The vent chart should be read in conjunction with the
following vent installation instructions to determine the
relationship of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of
the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal
vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this
dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 12)
locate the point intersecting with slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical
line to the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the
fireplace in accordance with same.
Example A:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the
fireplace is 11’ (3.4m) the horizontal run to the face
of the outer wall must not exceed 14’ (4.3m).
Example B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is
7’ (2.14m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer
wall must not exceed 8
¹⁄₂
’ (2.6m).
How to Use the Vent Graph
Rear Wall Venting Applications
When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may
be vented directly to a termination located on the rear
wall behind the appliance.
•
Only CFM Corporation venting components are
approved to be used in these applications. (Refer to
“Venting Components” listed for different installation
requirements)
•
The maximum horizontal distance between the rear
of the appliance (or end of the transition elbow in a
corner application) and the outside face of the rear
wall is 20” (508mm). (Fig. 13)
•
Only one 45
°
elbow is allowed in these installations.
•
Minimum clearances between vent pipe and com-
bustible materials are as follows:
Top - 2” (50mm)
Sides - 1” (25mm)
Bottom - 1” (25mm)
