Vent Requirements 

 

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never 
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.  Each direct vent 
gas appliance must use its own separate vent system.   

 

In addition to the requirements listed here, follow the requirements provided with the vent. 

 

When the vent passes through a wall a wall thimble is required.  When the vent passes through a 
ceiling a support box or firestop is required.  When the vent passes through the roof, a roof flashing 
and storm collar are required.  Follow the instructions provided with the vent for installing these items.  
NOTE: Wall thimbles may have different dimensions than what is required by this heater.  

 

The vent must maintain the required 1" (26mm) clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire.  
Do not fill air spaces with insulation. 

Altitude Considerations  

 

Failure to adjust the air shutter 
properly may lead to improper 
combustion which can create a 
safety hazard. Consult your dealer 
or installer if you suspect an 
improperly adjusted air shutter. 

 

This heater has been tested at 
altitudes ranging from sea level to 
6,000 feet (1,800 M).  In this 
testing we have found that the 
heater, with its standard orifice, 
burns correctly with just an air 
shutter adjustment. 

 

Approved Vent 

 

Use 6-5/8" (168mm) diameter Simpson Dura-Vent Direct-Vent Pro (or GS)*.  
* Other vent may be approved with this stove.  Check with the vent manufacturer for details. 

 

Always use the high-wind cap (or high-wind sconce cap, part # 46DVA-HSCH). 

 

Installation instructions for Simpson Dura-Vent may be found at www.duravent.com 

Vent Installation 

• 

Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in place. 

• 

Screws are not required to secure the vent.  However, three screws may be used to secure 
vent sections together if desired. 

• 

High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section connection (use 
high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®). 

• 

If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent creates a tight fit.  If 
it does not, apply high temperature sealant to the joints of the affected sections. 

 

Horizontal sections require a 1/4" 

(7mm) 

rise every 12" 

(305mm) 

of travel 

 

Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)  

 

 

Use a firestop whenever 
passing through a ceiling

Vertical Termination  NOTE
always use the  "high-wind" 
version (if applicable)

Use a roof flashing and storm collar 
whenever passing through the roof

Use a support box 
on exposed vent

Vertical Vent 

Requirements

Use a thimble when 
passing through a wall 

Horizontal Termination

Maintain a minimum 1"(25mm)
