HORIZONTAL
TERMINATIONS
Install the fl ue system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with
the components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check
to determine if wall studs or roof rafters
are in the way when the fl ueing system is
attached. If this is the case, you may want
to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in
the gas preferably on the right side of the
unit and the electrical (junction block is on
the left side) on the left.
2) Co Axial Flue pipe and fi ttings are designed
with special twist-lock connections to
connect the fl ueing system to the appliance
fl ue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor
is an available option that must be used in
conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent Co
Axial Flue GS system.
3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer
section of the adapter and a bead of Stove
Mate on the inner collar. Slip the adapter
over the existing inner and outer fl ue collar
and fasten to the outer collar only with the
3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier). Level the fi replace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock 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.

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe
and high temperature silicone sealant
to outer pipe on every
twist-lock joint.

b) Horizontal runs of fl ue must be supported
every three feet. Wall straps are available
for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole. The
center of the square hole should line up with
the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and
frame the 10 inch square hole in the exterior
wall where the fl ue will be terminated. If the
wall being penetrated is constructed of non-
combustible material, i.e. masonry block or
concrete, a 7"(178mm) dia. (7-1/2"(191mm)
dia. for fl ex) hole is acceptable.

Note:
a) The horizontal run of fl ue must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the fl ue to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and may
present the possibility of a fi re.
b) The location of the horizontal flue
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes,
and must not be blocked or obstructed.
For External Flue Terminal Locations,
see diagram in section "Exterior Flue
Termination Locations."
6) The arrow on the flue cap should
be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"
clearances to combustible materials are
maintained. Install the termination cap,
diagram 5.
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
Note: If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or furring strips must be used to
ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of
fl ue pipe to the fl ue termination, slide the
Wall Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the fl ue
pipe.

8) Slide the appliance and fl ue assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the
fl ue pipe into the fl ue cap assembly. It is
important that the fl ue pipe extends into
the fl ue cap suffi cient distance so as to
result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4
inches. Secure the connection between the
fl ue pipe and the fl ue cap by attaching the
two sheet metal strips extending from the
fl ue cap assembly into the outer wall of the
fl ue pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe
section. See Diagram 4.
9) Install wall thimble in the center of the
10" square and attach with wood screws
(Diagram 5).
