VENTING FIREPLACE - TOP
VERTICAL TERMINATION
Vertical Through the Roof Applications
Your Gas Fireplace has been approved for:
a) Vertical installations up to 40 feet in height.
b) Two sets of 45° elbow offsets within these vertical
installations. A vent pipe from 0 to a maximum of 8 feet can
be used between elbows.
c) Wall straps must be used to support offset pipe every 4 feet
This application will require that you first determine the roof pitch
and use the appropriate venting components.

The DVVK-5F FLEX VENT KIT includes the following
components:
• (1) Horizontal Termination Cap
• (1) 4-foot section of Flex vent with spacers (5in flue/8in
outer pipe) with flue adapter collar
• (1) Wall Firestop/Thimble Assembly
• Hardware pack that includes band clamps and screws
Maintain at least ½inch rise for every 12 inches of vent run.
• Because of sharp edges, always use gloves when
handling the flex vent components.
• Always follow the general venting requirements for

vent terminal location, vent lengths, and clearance to

combustible materials.
• If space permits, it is generally easier to attach venting
15-3/8in
in the top vent configuration.
18-3/8in
• Always stretch and secure venting with wire or metal
20-5/8in strapping to ensure that the horizontal runs do not
sag.
22-5/8in
• Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1in for
31-1/8in
proper sealing.

39-3/8in INSTALLATION
1. Unpack vent components and check that all items are
47-7/8in
included.
2. Check to see that the vent spacer springs are located
around the flue vent at 8in intervals along its length. See
Figures 55 & 56. If not, stretch the spacer springs to about
15in long and wrap them around the flue, then interlock the
ends of each spring. Maintain equal distance between spring
spacers.

CAUTION
5" FLEX
VENT PIPE
3. Attach a 6in piece of hard pipe to raise the connection point
above the fireplace.
4. Use existing 8in diameter inlet collar to attach outer vent
pipe.
5. Install the Wall Firestop/Thimble assembly as required
through the wall. Refer to the venting charts in the fireplace
manual to determine the proper height and size of the vent
opening. The minimum opening should be 10in wide by
12in high. The minimum combustible clearance from the
horizontal vent is 1in from sides and bottom, and 3in above
the vent pipe. See Figure 57.
6. In most cases, after determining the length of the vent that
is needed, it may be easier to install the flue and outer vent
pipes to the Termination Cap first, then from the outside,
feed the venting through the wall to the fireplace.
7. If the venting is to long, trim off any excess vent before
attaching the vent end connectors.
8. Attach the Termination Cap to the outside of the house.
Do not use force when installing the Horizontal Vent
Termination into the flex venting. Always stretch venting
out first, then cut off excessive vent material prior to
sliding the vent termination into the flue and inlet venting.
Forcing the termination cap into the flex venting will
deform the flue venting, which will restrict the exhaust
gases, and cause improper operation of the fireplace.
