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.

Install the U-shaped vent restrictor in any vent run with more than
6 ft of vertical rise. See

for more information.
See
Table 19
as an aid in venting component selection for a particular
range of exterior wall thicknesses.
NOTE
: Only in top vent where elbow is connected at fireplace collar is it
allowed to count elbow as 1 ft. vertical (V) rise.
NOTE
:
The Wall Heatshield provided shall be installed per
instructions on Page 34 (see instruction #12 and Figure 26)
DRL3535/DRL3545 model series only.
NOTE: 35” & 45” model = Strongly recommend at
least 1 ft of vertical rise directly off top of unit.
55” = 1 ft of vertical rise is required directly off unit
