VERTICAL SIDEWALL INSTALLATIONS
IMPORTANT! Minimum clearance between vent pipes
and combustible materials is 3 inch (76 mm) on top, and 1
inch(25 mm) on bottom and sides.
IMPORTANT! When vent termination exits through foundation
less than 20 inch (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe
must extend outward so that the horizontal vent termination is
located flush to, or beyond the outcrop siding.
Information on Various Venting Routes and Components
IMPORTANT: It is always best to locate the fireplace in such a way
that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
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 configurations apply and
must be strictly adhered to.
