INSTALLATION
HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATIONS

RIGID VENT SYSTEM

1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the way when the venting system is attached.
If this is the case, you may want to adjust the
location of the unit.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fi ttings are designed with
special twist-lock connections to connect the
venting system to the appliance fl ue outlet.
A twist-lock appliance adaptor is installed on
the unit at the factory. Assemble the desired
combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance
adaptor with pipe seams oriented towards the
wall or ceiling, as much out of view as pos-
sible. The fi nal positioning of the pipe and 90
elbow assembly is determined by the mounting
orientation of the adaptor on the stove and
twist-locked for a solid connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
fi ttings, are designed to slide straight onto
the male ends of adjacent pipes and fi ttings,
by orienting the four pipe indentations so
they match and slide in to the four entry
slots on the male ends (Diagram 1). Push
the pipe sections completely together,
then twist-lock one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn, until the
two sections are fully locked. The female
locking lugs will not be visible from the
outside on the Black Pipe or fi ttings. They
may be located by examining the inside of
the female ends.

Hint: Apply
silicone to
female end.
NOTE: For best results and optimum per-
formance with each approved venting
system, it is highly recommended to
apply "Mill-Pac" sealant (supplied) to
every inner pipe connection. Failure
to do so may result in drafting or
performance issues not covered
under warranty. Silicone (red RTV)
is optional.
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-
o ported every three feet. Wall straps are
available for this purpose.
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, 14-inch
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations
and the Riser Vent as shown in Diagrams
2 & 2a are available. Follow the same
installation procedures as used for stand-
ard Horizontal Termination. NEVER
install the snorkel upside down.
*As specifi ed in CAN/
CSA B149.1 Installation
Code. Local codes or
regulations may require
different clearances.

Below Grade Snorkel Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application, proper
drainage must be provided to prevent water
from entering the Snorkel Termination. Refer to
Vent Manufacturer Installation instructions for
details. Do not attempt to enclose the Snorkel
within the wall, or any other type of enclosure.
3) With the pipe attached to the stove, slide the
stove into its correct location, and mark the
wall for a 10" x 10" (inside dimensions) square
hole. The center of the square hole should line
up with the center line of the horizontal pipe, as
shown in diagram 3. Cut and frame the 10 inch
square hole in the exterior wall where the vent
will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated
is constructed of non-combustible material, i.e.
masonry block or concrete, a 7" diameter hole
is acceptable.
