Before You Start:
Plan your installation. Read these instructions and the fire-
place installation manual before installing unit and vent
system. Set unit in place and survey how best to vent the
unit. After the vent configuration has been decided, stretch
the flex pipe components out, then trim off what will not be
needed.
Refer to the fireplace installation manual for information on
vertical venting requirements. The maximum length of vent
when using flex venting is 35 feet total. Contact your dealer
or distributor for information on flex vent extension kits that
may be added to the DVVK-4FV kit, in order to terminate up
to 35 feet. Available extension kits include the DVEK-10 (10'
Flex) or the DVEK-25 (25' Flex) extension kits. The exten-
sion kits include connection hardware.

Installation of the Vertical Flex Termination Kit
WARNING
Ensure that the venting system exits the structure through the
roof and does not terminate less than 12 inches (305 mm)
above the roof.
WARNING
Refer to your fireplace homeowner's manual for the minimum
and maximum venting requirement of your fireplace prior to in-
stallation. Failure to do so may cause a fire hazard.
WARNING
This flexible pipe termination kit is ONLY for vertical termina-
tions.
WARNING
Any horizontal run section must have a 1/4" rise for every one
foot of run towards the vent termination. Never allow the vent
pipe to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and
may present a fire hazard. This vertical kit may incorporate two
90 degree bends, but must terminate vertically.
CAUTION
This flex vent kit can only be installed vertically off of the unit
and must terminate vertically.
WARNING
Because of sharp edges, always use gloves when handling the
flex vent components.
CAUTION
Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1" for proper
sealing.
CAUTION
Always stretch and secure venting with metal strapping secured
with nails (nails and strapping not supplied) to ensure that the
flex vent runs remain true.
