Unit Installation with
Horizontal Termination
Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with
the components.
1. Set the unit in its desired location. Check
to determine if wall studs or roof rafters
are in the way when the venting system is
attached. If this is the case, you may want
to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in
the gas preferably on the right side of the
unit and the electrical (junction block is on
the left side) on the left.
2. Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed with
special twist-lock connections to connect the
venting system to the appliance flue outlet. A
twist-lock appliance adaptor is an available
option that must be used in conjunction with
the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent system.
3. Put a bead of Mill-Pac inside the outer section
of the adapter and on the inner collar. Slip
the adapter over the existing inner and outer
flue collar and fasten to the outer collar only
with the 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes
will make this easier). Level the fireplace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
4. Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Notes:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
fittings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fittings, by orienting the four pipe
indentations so they match and slide
in to the four entry slots on the male
ends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sections
completely together, then twist-lock
one section clockwise approximately
one-quarter turn, until the two sections
are fully locked. The female locking lugs
will not be visible from the outside, on
the Black Pipe or fittings. They may be
located by examining the inside of the
female ends.
Diagram 1
NOTE: For best results and optimum perfor-
mance with each approved venting system,
it is highly recommended to apply "Mill-
Pac" sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe
connection. Failure to do so may result in
drafting or performance issues not covered
under warranty.

b) Horizontal runs of vent must be supported
every three feet. Wall straps are available
for this purpose.
5. Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole. The
center of the square hole should line up with
the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and
frame the 10 inch square hole in the exterior
wall where the vent will be terminated. If the
wall being penetrated is constructed of non-
combustible material, i.e. masonry block or
concrete, a 7"(178mm) dia. (7-1/2"(191mm)
dia. for flex) hole is acceptable.
Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum height is
achieved by installing a 90 elbow directly to
o
the rigid pipe adaptor.
Notes:
a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the vent to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and may
present the possibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal vent
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. For
External Vent Terminal Locations, see
Exterior Vent Termination Location.
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, 14-inch
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations
are available, as well as the standard
Riser Vent. Follow the same installa-
tion procedures as used for standard
Horizontal Termination. NEVER install
the snorkel upside down.
Below Grade Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application, proper
drainage must be
provided to prevent
water from enter-
ing the Snorkel
Termination. Refer
to Diagram 4. Do
not attempt to en-
close the Snorkel
within the wall, or
any other type of
enclosure.
Diagram 2
Note: Riser Vent
is only for use
in above grade
terminations.
*Diagrams 3 & 4: As specified in CGA B149
Installation Code. Local codes or regulations
may require different clearances.
6) The arrow on the vent cap should be
pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2" clearances
to combustible materials are maintained
(Diagram 4). Install the termination cap.

NOTE: For Snorkel terminations
ABOVE grade installations,
follow national or local code
requirements.
