Installation

Rear Vent

2. 45° Corner Installation.

Attach an EEL-45 (45° elbow) directly onto the flue collar. Cut the
EXT-18 to suit, and attach it to the EEL-45. Slide the fireplace into
position and attach to the termination.

Rear Vent Venting Runs

The 

MD38-DV Rear Vent 

has three possible installations which do

not require vertical lift:

Heat Shields

Due to high flue temperatures, heat shields are required on all MD38-
DV installations (except those with vertical terminations) at the point
where the venting connects to the termination. With the heat shield,
vent clearances can be maintained at 1".

See Figure 8.

1. Straight Installation.

The height from the hearth to the center of the termination is
28 ¾". MD38-DV Rear Vent versions are supplied with an 18"
extension pipe (EXT-18) with female/female connections. For
shorter installations, cut the EXT-18 to the desired length.

For extended installations, use the EXT-18 section as supplied for
an 18" vent run.

Note:

For Rear Vent models, maximum horizontal run with no
vertical lift must never exceed 18".

exceed 45°.
