Horizontal Vent Figures/Tables
NOTE:
Secure Vent
®
rigid vent pipe and terminal are shown in the figures. Secure Flex
®
flexible vent pipe and
terminal may also be used.
NOTE:
Two (2) 45° elbows may be used in place of one (1) 90° elbow. The same rise to run ratios, as shown in the
venting figures for 90° elbows, must be followed if 45° elbows are used.
NOTE:
Maintain the horizontal/inclined run in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The recommended incline
is approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m) horizontal, in a direction away from the fireplace. Smaller rise per
foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to at or near level. Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a constant
surface and adjust the support straps as necessary.
NOTE:
SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer must be used any time vent pipe passes
through a combustible floor or ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer must be used
any time vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
WARNING
Do not join separate sections of concentric flexible vent together.

Compact termination (SV4.5HTKCT) shown.
See
Table 21
as an aid in venting component selection for a
particular range of exterior wall thicknesses.
Note: “H” is horizontal distance from rear of unit to outer wall
surface
Note:
Use base vent restrictor with breakaway portion raised
with rear horizontal and slip only on the 35” model when rear
venting with only a slip collar and a termination.
H = 28 in. (711 mm) Maximum

When using Secure Flex
®
, use
wall firestop/spacer SF4.5HF, and
install venting with a minimum of
12” rise. (

Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any vent run with
more than 4 ft of vertical rise. See Page 22 for more
information.

NOTE: Only in top vent where elbow is connected at fireplace collar
is it allowed to count elbow as 1 ft. vertical (V) rise.
