of penetration through the roof is 2'
(610mm).
1. Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joist,
roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system,
consider an offset. See Figure 30 to avoid cutting load bearing
members.
VENT INSTALLATION
Roof
Flashing
For optimal flame appearance, a restrictor disk is necessary on straight
vertical runs of 20' of more.
• Runs may not incorporate elbows.
• The disk is part number 45D0551 and is included in installa-
tion manual packet.
• Drop the disk into a 4" inner collar before installing the first
section of flue or install at the last section before installing
the termination.
• An additional disk may be installed on runs of 35' or more.
Rotate disks perpendicular to each other.
NOTE: Pay special attention to these installation instructions
for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when
passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic
rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also
note maximum vertical rise of the venting system and any
maximum horizontal offset limitations. Offsets must fall
within the parameters shows in Figure 13, page 20.
2. Set fireplace in desired location. Drop a line plumb down from
the ceiling to the position of the flue exit. Mark the center point
where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small locating
hole a this point.

2
" (241mm x 241mm) hole must be measured on the horizontal. Actual length may be larger depending
on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1" minimum clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials. (Insulation
should be considered a combustible material).
4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole.
NOTE: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet.
Use wall straps for this purpose. See Figure 28, page 23. Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of
90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of the flue gases and intake air.
5. Place the flashing over the pipe section(s) extending through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof and
framing with roofing nails. Be sure roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing. There must be a 1" clearance
from the vent pipe to combustible materials.
6. Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements.
NOTE: You must increase vent height for steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining roof lines, steep
pitched roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing
the vent height may solve this problem.
NOTE: If the vent pipe passes through any occupied areas above the first floor, including storage spaces
and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construction
material. Make sure to meet the minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the
required clearance spaces with insulation.
