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 1/4" rise for every 12" of run towards
the termination below 7 place. With 7
of the fi replace, the horizontal run may be level. NEVER run vent piping down.
You may use up to three 90° elbows in this vent confi gura- tion. Refer to Vertical/Horizontal Termination Confi gurations on Page 16.
1
2 feet or more of vertical rise from the fl oor
1
2" of vertical rise from fl oor of fi re-
FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION
Measure the distance from the fi replace fl oor to the ceil- ing. Add the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second story, and allow for suffi cient 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°.
For two-story applications, restops are required at each oor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe
and elbows will be required.
Treatment of fi restops and construction of the chase may vary from building type to building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local
NOTICE
building codes. You must follow all local building codes.
VENTING INSTALLATION
Never run the vent pipe down. This may cause excessive temperatures which could cause a fi re.
WARNING
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 fl ue gas exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent confi gurations
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.
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
NOTICE
material. Maintain proper clearances to all combustible materials.
Always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum clearances to combustibles for horizontal vent pipe are 3" at the top* and 1" at the sides and bottom of the vent system until the pipe penetrates the nearest vertical wall (1" required). A 1" minimum clearance all around the pipe must be maintained at outside wall and on vertical runs. Do not
WARNING
pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This could cause high temperatures and may present a fi re hazard. *Unless the vertical run is 71⁄2 feet or higher from fl oor of fi replace, the clearance for the horizontal run is 1" on all sides.

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 fi re- place in accordance with same.
Example: If the vertical dimension from the oor of the replace is 11' (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face of
the outer wall must not exceed 16' (4.9 m).

VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATIONS
Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the fl ue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent confi gurations 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. Figure 10
NOTE: Horizontal sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" clearances to combustibles at the top of the fl ue and 1" clearance at the sides and bottom until the fl ue penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1" clearance all around the fl ue is acceptable at this
point of penetration. Unless the vertical run is 7
1
2 feet
or higher from fl oor of fi replace, the clearance for the horizontal run is 1" on all sides.
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 fl ush up with outcropped wall above.
It is best to locate the fi replace 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 fl ue collar of the fi replace (or the top of the Transition Elbow) to the face of the fi nished outside wall.
The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall
installation is three (3). Figure 14

If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level
height maintained) the horizontal vent length is reduced
by 36". Refer to Figure 16. This does not apply if the 90°
elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise.
Example: According to the vent graph (page 14) the max-

BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS
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" (178 mm) below grade level. The 7" (178 mm) 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 replace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. See the Sidewall Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 24".

KSTDV Series Gas Fireplace
For optimal fl ame appearance, a restrictor disk is necessary on straight vertical runs of 10' of more.
Runs may not incorporate elbows.
The disk is part number 56D3027 and is included in
installation manual packet.
Drop the disk into a 5" inner collar before installing the
rst section of fl ue or install at the last section before installing the termination. Also disk can be installed from inside the fi rebox into the 5" inner collar.
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 shown in Figures 24 and 25.
2. Set fi replace in desired location. Drop a line plumb down from the ceiling to the position of the fl ue exit. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small locating hole a this point.
Drop a plumb line from the inside of the roof to the ceiling locating hole in the ceiling. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.
FLAT CEILING INSTALLATION
1. Cut a 10 the locating hole as a center point The opening should
be framed to 10
sions as shown in Figure 25 using framing lumber the
same size as the ceiling joist. If the area above the ceiling is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail fi restop from the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling
into the required clearance space. Figure 23. Otherwise, install fi restop below the framed hole. Figure 25

4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole.
NOTE: If an of
fset is needed to avoid obstructions, you
must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet. Use wall
straps for this purpose. Page 18, Figure 21. Whenever
possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the fl ow of the fl ue gases and intake air.
5. Place the fl ashing over the pipe section(s) extending through the roof. Secure the base of the fl ashing to the roof and framing with roofi ng nails. Be sure roofi ng material overlaps the top edge of the fl ashing. 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 as
shown in Figure 26.
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 fi rst fl oor, 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 fi ll any of the required clearance spaces with
insulation.

GAS PIPE INSTALLATION CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the fi replace you are installing. If you have confl icting gas type, do not install fi replace. See dealer where you purchased the fi replace for proper replace according to your gas type.
A qualifi ed installer or service person must connect appliance to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
WARNING
INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED
Before installing fi replace and burner system, make sure you have the items listed below.
External regulator Tee joint
Test gauge connection* Pipe wrench
Sediment trap (recommended)
Equipment shutoff valve*
Piping (check local codes)
Sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas) (supplied by
installer)
approved fl exible gas line with gas connector (if
allowed by local codes — not provided)
* A CSA design-certifi ed equipment shutoff valve with
1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase the CSA design-certifi ed equip- ment shutoff valve from your dealer.
For propane/LP connections only, the installer must supply an external regulator. The external regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11 and 13 inches of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, burner system regulator damage could occur. Install external regulator with the vent
pointing down as shown in Figure 27. Pointing the vent
down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper or copper tubing can be used per National Fuel Code, Section
2.6.3, providing gas meets hydrogen sulfi de limits, and where permitted by local codes. Gas piping system must be sized to provide minimum inlet pressure (listed on data plate)
CAUTION
at the maximum fl ow rate (BTU/hr). Undue pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small.

Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this appliance.
WARNING
INSTALL GAS SUPPLY LINE
NOTE : The gas line connection may be made using 1/2" rigid tubing or an approved fl ex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult your local authorities and the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI.Z223.1, NFPA54. In Canada CSA-B149 (1 or 2) Installation Code.
A listed manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of the appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point should be installed upstream of the appliance.
Figure 28
IMPORTANT: Install main gas valve (equipment shutoff
valve) in an accessible location. The main gas valve is for
turning on or shutting off the gas to the fi replace.
Check your building codes for any special requirements for locating equipment shutoff valve to fi replaces.
GAS PIPE INSTALLATION
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess seal­ant in pipe could result in clogged burner system valves.
We recommend that you install a sediment trap/drip leg in
supply line as shown in Figure 28. Locate sediment trap/
drip leg where it is within reach for cleaning. Install in piping system between fuel supply and burner system. Locate sediment trap/drip leg where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into the burner system gas con­trols. If sediment trap/drip leg is not installed or is installed wrong, burner system may not run properly.
A manual shutoff valve must be installed upstream of the appliance. Union tee and plugged 1/8" NPT pressure tapping point should be installed upstream of the

CAUTION
All Vermont Castings Group Direct Vent Fireplaces have been tested and approved to ANSI / CSA Standards and will operate safely when installed in accordance with this
instruction manual. Read all instructions before starting
installation, then follow these instructions carefully to
maximize replace performance and safety. Report damaged parts to your dealer.
WARNING
Always maintain minimum clearances around vent
systems. Rear/Top Vent Vertical Side wall: Horizontal
sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" (76 mm) clearances to combustibles at the top of the
ue and 1" (25 mm) clearance at the sides and bottom until the ue penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1" clearance all around the ue is acceptable at this point of penetration. If vertical rise is 71⁄2 feet (2.3 m) or higher
when top venting, the clearance to combustibles is 1" on
all sides of the horizontal run. FOR VERTICAL RUNS ONLY, maintain a 1" (25 mm) minimum clearance to all sides. Do not pack the open air spaces around the replace or ue with insulation or other materials. Any
horizontal run must have a 1/4" rise for every one (1)
foot of run towards the vent termination. Never run the vent level or down.
WARNING
• Any common venting of this gas appliance with other
gas appliances is not allowed.
• Do not connect this appliance to a chimney flue
servicing a separate solid fuel-burning appliance.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may create a possible
re hazard and will void the warranty.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• The termination cap MUST be vented directly to the outside. The termination kit MUST NEVER be con­nected to a chimney ue(s) servicing a separate sol­id-fuel burning appliance or any other appliances.
Termination cap MUST NOT be recessed into a wall. Figure 1
The exible vent pipe cannot be intermingled with any
of the rigid vent pipe sections. DO NOT connect two (2) sections of exible vent pipe together to achieve a longer length.
• The installation must conform with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or with the current installation code CSA B149 (in Canada).
These models are approved to use Hearth & Home Technologies Direct Vent Pipe Components and Ver-
mont Castings Group termination kits. Refer to the replace Homeowner’s Manual for approved venting systems or components.
Horizontal runs must be supported every 3 feet (914 mm) using wall straps. Vertical runs must be supported every 8 feet (2.4 m) using wall straps. Slip wall straps loosely on to pipe. Attach straps to framing members using nails or screws. Tighten nut/bolt to secure pipe.
The replace and venting system should be inspected before initial use and at least annually by a qualied eld service person. Inspect the external vent cap on a
regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering
with the airow. Inspect entire venting system to en­sure proper function.
PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

