VENTING FIREPLACE - REAR

The 

DVVK-5F FLEX VENT KIT

 includes the following 

components:

•   (1) Horizontal Termination Cap

•   (1) 4-foot section of Flex vent with spacers (5in flue/8in 

outer pipe) with flue adapter collar

• 

(1) Wall Firestop/Thimble Assembly

• 

Hardware pack that includes band clamps and screws

Maintain at least ½inch rise for every 12 inches of vent run. 

 

CAUTION

• 

Because of sharp edges, always use gloves when 

handling the flex vent components.

•  Always follow the general venting requirements for 

vent terminal location, vent lengths, and clearance to 

combustible materials.

• 

If space permits, it is generally easier to attach venting 

in the top vent configuration.

• 

Always stretch and secure venting with wire or metal 

strapping to ensure that the horizontal runs do not 

sag.

• 

Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1in for 

proper sealing.

INSTALLATION

1.  Unpack vent components and check that all items are 

included.

2.   Check to see that the vent spacer springs are located 

around the flue vent at 8in intervals along its length.  

See 

Figures 55 & 56. 

If not, stretch the spacer springs to about 

15in long and wrap them around the flue, then interlock the 

ends of each spring. Maintain equal distance between spring 

spacers.

3.  Attach a 6in piece of hard pipe to raise the connection point 

above the fireplace.

4.  Use existing 8in diameter inlet collar to attach outer vent 

pipe.

5.  Install the Wall Firestop/Thimble assembly as required 

through the wall. Refer to the venting charts in the fireplace 

manual to determine the proper height and size of the vent 

opening. The minimum opening should be 10in wide by 

12in high. The minimum combustible clearance from the 

horizontal vent is 1in from sides and bottom, and 3in above 

the vent pipe. 

See Figure 57.

6.  In most cases, after determining the length of the vent that 

is needed, it may be easier to install the flue and outer vent 

pipes to the Termination Cap first, then from the outside, 

feed the venting through the wall to the fireplace.

7.  If the venting is to long, trim off any excess vent before 

attaching the vent end connectors.

8.  Attach the Termination Cap to the outside of the house.

 

CAUTION

Do not use force when installing the Horizontal Vent 

Termination into the flex venting. Always stretch venting 

out first, then cut off excessive vent material prior to 

sliding the vent termination into the flue and inlet venting. 

Forcing the termination cap into the flex venting will 

deform the flue venting, which will restrict the exhaust 

gases, and cause improper operation of the fireplace.

VERTICAL TERMINATION

Vertical Through the Roof Applications

Your Gas Fireplace has been approved for:

a)  Vertical installations up to 40 feet in height.

b)  Two sets of 45° elbow offsets within these vertical 

installations. A vent pipe from 0 to a maximum of 8 feet can 

be used between elbows.

c)  Wall straps must be used to support offset pipe every 4 feet 

This application will require that you first determine the roof pitch 

and use the appropriate venting components.
