Flex VeNt PIPe
Follow Steps 1 and 2 on Page 16.
Step 3
Install the 4” (102 mm) flex vent pipe to the appliance col-
lars described in “General Information Assembling Vent
Pipes”, Page 13. If the installation requires a 45° angle,
grasp the vent pipe close to the appliance collar and bend
to 45°. DO NOT exceed 45°.
Figure 19
Install the 7” vent pipe in the same manner as Step 2.
Note:
There must be a 1/2” (13 mm) rise in a 12” (305
mm) length of flex vent.
Step 4
Assemble the flex vent to the collars on the termination as
you did on the appliance.

Note:
For all top vent installations where a 90° elbow
is the first pipe piece towards a sidewall termination (up
and out), an open-center ringed flue restrictor must be
installed onto the top edge of the firebox flue adapter. To
create this open-center restrictor, twist and break off the
center rib of the supplied flue restrictor. The installed part
should appear similar to that show n in
Figure 21.
Since it is very important
that the venting system
maintain its balance be-
tween the combustion air
intake and the flue gas ex-
haust, certain limitations
as to vent configu-
rations apply and
must be strictly ad-
hered to.
The Vent Graph,
showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal
side wall venting, will help to determine the various di-
mensions allowable.
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combus-
tible materials is 3" (76 mm) on top, and 1" (25 mm) on
the bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.
When vent termination exits through foundations less
than 20” (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe
must flush up with the siding.
It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that mini-
mizes 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 the
Transition Elbow) to the face of the outer wall.
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this por-
tion of the vent assembly.
