HOW TO USE THE VENT GRAPH

The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the following 

vent installation instructions to determine the relationship between 

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 below, locate the point intersecting with 

the 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
