VERTICAL TERMINATIONS (cont.)
INSTALLING INTO AN EXISTING MASONRY OR
FACTORY-BUILT METAL CHIMNEY, (cont.)
(see Masonry Installation Diagram on page 12)
Step 6. MASONRY CHIMNEY:
At the top of the chimney, slide the baseplate over
the flex liner and secure it to the surrounding
masonry using masonry anchor bolts. Before
installing baseplate, run a bead of non-hardening
sealant between the baseplate and the masonry to
prevent moisture from entering the chimney (see
Figure 7).
NOTE: You must have a level surface in order to
install the baseplate properly.
FACTORY-BUILT METAL CHIMNEY:
At the top of the chimney, slide the baseplate over
the flex liner. Cut and fold the edges of the baseplate
into flanges so that it folds over the top of the metal
chimney. Secure baseplate with screws to metal
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
chimney. Before installing baseplate, run a bead of
non-hardening sealant between the baseplate and
the chimney to prevent moisture from entering the
chimney (Figure 7).
Step 7. Attach the flex liner at the top of the chimney to the
co-linear to co-axial adaptor. Use four sheet metal
screws to connect each flex liner run to the adaptor.
Mount the adaptor to the baseplate using sheet
metal screws, as shown (see Figure 8).
Step 8. Twist lock the high wind termination cap (SDV part
#991) to the top adaptor (see Figure 9). Do not use
any other termination cap.
Step 9. Attach the flex lines to the appliance, using hose
clamps provided.
We strongly recommend the use of two flex liners to properly install the DVi-32.
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING INSTALLATION IS APPROVED FOR APPLICATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES
ONLY. IT IS NOT APPROVED FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA.
The DVI-32 has been tested using the chimney for the outside air source, but only under these conditions:
1. Do not use the co-axial to co-linear adaptor when using a single exhaust liner and the chimney as the outside
air source. Use only a Class-A GS series pipe adaptor, connected to a 4"(102mm) flex, a 4" (102mm) to 3"
(76mm) conversion, and then 3" (51mm) flex for the length of the chimney.
2. Some type of baseplate must be manufactured to seal off the top of the chimney, as any Simpson Dura-Vent
Class-A adaptor will probably not cover factory-built fireplace pipes or a masonry flue.
3. Two 3" (76mm) flex liners must pass through the damper and/or smoke shield, one (exhaust) running continuously
to the top and one (intake) extending past the damper.
4. The damper must be completely sealed. Insulation alone is not adequate. There must be an airtight seal around
both flex liners where they pass through the damper.
5. You must install a Simpson Dura-Vent high wind termination cap (SDV part #991).
