HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION (CONT.)
Step 4. Position the horizontal vent termination in the center
of the 10" (254mm) square hole, run a bead of
non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, so
as to make a seal between it and the wall, attach
termination cap to the exterior wall with the four
wood screws provided. The arrow on the vent
cap should be pointing up. Figure 7. Insure that
proper clearances to combustible materials are
maintained.

NOTE:
(1) The four wood screws provided should be replaced
with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick,
concrete, or other types of sidings.
(2) Vent terminal shall not be recessed into a wall
or siding.
(3) If you are using Simpson DuraVent termination cap
#985 on a building with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding
standoff (Simpson Dura-Vent Part #950), should
be installed between the vent cap and the exterior
wall (Figure 8). Attach the vinyl siding standoff to
the horizontal vent termination. The vinyl siding
standoff prevents excessive heat from possibly
melting the vinyl siding material. Remove siding
from beneath area of standoff.

Step 5. Slide the stove and vent assembly (see Fig.
9 below) towards the wall, carefully inserting
the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is
important that the vent pipe extend into the vent
cap a sufficient distance so as to result in a
minimum pipe overlap of 11⁄4" (32mm). Secure
the connection between the vent pipe and the
vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips
extending from the vent cap assembly into the
outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet
metal screws provided to connect the strips to the
pipe section. (Figure 9).
Note: The attachment from the vent pipe to the vent cap
must be siliconed.
