VERTICAL THROUGH-THE-ROOF
APPLICATIONS
A restrictor disc must be installed on
vertical terminations that are higher than
12' (366 cm).
Install restrictor disc as shown in Figure 20 for vertically
vented applications. Up to two (2) restrictor discs may be
needed for 40' installation. The two (2) restrictor discs
suppled will work for most installations. If a third disc is
needed order part number 56D3027.
Figure 20 -
Install Restrictor Disc into Fireplace Collar
This gas fi replace has been approved for vertical installa-
tions up to 40' (12 m) in height. Up to a 20' (6 m) horizontal
vent run can be installed within the vent system using a
maximum of two 90° elbows. Figure 21
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
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.
•
Up to two 45° elbows may be used within the horizontal
run. For each 45° elbow used on the horizontal plane,
the maximum horizontal length must be reduced by 18"
(457 mm).

•
A minimum of an 8' (2.5 m) 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. Figure 22

The maximum angular variation allowed in the system
is 270°. Figure 22
