Table 21: Venting Components Required for Various Exterior Wall Thicknesses, when using Typical Termination Kits
Vent Components Required
Exterior Wall Thickness
Termination Kit Only
6–9 1/4” (152–235 mm)
Termination Kit and 6” Vent Section (SV4.5L6)
10 3/4–14” (273–356 mm)
Termination Kit and 12” Vent Section (SV4.5L12)
16 3/4–20” (426–508 mm)
Termination Kit and Telescopic Section (SV4.5L12)
11 3/4–20” (299–508 mm)
NOTE:
See
Figure 28
for wall thickness ranges when using SV4.5HTKCT termination kit.
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: On 45” models only, 1” vertical rise is required when using
compact hoizontal termination with a rear vent.
When using Secure Flex
®
, use
wall firestop/spacer SF4.5HF, and
install venting with a minimum of
12” rise. (
