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.
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. 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. Figure 5.1.
• 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
venting passes through the roof.
• Follow instructions provided with the venting for instal-
lation of these items.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
Asphyxiation Risk.
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.

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.(6mm) rise.

D. How to Use the Vent Graph
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 center line
of the fl ue vent to the center of the 90° elbow is 7 ft. (2 m),
the horizontal run to the outer wall fl ange must not exceed
13 ft. 2 in. (5m).
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 10 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).
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. max.)

• Ensure vent components are locked together correctly.
• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.
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.
Wall thickness may vary. Remember to include wall
thickness in minimum clearances when figuring venting
lengths for your installation needs.
Note: Female ends of direct vent pipe/elbows are
designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent
pipes by orienting the pipe indentations so they match and
slide into the entry slots on the male ends, see Figure 5.5.
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. They may be located by
examining the inside of the female ends.

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 5.6. Cut and frame the
hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If
the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible
material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178mm)
diameter hole is acceptable.
Center of Hole
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 5.7.

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,
Figure 4.4 on page 9.
(3) For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior
of the building, a snorkel kit 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.

NOTES:
(1) The four wood screws provided should be replaced with
appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or
other types of sidings.
(2) A termination cap with a built-in vinyl siding standoff is
highly recommended on a building with vinyl siding. 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 356mm) square around the pilot
hole in the siding. Figure 5.8.

(NOTE: Some termination caps may cause the vent
pipe to be off center on flashing). Ensure that proper
clearances to combustible materials are maintained.
If you are not using an approved termination cap with
a built-in standoff on a building with vinyl siding, a
vinyl siding standoff should be installed between the
termination cap and the exterior wall (Figure 5.9).
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for attaching the
vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal termination cap.
The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from
possibly melting the vinyl siding material. . 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 5.10.
Note: The attachment from the vent pipe to the vent cap
must be sealed with silicone. Venting terminals shall not be
recessed into a wall or siding.

Step 1.
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. Figure 5.17 on page
17. 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 on page 11.
40 ft. (12.19m)
Maximum
Figure 5.12
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 5.13 on page
16, to avoid cutting loadbearing members. When location is
determined, drill small hole.
NOTE: Maximum vertical rise allowable is 40 ft. (12m)
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).

specified. Continue to assemble lengths of pipe and elbows
necessary to reach from the ceiling support box/wall thimble
up through the roof line. Galvanized pipe and elbows may
be utilized in the attic, as well as above the roofline. The
galvanized finish is desirable above the roofline, due to its
higher corrosion resistance.

Step 3.
To install the round support box/wall thimble cover in a flat
ceiling, cut a 10 in. (254mm) square hole in the ceiling,
centered on the hole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole as
shown in Figure 5.14.
NOTE:
(1) If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions,
it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 ft.
(914mm) to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and
possible separation. Wall straps are available for this
purpose, Figure 5.13.
(2) Whenever possible, use 45° elbows, instead of 90°
elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow
of flue gases and intake air.
Step 6.
Slip the flashing over the pipe section(s) protruding through
the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof with
roofing nails. Ensure the roofing material overlaps the top
edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 5.15. Verify that
the chimney is the required height above the roof. See roof
pitch table, Figure 4.3, on page 8 of this manual.

box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their
fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.
Step 5.
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole placed in
the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles, as
Figure 5.15
Step 7.
Continue to assemble pipe sections until the height of the
vent (before adding the termination cap) meets the minimum
code requirements as outlined in the current CAN/CGA-B149
Installation Codes (in Canada), the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in USA), or local codes. Note that
for steep roof pitches, the vent height must be increased.
See Roof Pitch Table Figure 4.3 on page 8. In high wind
conditions, nearby trees adjoining rooflines, steep pitched
roofs, and other similar factors can result in poor draft, or
down drafting. In these cases increasing the vent height or
switching to the high wind termination cap may solve this
problem.
