Figure 25

If the vent system extends more than 5' (1.5 

m) above the roof flashing, stabilizers may be 

necessary. Additional screws may be used at 

section joints for added stability. Guide wires 

may be attached to the joint for additional sup-

port on multiple joint configurations.

Continue installation of horizontal/inclined 

sections - 

Continue with the installation of the 

straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run 

as described in 

Step C.

 Install support straps 

every 5 ft (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined 

vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape. 

It is very important that the horizontal/inclined 

run be maintained in a straight (no dips), 

slightly elevated plane. The recommended 

incline is approximately 1/4" per foot (20 mm 

per meter) horizontal, in a direction away from 

the fireplace. 

The rise per foot run ratios that 

are smaller are acceptable all the way down 

to at or near level.

 

Use a carpenter’s level to 

measure from a constant surface and adjust 

the support straps as necessary. 

It is important to maintain the required 

clearances to combustibles: 1" (25 mm) at all 

sides for all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at 

the top, 1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) 

at the bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.

H.

 

Frame roof opening - 

Identify location for 

vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per 

Roof Framing Chart and 

Figure 24

.

F. Change vent direction to horizontal/inclined 

run - 

At transition from or to a horizontal/

inclined run, install the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 

elbows in the same manner as the straight vent 

sections. The elbows feature a twist section to 

allow them to be routed about the center axis 

of their initial collar section to align with the 

required direction of the next vent run element. 

Twist elbow sections in a clockwise direction 

only so as to avoid the possiblity of unlocking 

any of the previously connected vent sections.

K. Install the vertical termination - 

The final 

step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1 

Vertical Termination. Extend the vent sections 

to the height as shown in the "Vertical vent 

termination section" on

section. Align the termination over the end of 

the previously installed section, adjusting the 

radial alignment until the four locking dimples 

of the termination are aligned with the inlets of 

the four incline channels of the last vent section. 

Push the termination down until it fully engages, 

then twist the termination clockwise running the 

dimples down and along the incline channels 

until they seat at the end of the channels.

I.

 

Install the roof flashing - 

Extend the vent 

sections through the roof structure. Install the 

roof flashing over the vent section and posi-

tion such that the vent column rises vertically 

(use carpenters level) (

Figure 25

 ). Nail along 

perimeter to secure flashing or adjust roofing to 

overlap the flashing edges at top and sides only 

and trim where necessary. Seal the top and both 

sides of the flashing with waterproof caulking.

J. Install the storm collar - 

Install the storm 

collar, supplied with the flashing, over the vent/

flashing joint. See 

Figure 25

Loosen the storm 

collar screw. Slide collar down until it meets 

the top of the flashing. Tighten the adjusting 

screw. Apply non-combustible caulking or 

mastic around the circumference of the joint 

to provide a water tight seal.
