VENTING INTRODUCTION

The DV Stove Horizontal Vent Kit and the Simp-
son Dura-Vent Direct Vent venting systems, in
combination with the Classic Direct Vent Free-
standing Gas Stove, C34-NG11 and C34-LP11,
have been tested and listed as direct vent heater
systems by Intertek.
If converting a Class-A Metal Chimney or
Masonry Chimney to a Direct Vent system,
see instructions in "Converting Class-A Metal
Chimney or Masonry Chimney to Direct Vent
System" section.
The C34-11 uses the "balanced flue" technology
coaxial system. The inner liner vents products of
combustion to the outside while the outer pipe
draws outside combustion air into the combus-
tion chamber thereby eliminating the need to
use heated room air for combustion and losing
warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be con-
nected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use its own
separate vent system. Common vent systems
are prohibited.
IMPORTANT
Read all instructions carefully before starting
the installation. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may create a fire or other safety hazard,
and will void the warranty. Be sure to check the
venting and clearance to combustible require-
ments. Consult your local building codes before
beginning installation.
The location of the termination cap must conform
to the requirements in the Exterior Vent Terminal
Locations Diagram in "Exterior Vent Terminal
Locations" section.
INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
These venting systems are engineered products
that have been designed and tested for use with
the C34-NG11 and the C34-LP11. The warranty will
be voided and serious fire, health or other safety
hazards may result from any of the following actions:
1. Installation of any damaged Direct Vent com-
ponent
2. Unauthorized modification of the Direct Vent
System
3. Installation of any component part not manu-
factured or approved by Simpson Dura-Vent or
Fireplace Products International Ltd.
4. Installation other than as instructed by Simpson
Dura-Vent and Fireplace Products International
Ltd.
Warning: Always maintain required clear-
ances (airspaces) to nearby combusti-
bles to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill
air spaces with insulation.
Be sure to check the vent termination clearance
requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas
regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways as
specified in the "Exterior Vent Terminal Locations"
section and in your local building codes.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use its own

Vent restriction is required for certain venting
installations, see the Diagrams in "Venting

required for your installation.
The vent restrictor has three settings: "C" Center
