7. Ensure that the pipe clearances to combus-
tible materials are maintained (Diagram 5).
Install the termination cap.
Note: If installing termination on a
vinyl siding covered wall, a vinyl
siding standoff or furring strips
must be used to ensure that the
termination is not recessed into
the siding.
The four wood screws provided should be re-
placed with appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
8. Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble over the vent pipe. The wall thimble
is required for all horizontal terminations.
9. Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the vent
pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important
that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap
sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum
pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches (32mm). Secure
the connection between the vent pipe and
the vent cap.
10. Install wall thimble in the center of the framed
hole and attach with wood screws (Diagram
4).
Install the vent system according to the manufacturer's
instructions included with the components.
1. Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the
way when the venting system is attached. If this
is the case, you may want to adjust the location
of the unit. Rough in the gas preferably on the
right side of the unit and the electrical (junction
block is on the left side) on the left.
2. Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed with
special twist-lock connections to connect the
venting system to the appliance flue outlet. A
twist-lock appliance adaptor is required.
3. In conjunction with the Approved Vent system,
install the adaptor after the unit is set in its
desired location. Put a bead of Mill-Pac inside
the outer section of the adapter and a bead of
on the inner collar. Slip the adapter over the
existing inner and outer flue collar. Fasten to
the outer collar only with the 3 supplied screws
(drilling pilot holes will make this easier).
4. Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the top and side
nailing strips.
Diagram 1
Note: For best results and optimum
performance with each approved
venting system, it is highly
recommended to apply “Mill-
Pac” sealant (supplied) to every
inner pipe connection. Failure to
do so may result in drafting or
performance issues not covered
under warranty. Horizontal runs
of vent must be supported every
3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are
available for this purpose.

6. Mark the wall for a square hole.-see chart
to left for size. The center of the square hole
should line up with the center-line of the
horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the square
hole in the exterior wall where the vent will
be terminated. See Diagram 2 for center line
requirements.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block
or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter hole
is acceptable.
Note:
a)
The horizontal run of vent must be level, or
have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run
towards the termination. Never allow the
vent to run downward. This could cause
high temperatures and may present the
possibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal vent
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. See
"Exterior Vent Termination Locations"
section for more details.
5. Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.

(Rigid Vent Systems)
Below are the recommended framing
dimensions (inside measurements) for the
4" x 6-5/8" and 5" x 8" rigid vent terminations -
for use with a firestop or wall thimble.
* Clearances noted below must be maintained;
except when passing through a wall, ceiling or at the
termination where the use of a firestop or wall thimble
reduces clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm).
