Do not back fill around snorkel. A clear-
ance of at least 4" (102 mm) must be main-
tained between snorkel and the soil.
If the foundation is recessed, use recess brackets (not
supplied) for securing lower portion of the snorkel.
Fasten brackets to wall first, then secure to snorkel
with self drilling #8 x 1/2 sheet metal screws. It will be
necessary to extend vent pipes out as far as protruding
wall face. (Fig. 21)

This Gas Fireplace has been approved for:
Snorkel
•
Vertical installations up to 40' (12 m) in height. Up
2/10/99 djt
to a 10' (3 m) horizontal vent run can be installed
within the vent system using a maximum of two 90°
elbows.
•
Up to two 45° elbows may be used within the
horizontal run. For each 45° elbow used on the
horizontal level the maximum horizontal length must
be reduced by 18" (457 mm).
Example: Maximum horizontal length
0 x 45° elbows = 10' (3 m)
1 x 45° elbows = 8¹⁄₂' (2.6 m)
2 x 45° elbows = 7' (2.1 m)
•
A minimum of an 8' (2.4 m) vertical rise.
•
Two sets of 45° elbows offsets within these vertical
installations. From 0 to a maximum of 8' (2.4 m) of
vent pipe can be used between elbows. (Fig. 22)
•
7DVCS must be used to support offsets. (Fig. 22)
This application will require that you first determine
the roof pitch and use the appropriate starter kit.
