Page 15: Installation Planning
VENT INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PLANNING There are two basic types of direct-vent installation: • Horizontal Termination • Vertical Termination It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the wall thickness. FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION Never run the vent pipe level or Select the amount of vertical rise desired. All horizontal run downward. This may cause excessive of venting must have " rise for every 12" of run towards the temperatures which could cause termination. a fire. You may use up to three 90° elbows in this vent configuration.

Page 20: Horizontal Termination Configurations
VENT INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGuRATIONS Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to. The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the vari- ous dimensions allowable. See Figure 13, page 17. -
Page 21: Horizontal Termination Configuration
VENT INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL TERMINATION CONFIGuRATION 90° (Continued) • If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level height maintained) the horizontal vent length is reduced by 36". See Figures 21 and 22, page 20. This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise. See Figure 24. Example: According to the vent graph (page 17) the maximum horizontal vent length in a system with a 7.5' vertical rise is 20’... -
Page 22: Below Grade Installations
VENT INSTALLATION BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm) below grade level. The 7" (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall. Ensure that sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area. If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24" vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 24” vertical pipe is 36". This measurement is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. See the Sidewall Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 24". - Page 23 VENT INSTALLATION VERTICAl (THROUGH-THE-ROOF) APPlICATIONS This Gas Fireplace has been approved for, • Vertical installations up to 40' (12m) in height. Up to a 10' (3m) horizontal vent run can be installed within the vent system using a maximum of two 90° elbows. See Figure 28. NOTE: Horizontal sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" clearances to combustibles at the top of the flue and 1" clearance at the sides and bottom until the flue penetrates the outside wall.
