8. INSTALLATIONS WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION – INSTALLING
See section 4 for full range of horizontal termination applications.

8.1 Flat On Wall Installations With Valor #551DVK Terminal

1. Cut the vent terminal pipe unit to size. See figure 31.
Important! The drain hole must be clearly outside the wall.
a)
Measure the wall thickness.
b)
Add distance from case rear to wall.
c)
Measure this total length along the vent unit from where the termination cap joins the main terminal pipes. Mark
the unit.
d)
Insert the Styrofoam support ring and push it as close as possible to the marked position.
e)
Cut the vent tubes squarely to length.
f)
Make sure that all Styrofoam is removed from the vent unit after cutting.
2. Free the appliance from the frame studding by removing the four screws inside the firebox securing the side angles (See
figure 30). Slide the appliance forward to
allow the terminal to be fitted.
3. Fit the vent unit fully over the appliance
inlet and outlet collars pushing on firmly.
Make sure that the drain hole is at the
bottom – the seam will be through the
notch in the wall plates – See figure 34.
4. Drill through the terminal outer tube and
appliance outer collar for #6 screws. See
figure 31. Make sure that the drill does
not penetrate the inner tubes.
5. Secure the terminal to the outer collar
with two #6 thread cutting screws
supplied (Fig. 31).
Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that vent installations through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such a
manner as to:
Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to the exterior
wall surface.
Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall structure by ensuring the inside wall plate is adequately
sealed to the inside vapor barrier.
Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by sealing the joints between the outer vent tube and the inner and
outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.
