ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

VENTING SYSTEM ASSEMBLY

CAUTION
All HHT Direct Vent Stoves 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
stove 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
flue and 1" (25 mm) clearance at the sides and bottom
until the flue penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1"
clearance all around the flue 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 stove
or flue 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
Failure to follow these instructions may create a possible
fire hazard and will void the warranty.
WARNING
Any common venting of this gas appliance with other
gas appliances is not allowed.
Important Safety Information
The termination cap MUST be vented directly to the out-
side. The termination kit MUST NEVER be connected to
a chimney flue(s) servicing a separate solid-fuel burning
appliance or any other appliances.
• Termination cap MUST NOT be recessed into a wall
(see Figure 19).
• 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 HHT direct vent
pipe components and HHT termination kits, and Du-
raVent components. No other venting system compo-
nents may be used.
• 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 stove and venting system should be inspected
before initial use and at least annually by a qualified
field service person. Inspect the external vent cap on a
regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering
with the airflow. Inspect entire venting system to ensure
proper function.
