Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its bal-
ance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust,
certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly
adhered to.
The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal
side wall venting, will help to determine the various dimensions allowable.
Figure 22
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is
3" on top and 1" from bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.
When vent termination exits through foundations less than 20" below siding
outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with the siding.
It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number
of offsets and horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the
flue collar of the fireplace (or the top of he Transition Elbow) to the
face of the outer wall.
•
The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall instal-
lation is three (3).
Figure 23
•
If a 90° elbow is fitted directly on top of the fireplace flange
the maximum horizontal vent run before the termination
or a vertical rise is 36” (914 mm).
