Planning Your Dura-Vent
Installation
There are two basic types of Dura-Vent Direct
Vent System installations: horizontal termination
and vertical termination. Confirm the maximum
horizontal run and maximum vertical rise from the
diagrams in the "Venting Arrangement" section.
When planning your installation, it will be nec-
essary to select the proper length of vent pipe
for your particular requirements. For horizontal
installations, determine the minimum clearance
from the rear of the unit to the wall. It is also
important to note the wall thickness. (The wall

thimble is suitable for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 wall construc-

for "vertical-to-horizontal" type installations.
Warning: Always maintain required
clearances (air spaces) to nearby
combustibles to prevent a fire hazard.
Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
The minimum clearance requirements between
the outer wall of the vent pipe and nearby
combustible surfaces is 1-1/2", except when
passing through a wall, ceiling, or at the termina-
tion where the use of a firestop or wall thimble
reduces the required clearance to 1".

Be sure to check the vent termination clearance
requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas
regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways
as specified in the "Exterior Vent Terminal Loca-
tions" section and in your local building codes.
To determine the length of vent pipe required
for vertical installations, measure the distance
from the unit flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling
thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second
storey, and allow for sufficient vertical height
above the roof line.
For multi-storey applications, fire stops are
required at each floor level. If an offset is
needed, additional pipe, elbows and supports
will be required.
Do not exceed the maximum number of elbows.
