Instruction
VSK7 Vertical Flex Vent Kit Installation
1. Locate the fireplace.
2. Mark ceiling above unit where flex will come
through.
*-REFER TO VERTICAL TERMINATION LOCATION
CHART
3. Ceiling opening should be a minimum of 9
¹⁄₂
" x 9
¹⁄₂
"
(241 x 241mm) and framed to that size.
4. Mark opening in roof and cut a hole minimum 9
¹⁄₂
” x
9
¹⁄₂
” (241 x 241mm) and frame to that size.
5. Place fireplace in proper location and secure to the
floor.
6. Install the firestop at the ceiling level.
7. If an attic space (insulated or not) is located above
the ceiling, the firestop should be installed to the
underside of the ceiling. The firestop maintains the
proper air-space clearance from the vent to insula-
tion and building materials. An attic insulation shield
(AS7-8) may be used above the firestop to keep
attic insulation spaced away from the vent system.
8. Rigid pipe section included with vertical termination
must be used in conjunction with the roof support so
that the termination is secure in winds. All vent kit
components can be assembled on the ground first,
then lift complete assembly onto the roof and feed
flex vent down thru the roof opening and firestop
thimble assembly. Then trim off unneeded flex at
unit and make the connection at the fireplace flue
and inlet collars. Make sure vent cap will be in
accordance with the vertical termination location
chart. Install the roof flashing below the shingles
across the top half, and above the shingles on the
lower half.
9. Install storm collar and caulk around the pipe.
