    STEP 5 Guide the vent termination 4" collar into the 4" pipe then the 7" collar into the 7" pipe. Do not force the venting into position. If the pipes do not line up with the termination collars, disassemble elbows or pipes and reattach to the fireplace collar.
  • Page 12: Vertical Sidewall Applications

    VERTICAL SIDEWALL APPLICATIONS The maximum number of 90 degree elbows per side wall installation is four (4), (includes 7DVRT90 off back of unit) The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted per side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
  • Page 13: How To Use The Vent Graph

    HOW TO USE THE VENT GRAPH 1. Determine the height of the centre of the horizontal vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 21), locate the point it intersects with the slanted graph line.
  • Page 14 STEP 2 Fig. 25. Measure wall thickness and cut adjustable zero clearance sleeve parts to proper length (MAXIMUM 12"). Adjust sleeve to minimum (9-3/8" x 9-3/8") and attach to firestop with #8 sheet metal screws (supplied). Install STEP 2 firestop assembly. Zero clearance sleeve is only required for combustible walls.
  • Page 15: Below Grade Installations

    BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS When it is not possible to meet the required vent termi- nal clearances of 12 inches (305mm) above grade level a model #7DVSKS vent kit is recommended. It allows installation depth of down to 7 inches (178mm) below grade level.

    c) A minimum of an 8 ft. vertical rise. d) Two sets of 45 degree elbow offsets within these vertical installations. From 0 to a maximum of 8 ft. a vent pipe can be used between elbows. (Fig. 33) e) 7DVCS must be used to support offsets. (Fig. 34) This application will require that you first determine the roof pitch and use the appropriate 7DVSKV (A,B or F).
