WDV See-thru Gas Fireplace
VERTICAL SIDEWALL INSTALLATION
NOTE: Sealant is not required to assemble fireplace
venting. Do not use silicone sealant at the inner flue
exhaust connections.
Step 1
Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to
first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole lo-
cation. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or
noncombustible, cut opening to size. Figure 11 (For com-
bustible walls first frame in opening.)
Combustible Walls: Cut a 10
mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as shown.
Figure 11
Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening must be 8
mm) in diameter.

Place fireplace into position. Measure the vertical height
(X) required from the base of the flue collars to the center
of the wall opening. Figure 12
Step 4
Using appropriate length of pipe section(s) attach to fire-
place with three (3) screws. Follow with the installation of
the elbow.
Step 5
Measure the horizontal length requirement figuring a 1
(32 mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow to the outside wall
cap. Figure 13

Requirement
Always install horizontal venting on a level
plane.
Step 6
Use appropriate length of pipe sections - telescopic or
fixed - and install.

Horizontal Length
Requirement
Sealing vent pipe and firestop gaps with high tem-
perature sealant will restrict cold air being drawn in
around fireplace.
Step 7
Guide the vent terminations 5" and 8" collard into their
respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes
overlap the collars by a minimum 1
the termination to the wall with screws provided and caulk
around the wall plate to weatherproof. As an alternative to
screwing the termination directly to the wall, you may also
use expanding plugs or an approved exterior construction
adhesive.
