The clearances listed below are MINIMUM distances. Measure the clearance to both the
appliance and the chimney connector. The
farthest distance is correct if the two clearances do not coincide. For example, if the appliance
is set as indicated in one of the diagrams but the

surface like a wood floor. This unit can also be
installed directly on carpeting or vinyl when the
bottom pedestal cover plate (provided with the
unit) is installed.
This appliance may be installed only with the
clearances as shown in the situations pictured.
Do not combine clearances from one type of
installation with another in order to achieve
closer clearances.
Use the minimum clearances shown in the
diagrams below:

VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The DV Stove Horizontal Vent Kit and the
Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent System Model
DV-GS venting systems, in combination with
the Classic Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove,
C34B-NG/C34G-NG and C34B-LP/C34G-LP,
have been tested and listed as direct vent
heater systems by Warnock Hersey.
If converting a Class-A Metal Chimney or Masonry Chimney to a Direct Vent system, see
instructions on pages 22 and 23.
The C34 uses the "balanced flue" technology
Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer
pipe draws outside combustion air into the
combustion chamber thereby eliminating the
need to use heated room air for combustion and
losing warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be con-
nected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building, and
never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's
own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
IMPORTANT
Read all instructions carefully before starting
the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may create a fire or other safety hazard,
and will void the warranty. Be sure to check the
venting and clearance to combustible requirements. Consult your local building codes before
beginning installation.
The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the Exterior Vent
Terminal Locations diagram on page 10.
INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
These venting systems are engineered products that have been designed and tested for
use with the C34B-NG/C34G-NG and the C34BLP/C34G-LP. The warranty will be voided and
serious fire, health or other safety hazards may
result from any of the following actions:
1) Installation of any damaged Direct Vent
component
2) Unauthorized modification of the Direct Vent
System
3) Installation of any component part not manufactured or approved by Simpson DuraVent or Fireplace Products International
Ltd.
4) Installation other than as instructed by Simpson Dura-Vent and Fireplace Products International Ltd.
Warning: Always maintain required
clearances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent a fire hazard. Do
not fill air spaces with insulation.
Be sure to check the vent termination clearance
requirements from decks, windows, soffits,
gas regulators, air supply inlets and public
walkways as specified in the Exterior Vent
Terminal Locations on page 10 and in your local
building codes.
The gas appliance and vent system must
be vented directly to the outside of the
building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gasburning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent
system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR
THE INSTALLER
VENT RESTRICTOR
POSITION
Vent restriction is required for certain venting
installations, see the diagrams on page 13 to
determine if they are required for your installation.
The vent restrictor has three settings: "C"
Center (factory setting), "L" Left, and "R" Right.
Simply loosen the screws and push the vent
restrictor plate to the correct position. Tighten
the screws.
1) Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.
2) Exercise extreme caution when using ladders or on roof tops.
3) Be aware of electrical wiring locations in
walls and ceilings.
