It is important to maintain the required clear-

ances to combustibles: 1" (25 mm) at all sides 

for all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at the 

top, 1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at 

the bottom for all horizontal / inclined runs.

J. Assemble vent run to exterior wall - If not 

previously measured, locate the center of the 

vent at the exterior wall.  Prepare an opening 

as  described  in  Step  B.    Assemble  the  vent 

system to point where the terminus of the last 

section is located relative to the exterior surface 

to which the termination is to be attached as 

shown in 

Figure 34

If the terminus of the last section is not within 

this distance, use the telescopic vent section 

SV4.5LA,  as  the  last  vent  section.  For  wall 

thicknesses greater than that shown in 

Figure 

35

, refer to 

Table 8 on Page 22

. This Table lists  

the additional venting components needed (in 

addition to the termination and adapter) for a 

particular range of wall thicknesses.

K.  Attach  termination  adapter  -  Attach  the 

adapter (SV4.5RCH - provided with the  termi-

nation) to the vent section or telescoping vent 

section), elbow or appliance collar as shown in 

Figures 34 and 35 

in the same manner as any 

SV4.5 vent component (refer to 

Step E)

.

L. Install Firestop / Spacer at exterior wall 

-   When using the square termination, install  

SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex) 

Firestop / Spacer over the opening at the exterior 

side of the framing, long side up, with the 3 inch 

spacer clearance at the top as shown in 

Figure 

34

, and nail into place.

(The Firestop/Spacer may also be installed over 

the opening at the interior side of framing).

M. Install the Square Termination (SV4.5HT-2) 

For the last step, from outside the exterior wall, 

slide  the  collars  of  the  termination  onto  the 

adapter until the termination seats against the 

exterior wall surface to which it will be attached.  

Orient the housing of the termination with the 

arrow pointed upwards.  Secure the termination 

to the exterior wall.  The horizontal termination 

must not be recessed into the exterior wall 

or siding by more than the 1-1/4" (32 mm) as 

shown in 

Figure 35

.

IMPORTANT:  The vent termination is hot 

while in operation and for a period of time 

following the use of the fireplace.  Young 

children should be carefully supervised 

when they are in the same area as a hot 

termination. To prevent contact with hot 

surfaces,  we  recommend  the  use  of  a 

Termination Guard

. See

 Page 34.

Termination

Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather condi-

tions.  Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.

When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termina-

tion where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow of cascad-

ing water onto the termination cap.  If the cap must be placed where the possibility of 

cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the water away 

from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.

Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including 

the use of silicon caulking where required.
