SK8 Venting Pipes

Canadian Installations:
The venting system must be installed in accordance
with the current CSA-B149 .1 installation code.
USA Installations:
The venting system must conform with local codes and/
or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54.
Only venting components manufactured by Vermont
Castings, Majestic Products can be used in Direct Vent
systems.
NOTE: The joints of the inner pipe (flue pipe) must be
taped with 550°F or higher temperature metal adhesive
tape that meets the requirements of F.A.R. 25.853(a)
High temperature sealant milpack or stove cement
of 550°F or higher could be used instead. The joints
of The outer pipe (fresh air pipe) must be taped with
315°F or higher temperature metal adhesive tape or the
use of high temperature milpack or stove cement would
be applicable. When using the unitized 30°, 45° or 90°
elbows, apply 1/4" bead of high temperature, 550°F or
higher, sealant (milpack or stove cement) to the joint of
the inner pipe (flue pipe) and the straight section as it is
impossible to be taped. The outer pipe must be taped
with 315°F high temperature metal adhesive tape for
proper sealing.
Start by attaching the first vent pipe section to the collar
on top of the fireplace. In order to attach the first pipe
section, it may be necessary to remove the top shield.
Remove four (4) screws securing top shield, install first
pipe section and replace top shield.
Install the pipe as shown in Figure 14. When you get a
good lock, you will hear the pipe clearly snap together.
Once sections are snap-locked in place, it is extremely
difficult to get them apart. Make sure the pipe is firmly
snapped and locked together as each pipe section is
mounted.
When installing elbows, follow the same procedure.
The joints of inner and outer elbow must be taped with
UL approved high temperature metal adhesive tape for
proper sealing. Be sure to always attach straps on up-
per elbow to a structural framing member.
For vertical installations, continue installing the pipe as
required until pipe is installed up through the ceiling. At
this point, you must install a firestop spacer.

off the top of the unit, before the first elbow. The hori-
zontal run may extend up to 20ʼ (6m) and include a
vertical rise of up to 40ʼ (12m). (Fig. 15) Horizontal ter-
mination must also meet the criteria shown in Figures

Vertical Termination

A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 12ʼ

installed before any offset. A maximum of 20ʼ (6.1m)
horizontal and three (3) 90° elbows may be installed
with a minimum of 12ʼ (3.66m) vertical section above
the flue collar of the unit. Refer to Page 15, Figure 26
