PDV20/SDVR Installation Procedure   
 – for Pinnacle Direct Vent 

1. Attach the Snapstat to the Bracket using two #10 x 

1/2” phillips screws as shown in Figure 1.

2. Locate and remove the 1/4-20 x 3/8” hex head bolt 

installed in the hole in the right rear ledge of the fire-
box. (A, Fig. 1) Use that bolt to secure the Snapstat 
Bracket to the firebox. The mounting hole is slotted to 
let you adjust the bracket so that the snapstat head 
makes contact with the firebox surface. (Fig. 1)

3. Attach the Fan to the firebox by engaging the upper 

flange of the fan skirt under the lower edge of the 
Shroud and secure the skirt with the four #10 x 1/2”
