If more fl exible vent pipe needs to be used to reach the fi replace, coupler them together as illustrated in Figure 59. The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs.
  • Page 24: Extended Horizontal And Corner Air Terminal Installations

    EXTENDED HORIZONTAL AND CORNER AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION 1. Follow the instructions for "Horizontal Air Terminal Installations", items 1 to 3. 2. Continue adding components alternating inner and outer venting. Ensure that all exhaust venting and elbows have suffi cient vent spacers attached and each component is securely fastened to the one prior.

    RESTRICTING VERTICAL VENTS BCDV42CF ONLY: Vertical terminations may display a very ac- FIGURE 64 tive fl ame. As this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be restricted using restrictor plate, W500-0205. This reduces the velocity of the exhaust gases, slowing down the fl ame pattern and creating a TOP OF THE FIREBOX more traditional appearance.
