VENT INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION PLANNING

“B” VENT PIPE

See  venting  installation  instructions  provided  by  the  B-
Vent manufacturer.

NOTE:

  This  APPLIANCE  MUST  BE  INSTALLED  using 

“B” vent type pipe that has been listed by a nationally rec-
ognized testing agency.
Refer to B-Vent Pipe Sizing chart for proper elbow offset 
runs.

Chimney centerline dimensions are referenced on 

Pages 

6 & 7, Figures 2 & 3

• 

Minimum vertical chimney height - 8’ as measured 
from top of unit to top of termination.

• 

Maximum  vertical  height    -  40’  as  measured  from 
top of unit to top of termination.

  Minimum  chimney  height  with  two  (2)  90°  elbows 

- 8’.

• 

Elbow  requirements: Allow  a  maximum  of  two  (2) 
90° elbows or four (4) 45° elbows per installation.

 

NOTE: Two (2) 45° elbows = one (1) 90° elbow

• 

Horizontal run must never exceed 50% of the height 
of the vent system. Horizontal runs are measured 
center pipe to center pipe.

  Horizontal runs must have a minimum 1/4” rise per 

foot and may not run level or down hill.

Attaching 4” Flue to BBV:

  The  first  section  of  B-vent  flue  should  overlap 

the  appliance  collar. The  appliance  collar  may  be 
crimped to ease the installation of the first section 
of flue.

•  

Do not penetrate the pipe inner liner with sheet met-
al screws. Attach the initial flue section to the top 
of the firebox chassis with 1/4” self-tapping screws 
and  plumbers  strap.  Attach  the  strap  toward  the 
bottom of the flue section and pull taut for proper 
tension to the firebox.

Attaching 6” Flue to SBV:

  The 6” appliance collar is slightly larger that the in-

ner wall of most B-vent 6” pipe sections. Install the 
first  section  of  B-vent  by  slipping  the  flue’s  inner 
wall tot he inside of the appliance collar. The B-vent 
outer  wall  will  slip  to  the  outside  of  the  appliance 
collar.

  Do not penetrate the pipe inner line with sheet met-

al screws. Attach the initial flue section tot he top 
of the firebox chassis with 1/4” self-tapping screws 
and  plumber’s  strap.  Attach  the  strap  toward  the 
bottom of the flue section and pull taut for proper 
tension to the firebox.

Support the Pipe

  Support horizontal runs a minimum of every five (5) 

feet.  Refer  to  vent  manufacturer’s  instructions  for 
proper support on vertical runs (45° or less).

  Support offsets so the weight of the pipe is not bear-

ing down on the elbows.

W

ARNING

Read all instructions completely and thoroughly before attempting installation. 
Failure to do so could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life. 
Operation of improperly installed and maintained venting system could result in 
serious injury, property damage or loss of life.

NOTICE

Failure  to  follow  these  in-
structions will void the war-
ranty.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Consult local building codes before beginning the instal-

installer must read this fireplace manual and vent kit in-
structions.
Only  a  qualified  installer/service  person  should  install 
venting  system.  The  installer  must  follow  these  safety 
rules:

• 

Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection.

• 

Use extreme caution when using ladders or when 
on rooftops.

• 

Be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and

The following actions will void the warranty on your vent-
ing system:

• 

Installation of any damaged venting component.

•
