Vertical Through The Roof Applications - Vermont Castings D232 Installation Instructions & Homeowner's Manual

Ensure sidewall venting clearances are observed.
If installing a snorkel a minimum 24" vertical rise is
necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 24"
vertical pipe is 36" (915mm). This measurement is
taken from the collar of the fireplace to the face of the
exterior wall. See vent graph for extended horizontal
run if the vertical exceeds 24".
1. Establish vent hole through the wall (Fig. 13,14 & 15).
2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16" below
base of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window well
(not supplied). Refill hole with 12" of coarse gravel
leaving a clearance of approximately 4" below snorkel.
See Fig. 22.
3. Install vent system.
4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe
coming through the wall.
5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied)
around the 4 and 7 inch snorkel collars.
6. Slide into vent pipe and secure to the wall.
7. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4" clearance below
snorkel. See Fig. 22.

brackets to wall first and then secure to snorkel with self drilling
#8 x 1/2 sheet metal screws. It will be necessary to extend the
vent pipes out as far as the protruding wall face (Fig. 22).
