VENTING FIREPLACE - TOP (CONT'D)
Positioning the Fireplace
Determine the exact position of the fireplace so the direct-vent
termination will be centered (if possible) between two studs.
This will avoid any extra framing. All vent kit pipes should be
assembled on the fireplace after the fireplace is moved into the
final position.
Cutting the Hole
After the fireplace has been positioned in its permanent location,
the hole through the exterior wall can be cut. This hole must be
13-in (330mm) high x 10-5/8-in (270mm) wide with its center line
determined by the amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of
the termination. See Figures 42 and 43. When locating the hole
it must be noted that the bottom of the cap must be minimum of
12-in (305mm) above the ground level, and top of the cap must
be no less than 18-in (457mm) below a combustible projection,
and no closer than 9-in (229mm) to any wall running parallel to
vent termination.

Below Grade Installation
When it is not possible to meet the required vent termination
clearances of 12 inch (305 mm) above grade level, a snorkel
kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7 inch
(178 mm) below grade level. The 7 inch (178 mm) is measured
from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates
through the wall.
Ensure the sidewall venting clearances are observed. If
venting system is installed below ground, we recommend
a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be
installed around the termination area.
