Page 14: Installation Planning
VENT INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PLANNING There are two basic types of direct-vent installation: • Horizontal Termination • Vertical Termination It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the wall thickness. FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION Select the amount of vertical rise desired. All horizontal run Never run the vent pipe level or of venting must have " rise for every 12" of run towards the downward. This may cause excessive termination. temperatures which could cause You may use up to three 90° elbows in this vent configuration. See a fire.

Page 19: Vertical/Horizontal Termination Configuration
VENT INSTALLATION VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGURATIONS Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to. The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the vari- ous dimensions allowable. See Figure 10. - Page 20 VENT INSTALLATION VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL TERMINATION 90° CONFIGURATIONS (continued) • If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level height maintained) the horizontal vent length is reduced by 36". See Figures 16 and 17, page 19. This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise. See Figure 19. Example: According to the vent graph (page 16) the maximum horizontal vent length in a system with a 10' vertical rise is 20’ (6m) and if a 90° elbow is required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17' (5.2 m).

Page 21: Below Grade Installation
VENT INSTALLATION BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm) below grade level. The 7" (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall. Ensure that sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area. If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24" vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 24” vertical pipe is 36". This measurement is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. See the Sidewall Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 24". -

Page 25: Flex Vent Installation
FLEx VENT INSTALLATION 1. Flexible UL177 listed venting may be used in any venting application where rigid direct vent components can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances that pertain to the rigid piping apply to the flexible UL177 venting. Flex kits may not be modified. Flex kits may be added to the Flex Vent end of a vent run made of rigid vent sections using pipe manufactur- er's approved flex to pipe adapters. This may occur only if doing so does not violate any of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements or clearance consid- erations detailed in this manual. 2. The flex adapter starter kit (DVFA/8) is used to attach flex venting to the appliance starting collar. It includes 4" " Flex- inner and 7" outer adapter rings. (Refer to Figure 29) ible Pipe • The inner and outer adapter rings are required to start and Adapter Securing all flex runs. - Page 26 FLEx VENT INSTALLATION 3. Do not allow the flexible vent to bend in radius tighter than 5" (127 mm). Refer to Figure 30. 4. Horizontal runs of flexible vent shall be supported at maximum 2 foot intervals; vertical runs, five feet intervals. Metal strapping, properly secured, is an acceptable means to support the flexible vent. 5. Flexible vent spacers are to be installed at intervals prescribed by the flexible vent manufacturer; and in such a way as to maintain concentric inner and outer vent spacing. D. Attaching flexible venting to vertical termination assemblies. 1. When using Simpson pipe, an MHSC flex-to-pipe adapter and/or rigid pipe section(s) is required to connect the flexible vent assembly to the vertical termination by using three self-penetrating screws. 2. Review Figure 32 and corresponding instructions for proper overlap, clamp and screw placement. 3. Three each self-penetrating screws are drilled opposite one another and below the gear clamp. 4.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE VENT SYSTEM The fireplace and venting system should be inspected before initial use and at least annually by a quali- fied field service person. Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering with the airflow. Inspect entire venting system to ensure proper function. GLASS DOOR Thoroughly clean the inside of the glass door after using the fireplace for ten hours. Periodically clean the glass door as necessary. When cleaning the glass, remember: • Do not remove the glass when hot. Allow glass to cool before removal. • NEVER use abrasive materials. • Keep children and pets a safe distance away. • Never operate the fireplace without the glass door properly secured. • Never operate the fireplace if the glass is broken. • Replace any glass that is chipped, cracked, or broken. Replacement glass door assemblies MUST be supplied by the fireplace manufacturer – No substitute materials may be used. • Handle glass door with care to avoid striking or scratching it on hard objects. To clean glass door, follow “Glass Removal” procedure outlined in the Final Installation section. Film deposit on the inside of the glass should be cleaned off using a nontoxic, non-corrosive, non-abrasive, mild-cleaning solution. Simply apply an adequate amount to the glass and wipe off with a damp cloth. -