The vent kits described in this manual are tested as part
of a system certied to CSA/ANSI standards to work with DVP vent lengths certied by UL/ULC and SLP termination vent kits approved by CSA.
ASSEMBLE DVP VENT SECTIONS
WARNING
Risk of Fire/Explosion/Asphyxiation! Improper support
may allow vent to sag and separate. Use vent run
supports and connect vent sections per installation
instructions. DO NOT allow vent to sag below connection point to appliance.
Attach the First Vent Component to Starter Collar
To attach the rst vent component to the starting collar of the appliance:
• Slide the male end of the inner ue over the inner collar of the appliance, at the same time, slide the outer ue over the outer collar of the appliance.
• Push the pipe section into the appliance collar until all
the lances have snapped in place.
• Tug slightly on the section to conrm it has completely locked into place.
Assemble Pipe Sections
Insert the inner ue of section A into the ared inner ue of section B. (See gure 2).
Start the outer ue of section A over the outer ue of section B.
Figure 2 Inner/Outer
Once both inner and outer ues are started, press section A onto section B rmly until all lances have snapped into place. Check to make sure they have snapped
together (see Figure 3) and the seams are not aligned
(see Figure 4). Tug slightly on section A to conrm it has completely locked into place.
It is acceptable to use screws no longer than 1 in. to hold outer pipes together. If predrilling screw holes do NOT penetrate inner pipe.
For 90° and 45° elbows that are changing the vent direction from horizontal to vertical, one screw minimum should be
put in the outer ue at the horizontal elbow joint to prevent the elbow from rotating. Use screws no longer than 1 in. If predrilling screw holes do NOT penetrate inner pipe.
Note: The end of the pipe sections with the lances/ tabs on it will face toward the appliance.
Commercial or High-Rise Applications
For installation into a commercial or high-rise application:
All outer pipe joints must be sealed with high temperature aluminum foil tape, including the slip section that connects
directly to the horizontal termination cap.
Only outer pipes are to be sealed. Do not seal the
inner ue. All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer ues shall be sealed in this manner, unless otherwise stated.

WARNING
Risk of Fire/Explosion! DO NOT break seals on slip
sections. Use care when removing termination cap from slip pipe. If slip section seals are broken during removal of the termination cap, vent may leak.
WARNING
Assemble Slip Sections
The outer ue of the slip section should slide over the outer ue of the pipe section and into (inner ue) the last pipe section (see Figure 5) .
Slide together to the desired length, making sure that a
1-1/2 in. outer ue overlap is maintained between the pipe section and slip section.
The pipe and slip section need to be secured by driving two screws through the overlapping portions of the outer
ues using the pilot holes (see Figure 6).
This will secure the slip section to the desired length and
prevent it from separating. The slip section can then be attached to the next pipe section.
If the slip section is too long, the inner and outer ues of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.
Fire Risk Exhaust Fumes Risk
Overlap pipe slip sections at least 1-1/2 inches.
Use pilot holes for screws.
Screws must not exceed 1 in. long.
Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Secure the Vent Sections
Vertical secitons of pipe must be supported every 8 ft. after the 25 ft. maximum unsupported rise. The vent support or plumber’s strap (spaced 120° apart) may be used to do this (see Figure 7).
Horizontal sections of vent must be supported every 5 ft with a vent support or plumber’s strap. (See Figure 8)
WARNING
Risk of Fire/Explosion/Asphyxiation! Improper support
may allow vent to sag and separate. Use vent run
supports and connect vent sections per installation
instructions. DO NOT allow vent to sag below connection point to appliance.

the slip section and secure it with one (1) large band
clamp and three (3) self tapping #10 screws.
14. Carefully form the exible duct so the end attached to the slip section aligns with the 8.25" diameter opening in the DVP-FS 1" restop.
CAUTION
DO NOT crush, distort, or otherwise modify the dimension of the exible vent. Damage could cause appliance to overheat or have performance issues.
15. Install the termination cap to the exterior wall with four (4) #8 x 3" screws provided. In some installations the exible vent may need to pass through the DVP-FS wall shield restop. The exible vent outside diame­ter exceeds the diameter of the hole in the DVP-FS.
The diameter of the inner hole of the DVP-FS will need to be increased from 81⁄4" to 85⁄8". This modica­tion can be made by trimming 3/16" evenly around the
circumference of the inner hole in the DVP-FS. This modication is not required in installations where the DVP slip section projects through the DVP-FS.
16. Install the slip section on the end of the ex onto the collars on the termination cap. Ensure that the two
overlap at least 11⁄2". See page 6.
17. When using aluminum or vinyl siding, nish the edges
of the siding around the termination cap with "J chan­nel" and caulking to prevent water from leaking into
the building.

