J.
Assemble vent run to exterior wall -
If not
previously measured, locate the center of the
vent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening as
described in
Step B
. Assemble the vent system
to point where the terminus of the last section is
located relative to the exterior surface to which
the termination is to be attached as shown in
Figure 28 and Table 10 on Pages 8 and 9
.
If the terminus of the last section is not within
this distance, use the
telescopic vent section
SV4.5LA,
as the last vent section. For wall
thicknesses greater than that shown in
Figure
28
, refer to
Table 10 on Page 9
. This Table
lists the additional venting components needed
(in addition to the termination and adapter) for
a particular range of wall thicknesses.
K.
Attach termination adapter -
Attach the
adapter (adapter - SV4.5RCH - provided with the
termination) to the vent section or telescoping
vent section), elbow or appliance collar as shown
in
Figure 27
in the same manner as any SV4.5
vent component (refer to
Step E
).
L.
Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall -
When using the termination, install SV4.5HF
(Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex) Firestop/
Spacer over the opening at the exterior side
of the framing, long side up, with the 3 inch
spacer clearance at the top as shown in
Figure
27
, and nail into place.
(The Firestop/Spacer may also be installed over
the opening at the interior side of framing).
M. Install the Termination (SV4.5HT-2 or
SV4.5HTSS)
For the last step, from outside the exterior
wall, slide the collars of the termination onto
the adapter (the outer inside the outer and the
inner ouside the inner) until the termination
seats against the exterior wall surface to which
it will be attached. Orient the housing of the
termination with the arrow pointed upwards.
Secure the termination to the exterior wall.
The
horizontal termination must not be recessed
into the exterior wall or siding by more than
the -/4" (32 mm)
as shown in
Figure 28
.
Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather condi-
tions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.
When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termina-
tion where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow of cascad-
ing water onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the possibility of
cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the water away
from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.
Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including
the use of silicone caulking where required.

INSTALLING HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
IMPORTANT: The vent termination is hot
while in operation and for a period of
time following the use of the fireplace.
To prevent contact with hot surfaces,
we recommend the use of a Termina-
tion Guard. See Page 32. This can be
purchased at your local dealer.
