    VENT INSTALLATION REAR VENT INSTALLATION This fireplace must be vented to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance. Each gas appliance must use a separate vent system. Do not use common vent systems. Horizontal sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" clearances to A Minimum of 3"...

  • Page 18: Installation Planning

    VENT INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PLANNING There are two basic types of direct-vent installation: • Horizontal Termination • Vertical Termination It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the wall thickness.

  • Page 23: Horizontal Termination Configuration

    VENT INSTALLATION hORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATIONS Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configu- rations apply and must be strictly adhered to. The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the various dimensions allowable. Page 20, Figure 18 Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is 3" on top and 1" from bottom and sides unless otherwise noted. When the vent termination exits through foundations less than 20" below outcrop, the vent pipe must be flush with the siding.
  • Page 24 VENT INSTALLATION hORIZONTAL TERMINATION 90° CONFIGURATION (Continued) • If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run, the horizontal vent length is reduced by 36" (914 mm). Figure 28. This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise.
  • Page 25: Below Grade Installation

    VENT INSTALLATION BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7" (178 mm) below grade level. The 7" (178 mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
  • Page 26 VENT INSTALLATION VERTICAL (THROUGH-THE-ROOF) APPLICATIONS This Gas Fireplace has been approved for, • Vertical installations up to 40' (12 m) in height. Up to a 10' (3 m) horizontal vent run can be installed within the vent system using a maximum of two 90° elbows. Figure 33 Support Straps Every...
  • Page 27: Installation For Vertical Termination

    VENT INSTALLATION INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION 1. Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling Roof Flashing joist, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset. Refer to Figure 35 to avoid cut- ting load bearing members. NOTE: Pay special attention to these installation instructions for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic...
  • Page 28 VENT INSTALLATION 4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole. NOTE: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet. Use wall straps for this purpose. Page 26, Figure 33. Whenever possible, use 45°...