Installation Instructions
1. A wall square restop MUST BE installed if the vent passes through a ceiling or exterior wall. Cut a 10"
wide x 10" high (254 x 254 mm) opening through the
exterior wall or framing. A wall rectangular restop
(not provided) MUST BE installed if the vent passes
through interior walls. In that case, cut a 10" wide x 12"
high (254 x 305 mm) opening through the wall or fram-
ing. The framing members may need to be reinforced. Position the restop on the hole previously cut and se­cure with screws or nails (not provided). Run vent pipe through restop. The gap between the vent pipe and restop may be sealed.
2. Attach slip section of cap to last vent section. Maintain
11⁄2 in. overlap between slip and vent sections. Make sure the termination cap is installed with the embossed
arrow pointing up.
3. If the house has vinyl siding, mark and cut the vinyl
siding around the pipe so the termination cap can be mounted ush to the wall. Finish the edges of the sid­ing with trim or "J channel" and caulking to prevent
water from leaking into the building. Figure 3
4. Attach the termination cap to the exterior wall using four (4) screws provided.

VERTICAL THROUGH-ROOF FLEX VENTING
1. Flexible UL1777 listed venting may be used in any
venting application where rigid direct vent components
can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances that pertain to the rigid piping apply to
the exible venting. Flex kits may not be modied.
Flex kits may be added to the end of a vent run made
of rigid vent sections using pipe manufacturer’s approved ex to pipe adapters. This may occur only
if doing so does not violate any of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements
or clearance considerations detailed in this manual.
2. The ex adapter starter is used to attach ex venting to the appliance starting collar. It includes a 5" inner and 8" outer unitized ex adapter starter. Figure 1
The ex adapter starter is required to start all ex
runs.
Never install damaged or torn exible venting.
Over tightening clamps may rip, tear, or otherwise
damage exible venting.
The adaptor kit does not include individual ex
pipe sections which may be purchased separately. (UL1777 listed type venting only.)
3. Start the exible vent as follows—
A. Installing the inner ex adaptor and pipe. Figure 16
1. Attach the DVP ex starter onto the starting collar on the unit. Slide the male end of the inner ue over the inner collar of the appliance, at the same time, slide the outer ue over the outer collar of the appliance. Push the ex
starter section into the appliance collar until all
the lances have snapped in place. Tug slightly on the section to conrm it has completely locked into place. Install three (3) self tapping #10 screws through the DVP ex starter into the starting collar of the appliance.
2. Slide the small gear clamp over the inner exible vent pipe, and push out of the way.
3. Pull and extend the inner exible vent.
4. Slide the inner vent onto the adapter collar, for a minimum 2" overlap.
5. Locate the clamp at approximately 3/4" from the ex end and tighten.

B. Installing the outer ex pipe. Figure 16
1. Slide the large gear clamp over the outer exible vent pipe, and push out of the way.
2. Pull and extend the outer exible vent.
3. Slide the outer vent onto the appliance collar outer adapter for a minimum 2" overlap.
4. Locate the clamp at approximately 3/4" from the ex end and tighten.
5. Secure the clamped outer section with three
self tapping screws, drilled equidistant, just
above the clamp perimeter.
C. Routing UL1777 ex pipe.
1. Always maintain the required clearance when routing the ex vent assembly.
2. Install restop spacers, Figure 18, when penetrating ceilings, attic spaces, or walls.
3. Do not allow the exible vent to bend in radius tighter than 5" (127 mm). Figure 17
4. Horizontal runs of exible vent shall be supported at maximum 2 foot intervals; vertical runs, ve feet intervals. Metal strapping, properly secured, is an acceptable means to support the exible vent.
5. Flexible vent spacers are to be installed at intervals prescribed by the exible vent
manufacture; and in such a way as to maintain
concentric inner and outer vent spacing.

WARNING
FIRE RISK. DO NOT allow loose materials or insu­lation to touch vent. VCG/HHT REQUIRES the use of
an attic shield.
The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 requires an
attic shield constructed of 26 gauge minimum metal
that extends at least 2 in. (51 mm) above insulation.
Attic shields must meet specied clearance and be secured in place.

it rests on the ceiling restop to maintain the air space between the pipe and shield. Set the shield on the ceiling restop.
• Bend all tabs inward 90° around the top of the shield.
These tabs must be used to prevent blow-in insulation from getting between the shield and vent pipe, and to
maintain clearance.
Vaulted Ceiling Installation
• Remove one shield from box.
Note: Cut previously installed batt insulation
to make room for the attic insulation shield.
• Cut the attic insulation shield (if application is for vaulted
ceiling) using a laser-etched cut line, to t your ceiling pitch. Snip cut edge to create three bend tabs.
• Wrap shield around pipe if pipe is already installed in
area to be insulated.
• Match the three holes in each side and fasten with three
screws to form a tube.
• One or more tabs may be folded outward on the bottom of the shield to allow attachment to ceiling restop.
• Bend remaining tabs inward on bottom of shield where
it rests on the ceiling restop to maintain the air space between the pipe and shield. Set the shield on the ceiling restop.
• Bend all tabs inward 90° around the top of the shield.
These tabs must be used to prevent blow-in insulation from getting between the shield and vent pipe, and to
maintain clearance.
