*NOTE: Termination in an alcove space (spaces open only on one side and with an overhang) is permitted with the dimensions specified for vinyl or
non-vinyl siding and soffits. 1. There must be a 3' (914 mm) minimum between termination caps. . All mechanical air intakes within 10' (1 m) of a
termination cap must be a minimum of 3' (914 mm) below the termination cap. 3. All gravity air intakes within 3' (914 mm) of a termination cap must
be a minimum of 1' (305 mm) below the termination cap.

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.
. 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' (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must
not exceed 14' (4.3 m).
Example: If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is
7' (2.14 m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must
not exceed 7' (2.1 m).
