Rigid Vent Pipe Connections
Sealant is not required to assemble DVB/DVB fireplace
venting. Do not use silicone sealant at the flue exhaust
connections.
1. Find the pipe section’s direction label. The label arrow
shall be pointed away from the firebox and toward the
termination. Firmly insert the initial rigid section/elbow
into the firebox outer collar. Simpson “GS” and Selkirk
“DT” outer walls are hemmed and will snap into the
collar’s tabs. Attach Simpson’s DirectVent Pro by fully
inserting into the collar and securing with self tapping
screws. The screws shall only penetrate the flue outer
wall.
Refer to vent manufacturer’s installation instructions to
properly assemble flue.
. Locate and cut the vent opening in the wall. For com-
bustible walls first frame in opening.

4. Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the
outside edge of vent cap. Position the vent cap in the
center of hole on the exterior wall with the word “UP”
on the vent cap facing up. Insure proper clearance of
1" to combustibles is maintained to the flue. Attach the
vent cap with four wood screws supplied.

Note: Replace the wood screws with appropriate
fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types
of siding.
A vinyl siding standoff (part #950) must be used with
the Simpson/Selkirk Horizontal Termination (part #985)
on vinyl, stucco or wood-clad exterior walls. Apply non-
hardening mastic around outside edge of the standoff
instead of the vent cap assembly
.
