Vent Requirements - Lopi Direct Vent Freestanding Stove Owner's Manual

Installation

Vent Requirements

! Always maintain the required 1" clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard.
Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
! The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system.
• This appliance is equipped only for
altitudes 0-2000 feet. However,
our in-house testing has shown
that the unit operated at altitudes to
8000 ft.
! Failure to adjust the air shutter
properly may lead to improper
combustion which can create a
safety hazard. Consult your dealer
or installer if you suspect an
improperly adjusted air shutter.
• When the vent passes through a
wall, a wall thimble is required.
When the vent passes through a
ceiling, a support box or firestop is
required. When the vent passes
through the roof, a roof flashing
and storm collar are required.
Follow the instructions provided
with the vent for installing these
items.
• Use of of the following 6-5/8" diameter co-axial gas direct vent systems:
Manuafacturer
Simpson Dura-Vent
Selkirk Hearth Products
American Metal Products
Metal-Fab Inc.
N O T E : Always use the high-wind cap for the type of vent you are using (if applicable)
• Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in place.
• Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may be used to
secure vent sections together if desired.
• High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section connection
(use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).
• If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent creates a tight
fit. If it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the joints of the affected sections.
• Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel
• Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing
tape)
