Vertical Sidewall Installations
Important!
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible
materials is 3 inch (76 mm) on top, and 1 inch (25 mm) on bottom
and sides.
Important!
When vent termination exits through foundation less
than 20 inch (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must
extend outward so that the horizontal vent termination is located
flush to, or beyond the outcrop siding.
Information on Various Venting Routes and Components
Important:
Locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the
number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
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 graph showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal
side wall venting will help to determine the various vent lengths
allowable.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from
the flue collar of the fireplace to the face of the outer wall.
Venting termination shall not be recessed into wall or siding.
