Attach vent components to 45 degree starter elbow - Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent system components are unitized concentric pipe components featuring positive twist lock connections ( see Figure 15 ). All of the appliances covered in this document are fitted with collars having locking inclined channels.
  • Page 13 Loop the tape around the vent, securing the ends of the tape to the framing. If desired, sheet metal screws #6 x 1/2" length may be used to secure the support straps to the vent pipe. Refer to Figure 17. H.
  • Page 14: Vertical Vent Tables And Figures

    VERTICAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES Note: Secure Vent (rigid vent pipe) is shown in the figures; Secure Flex (flexible vent pipe) may also be used. WARNING: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY SEPARATE SECTIONS OF CONCENTRIC FLEXIBLE VENT PIPE BE JOINED TOGETHER. Note: It is very important that the horizontal/inclined run be maintained in a straight (no dips) and recommended to be in a slightly elevated plane, in a direction away from the fireplace of 1/4"...

Example: If 20 feet of (H) horizontal vent run is needed, then 4 feet minimum of (V) vertical vent will be required.
  • Page 16 D. Frame exterior wall opening - Locate the center of the vent outlet on the exterior wall according to the dimensions shown in Figure 9 on page 8. Cut and/or frame an opening, 10-1/2" x 12-1/8" (267 mm x 308mm) inside dimensions, about this center.
  • Page 17 If the terminus of the last section is not within this distance, use the telescopic vent section SV4.5LA, as the last vent section. For wall thicknesses greater than that shown in Figure 28 , refer to Table 3 on page 18 . This table lists the additional venting components needed (in addition to the termination and adapter) for a particular range of wall thicknesses.
  • Page 18 Note: Secure Vent components (rigid vent pipe and terminal) are shown in the figures; Secure Flex components (flexible vent pipe and terminal) may also be used. Note: Two 45 degree elbows may be used in place of one 90 degree elbow. The same rise to run ratios, as shown in the venting figures for 90 degree elbows, must be followed if 45 degree elbows are used.
