DURA-VENT
HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATIONS
1. Set the unit in its desired location. Check
to determine if wall studs or roof rafters
are in the way when the venting system is
attached. If this is the case, you may want
to adjust the location of the unit.
2. Direct Vent pipe and fittings
are designed with special
twist-lock connections to
connect the venting system
to the appliance flue outlet.
A twist-lock appliance adap-
tor is installed on the unit at
the factory. Assemble the
desired combination of
pipe and elbows to the
appliance adaptor with
pipe seams oriented to-
wards the wall or ceiling,
as much out of view as
possible. The final positioning of the pipe
and 90 elbow assembly is determined by
o
the mounting orientation of the adaptor
on the stove and twist-locked for a solid
connection.
Note:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indenta-
tions, located on the female ends of
pipes and fittings, are designed to slide
straight onto the male ends of adjacent
pipes and fittings, by orienting the four
pipe indentations so they match and
slide in to the four entry slots on the
male ends (diagram 1.. Push the pipe
sections completely
twist-lock one section clockwise ap-
proximately one-quarter turn, until the
two sections are fully locked.
The female locking lugs will not be
visible from the outside on the Black
Pipe or fittings. They may be located by
examining the inside of the female ends.
Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe
and high temperature silicone sealant
to outer pipe on every twist-lock joint.
Diagram 1
Hint: Apply silicone to female end.
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be sup-
ported every three feet. Wall straps are
available for this purpose.

3. With the pipe attached to the stove, slide
the stove into its correct location, and mark
the wall for a 10" x 10" (inside dimensions)
square hole. The center of the square hole
should line up with the center-line of the
horizontal pipe, as shown in diagram 2.
Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole
in the exterior wall where the vent will be
terminated. If the wall being penetrated is
constructed of non-combustible material, i.e.
masonry block or concrete, a 7" diameter
hole is acceptable.
Note:
a) The horizontal run of vent must be
together, then level, or have a 1/4 inch rise for every
1 foot of run towards the termination.
Never allow the vent to run downward.
This could cause high temperatures
and may present the possibility of a
fire.
b) The location of the horizontal vent
termination on an exterior wall must
meet all local and national building
codes, and must not be blocked
or obstructed. See diagram 10 in
"External Vent Terminal Locations"
section.
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, 14-inch
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations
as shown in Diagram 3 are available,
as well as the standard Riser Vent, see
Diagram 3a. Follow the same installa-
tion procedures as used for standard
Horizontal Termination. NEVER install
the snorkel upside down.

*Diagram 3, 3a &
4: As specified
in CGA B149 In-
stallation Code.
Local codes or
regulations may
require different
clearances.
Diagram 3
Note: Riser Vent is
only for use in above
grade terminations.
Diagram 3a
Below Grade Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application, proper
drainage must be provided to prevent water
from entering the Snorkel Termination. Refer
to Diagram 4. Do not attempt to enclose the
Snorkel within
the wall, or any
other type of en-
closure.
