RIGID OR HARD PIPE
When using Simpson Duravent, AmeriVent pipe, ICC Excel Direct, Metal Fab Sure-Seal DV and
or Selkirk Direct Temp a Duravent hardpipe adapter must be used (part # ZDVDFA for fireplaces
and part # ZDVDKA for Stoves, Serenity and ZDV3624B). Follow installation instructions provid-
ed by Simpson Duravent/AmeriVent/Selkirk Direct Temp, ICC Excel Direct, Metal Fab Sure-Seal
DV for installation of pipe and adhere to the clearance to combustibles provided in this manual.
Apply a bead of Mill Pac high temp sealant to all joints of pipes, adapters and termination, when
using Kingsman Flex(Z-Flex)Venting venting and Simpson Duravent venting.
NOTE: Increase framing depth by one inch when using hardpipe.
WARNING: DO NOT mix parts from different systems unless stated in the manual.
Flex Pipe Venting
Kingsman Flex pipe is shipped in unexpanded length. When installing pipe expand the lengths.
Pipe can be expanded to twice their lengths e.g. 4ft. to 8ft. Fully expand pipe and cut off excess.
Do not use more than 2 couplers to extend short pipes. Single sections are preferred in an installa-
tion attaching at the fireplace and termination.
Place the spring spaces provided approximately every two feet to stabilize 4" flex in the center of 7"
flex. When forming bends place spring in bend or before and after. (See Fig. 1).
Horizontal runs require support metal straps every 2 feet. In off set installation support straps
should be used to stabilize pipe.
Expand 4" and 7" flex pipe to the point that the 7" protrudes approximately 2 to 3 inches past outer
wall and the 4" flex protrudes approximately 2 to 3 inches past the 7" flex. See Fig. 1. Attach the 4"
pipe to the termination first and secure with sealant and screws then attach the 7" flex to the termina-
tion with caulking and screws. Termination may then be moved back to the outer wall and attached
to home screwing into the framing. Silicone around termination to waterproof. If siding shield is
going to be used attach this using same attaching hole as the top of termination after termination has
been caulked for water proofing.
Use Hi Temp Sealant
Apply a bead of mill pac high temp sealant to all joints and use four screws to secure each pipe at
fireplace, termination and any joint if joining any sections of pipe.
1. To determine the minimum distance from the bottom of fireplace to centre of vent see page 7 for the
ZDV3318 and page 10 for the ZDV3622. Cut a hole through the wall allowing for a 11" x 11"
(inside diameter) in combustible walls for wall thimble or an 8" diameter hole in a non-combustible
wall (See Figure 2).
2. For the clearance to combustible above a 90 degree bend see page 15.
3. Select the approximate vent length, precise measurements are not needed as your flex pipe can be
expanded to twice its shipped length for ease of installation.
4. To install wall thimble centre over 11" x 11" (inch) framing from both sides of wall and secure.
Route flex vent pipe through wall thimble (See Figure 1).
5. Before joining pipes, apply a bead of high temperature sealant (Mill Pac) to end of pipe. First attach
the four inch (4") flue pipe to the vent termination with sealant, and secure with the four screws pro-
vided. At this time make sure the spacer springs are attached to the (4") flex pipe as required. Then
attach the seven inch (7") pipe by the same method.
6. Mount vent termination and seal to wall using caulking around the wall thimble to weather proof.
After installing the vent termination, double check to make sure the pipe extends properly through
wall thimble and into vent termination.
7. Before joining pipes to fireplace flue, apply a bead of high temperature sealant (Mill Pac) to end of
pipe. First attach the four inch (4") flue pipe to fireplace with sealant, and secure with the four
screws provided. At this time verify that the spacer springs are attached properly to the (4") flex pipe
as required. Then attach the seven inch (7") pipe by the same method.
8. Support horizontal pipes every two (2) feet (61 cm) with metal strap bands. Re-check fireplace to
make sure it is levelled and properly positioned and secured.
9. Support vertical pipes to maintain a minimum of 1" or greater clearance to combustibles with metal
strapping bands.
10. If finishing the outside wall with vinyl or wood siding it is recommended that a Siding Shield be
installed, Part Number ZDVSSLR.
Note: Vent Termination must not be recessed into wall or siding.
