Step 4
Install the 4" (102 mm) flex vent pipe to the appliance
collar as described on Page 13. Secure the end with
the first spring 6³⁄₄" (172 mm) from the flex pipe end to
the unit.
Step 5
Slide the 7" (178 mm) flex vent pipe over the 4" flex
vent pipe and secure the 7" collar as described on Page
13.
Step 6
Bend the flex pipe horizontal so the bottom of the
horizontal pipe measure 6¹⁄₂" (165mm) from the top of
the unit immediately after the 90° formation. (Fig. 27)
Be sure to follow the 1" (25mm) rise in a 24" (610 mm)
horizontal run rule.
Step 7
Install the 4" flex then 7" flex to the termination.
Fig. 27 Bend flex vent at 90° so horizontal portion is 6¹⁄₂"
(165 mm) off top of unit.

Below Grade Installations

When it is not possible to meet the required vent ter-
minal clearances of 12" (305 mm) above grade level a
snorkel vent kit is recommended. It allows installation
depth of down to 7" (178 mm) below grade level. The
7" is measured from the center of the horizontal vent
pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
If venting system is installed below
ground, we recommend a window well with
adequate and proper drainage.

Ensure sidewall venting clearances are observed.

If installing a snorkel a minimum 24" (610 mm) vertical
rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with
4/04 djt
the 24" (610 mm) vertical pipe is 36" (914 mm). This
measurement is taken from the collar of the fireplace
(or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall.
Refer to the Sidewall Vent Graph for extended
horizontal run if the vertical rise exceeds 24" (610 mm).

1. Establish vent hole through the wall. (Fig. 20)
2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16" (406
mm) below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install
window well (not supplied). Refill hole with 12" (305
mm) of coarse gravel leaving a clearance of approxi-
mately 4" (102 mm) below snorkel. (Fig. 28)
3. Install vent system.
4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent
pipe coming through the wall.
5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied)
around the 4" and 7 " snorkel collars.
6. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to
the wall.
7. Level the soil to maintain a 4" (102 mm) clearance
below snorkel. (Fig. 28)
Do not back fill around snorkel. A clearance
of at least 4" (102 mm) must be maintained
between snorkel and the soil.
