Venting
The FireLuxe Gas Stove has been tested and listed for installation with 4” X 6 5/8” Simpson DuraVent GS,
AmeriVent Direct, Security Secure Vent, ICC Excel Direct and Selkirk DT direct venting components. The total
vent length may not exceed 40 feet, including vertical rise and horizontal run. The vent lengths are measured
from the stove, not the floor. The minimum vertical rise required is 2 feet. The maximum allowed horizontal
vent run is 20 feet when the venting includes at least 5 feet of vertical rise. The maximum allowed horizontal
vent run for vertical rises of less than 5 feet is shown in the venting charts. No more than three elbows may
be used in any installation. The venting charts include the use of one elbow. For the second or third elbows
that are included in the installation, add 4 feet to the actual horizontal run for each elbow to determine the
equivalent horizontal run for the installation.
The venting charts allow a simple way to determine the recommended initial settings for both the air inlet
and exhaust restrictors. These settings have been determined by extensive testing and will be a good starting
point while setting up the stove. Small adjustments from these settings may be needed to account for specific
installation variables. Please see the instructions on pages 21 - 22 for how to adjust the restrictors.
The letters (A-E) designate the position of the air inlet restrictor. When ½ is added to the letter designation, this
indicates that the position is halfway between adjacent letters. The numbers (0-8) indicate the position of the
exhaust restrictor. When ⅛, ¼, ⅜, ½, or ¾ is added to the number designation, this indicates that the position
is fractionally between adjacent numbers. For example, 5¼ is one-fourth the way between 5 and 6.
To use the charts, determine the horizontal run length and vertical rise length (in feet) for your installation.
If more than one elbow is used, add 4 feet to the actual horizontal run length for each additional elbow to
get the equivalent horizontal run for the chart. Note: Remember that a maximum of three elbows is allowed.
Select the venting chart for the fuel type (Natural Gas or Propane (LP) Gas) and find the box on the chart that
corresponds to the vertical rise and actual horizontal run (or equivalent horizontal run, if two or three elbows
are used) and read the settings for the inlet air restrictor (A-E) and exhaust restrictor (0-8).
Examples are shown below and on page 9.
The FireLuxe is shipped with a Simpson DuraVent GS starter section that is specifically designed for the
FireLuxe.
Regardless of the venting brand you chose, you must use the provided DuraVent starter section.
All of the venting brands listed for use with the FireLuxe are compatible with the provided starter section. For
venting system installation details, refer to the instructions provided with the venting system you have chosen.
Each brand has specific installation requirements that must be followed to insure a safe and functional venting
system for your FireLuxe.
Note: The FireLuxe is shipped from the factory with restrictor settings for 2 feet of vertical rise and 1 foot
of horizontal run and for the fuel type listed on the rating plate attached to the rear of the stove.
