INNOVATIVE HEARTH PRODUCTS • POWER VENT DV GAS FIREPLACES (DRT6340/45TYN) • INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
L. Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall -
Install SV4.5HF Firestop/Spacer, provided
with the power vent kit, over the opening at
the exterior side of the framing, long side
up, with the 3" spacer clearance at the top as
shown in Figure 18, and nail into place. The
Firestop/Spacer may also be installed over
the opening at the interior side of the fram-
ing. The gap between the vent pipe and a
firestop can be sealed with noncombustible
caulking.
(The Firestop/Spacer may also be installed
over the opening at the interior side of the
framing).
M. Install the Power Vent termination - From
outside the exterior wall, slide the collars of
the termination onto the adaptor until the
termination seats against the exterior wall
surface to which it will be attached. Orient
the housing of the termination with the
arrow pointed upwards. Secure the termi-
nation to the exterior wall. The termination
must not be recessed into the exterior wall
or siding by more that the 1-1/4" (32 mm)
as shown in Figure 19.
The Power Vent termination has been
designed to perform in a wide range of
weather conditions. Terminations meet
or exceed industry standards.
When selecting the location of termination,
do not place the termination where water
from eaves and adjoining roof lines may
create a heavy flow of cascading water onto
the termination. If the termination must be
placed where the possibility of cascading
water exists, it is the responsibility of the
builder to direct the water away from the
termination cap by using gutters or other
means.
Carefully follow the Installation Instruc-
tions for the termination, including the
use of silicone caulking where required.
See Table 11 as an aid in venting component
selection for a particular range of exterior
wall thicknesses.
WARNING: The vent termination is hot
while in operation and for a period of
time following the use of the fireplace.
Young children should be carefully su-
pervised when in the same area as a hot
termination.
To help minimize water infiltration
it is recommended that the Firestop/Spacer (SV4.5HF)
be installed on the exterior side of the wall.
