Dura-Vent Termination Kit
Planning Your Dura-Vent
Installation
There are two basic types of Dura-Vent Direct
Vent System installations: horizontal termination
and vertical termination. Confirm the maximum
horizontal run and maximum vertical rise from the
diagrams in the "Rigid Pipe Venting Arrangements"
section.
When planning your installation, it will be necessary
to select the proper length of vent pipe for your
particular requirements. For horizontal installations,
determine the minimum clearance from the rear of
the unit to the wall. It is also important to note the
wall thickness. (The wall thimble is suitable for 2
x 4 or 2 x 6 wall construction.) Select the amount
of vertical rise desired for "vertical-to-horizontal"
type installations.
Warning: Always maintain required clearances
(air spaces) to nearby combustibles to
prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces
with insulation.
The minimum clearance requirements between the
outer wall of the vent pipe and nearby combustible
surfaces is 1-1/4 inch. Be sure to check the vent
termination clearance requirements from decks,
windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets
and public walkways as specified in the "Exterior
Vent Terminal Locations" section and in your local
building codes.
To determine the length of vent pipe required for
vertical installations, measure the distance from the
unit flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling thickness,
the vertical rise in an attic or second storey, and
allow for sufficient vertical height above the roof line.
For multi-storey applications, fire stops are required
at each floor level. If an offset is needed, additional
pipe, elbows and supports will be required.

Please review your product to make sure you have
everything you need. In the event that you are
missing any part, contact your dealer.
Note: These are the minimum pieces
required. Other parts may be
required for your particular
installation. See the "Dura-vent
Horizontal Kit" section for a list
of vent parts.
If installing termination on a siding covered wall, a
vinyl siding standoff or furring strips can be used in
order to ensure that the termination is not recessed
into siding.
The vinyl siding standoff is required for walls with
vinyl siding.

The Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent System offers
a complete line of component parts for installation
of both horizontal and vertical installation. Many
items are offered in decorative black, as well as
galvanized finish. The galvanized pipe and fittings
are used for concealed locations such as attics or
where corrosion is a factor, such as above the roof
line. Decorative brass trim kits are available for both
wall thimbles and ceiling support boxes.
