Vertical Sidewall Applications Since it is very important that the vent- ing system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to. The vent graph showing the relationship between verti- cal and horizontal side wall venting will help to deter- mine the various dimensions allowable.

Example: Elbow 1 = 90° Elbow 2 = 45° Elbow 3 = 45° Elbow 4 = 90° Total angular variation = 270° 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 270° Fig. 42 Maximum number of elbow degrees. Vertical Sidewall Installations STEP 1 Locate vent opening on the wall.
STEP 5 Use appropriate length of pipe sections - telescopic or fixed - and install the horizontal vent sections. The sec- tions which go through the wall are packaged with the starter kit, and can be cut to suit if necessary. (Fig. 46) Sealing vent pipe and firestop gaps with high temperature sealant will restrict cold air being drawn in around fireplace.
