Vertical Termination - Empire Comfort Systems DVP42DP31N-2 Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

Treatment of firestop spacers and construction of the chase may
vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes
for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore, your local
building codes must be checked to determine the requirements
for these steps.
NOTICE: When installing this vent system in a chase, it is always
good building practice to insulate the chase as you would the outside
walls of your home. This is especially important for cold climate
installations. Upon completion of building your chase framing,
install the vent system by following the instructions in this manual.
Remember to build the chase large enough so that minimum
clearance of combustible materials (including insulation) to the vent
system are maintained.
Reassembly and Resealing Vent Pipe System
Attach vent pipe to inlet and outlet vent adaptor on fireplace in either
the vertical or horizontal position, replace horizontal and vertical pipe
lengths, elbows and horizontal or vertical termination kit.
All vent system components lock into place by sliding the concentric
pipe section with four (4) equally spaced interior beads onto the
appliance collar or previously installed component end with four
(4) equally spaced indented sections. When the internal beads of
each starting outer pipe line up, rotate pipe section clockwise 90°
(approximately 3 inches). The vent pipe is now locked together.
Continue replacing components per the vent system configuration.
