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 flue must be
supported every three feet. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (254mm x
254mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the centerline
of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10
inch (254mm) 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 (6mm) rise for every 1
foot (.3m) 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 the "Exterior Flue Termination
Locations" section.
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).
