HORIZONTAL
TERMINATIONS
Install the flue system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with
the components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the way when the flueing system is attached.
If this is the case, you may want to adjust
the location of the unit. Rough in the gas
preferably on the right side of the unit and
the electrical (junction block is on the left
side) on the left.
2) Co Axial Flue pipe and fittings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to connect
the flueing system to the appliance flue outlet.
A twist-lock appliance adaptor is an available
option that must be used in conjunction with
the Simpson Dura-Vent Co Axial Flue GS
system.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer section
of the adapter and a bead of Stove Mate on
the inner collar. Slip the adapter over the
existing inner and outer flue collar and fasten
to the outer collar only with the 3 supplied
screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Level the fireplace and fasten it to
the framing using nails or screws through
the nailing strips.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
fittings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fittings, by orienting the four pipe
indentations so they match and slide
in to the four entry slots on the male
ends, Diagram 1. 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
will not be visible from the outside, on
the Black Pipe or fittings. They may be
located by examining the inside of the
female ends.

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner
pipe and high temperature silicone
sealant to outer pipe on every twist-
lock joint.

b) Horizontal runs of flue must be
supported every three feet. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (254mm x
254mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the centerline
of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10
inch (254mm) square hole in the exterior
wall where the flue will be terminated. If the
wall being penetrated is constructed of non-
combustible material, i.e. masonry block or
concrete, a 7"(178mm) dia. (7-1/2"(191mm)
dia. for flex) hole is acceptable.

Note:
a) The horizontal run of flue must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch (6mm) rise for every 1
foot (.3m) of run towards the termination.
Never allow the flue to run downward.
This could cause high temperatures and
may present the possibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal flue
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. For
External Flue Terminal Locations, see
diagram in the "Exterior Flue Termination
Locations" section.
6) The arrow on the flue cap should
be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"
clearances to combustible materials are
maintained. Install the termination cap,
diagram 5.
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or furring strips must be used to
ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of
flue pipe to the flue termination, slide the
Wall Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the flue
pipe.

8) Slide the appliance and flue assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the
flue pipe into the flue cap assembly. It is
important that the flue pipe extends into
the flue cap sufficient distance so as to
result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4
inches. Secure the connection between the
flue pipe and the flue cap by attaching the
two sheet metal strips extending from the
flue cap assembly into the outer wall of the
flue pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe
section. See Diagram 4.
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the
10" square and attach with wood screws
(Diagram 5).
