Important Safety Information
The termination cap MUST be vented directly to the outside.
The termination kit MUST NEVER be connected to a chimney
flue(s) servicing a separate solid-fuel burning appliance or
any other appliances.
• Termination cap MUST NOT be recessed into a wall (see
Figure 19).
• The installation must conform with local codes or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 (in the United States) or with the current
installation code CSA B149 (in Canada).
Before You Start
Plan your installation. Set the stove in place and survey how
to best vent the unit. Select the appropriate termination kit
and vent pipe for the installation. Read these instructions and
the stove Homeowner’s Manual before beginning installation.
After vent configuration has been decided, begin attaching
pipe to unit.

CAUTION
!
All HHT Direct Vent Stoves have been tested and
approved to ANSI/CSA Standards and will operate safely
when installed in accordance with this instruction manual.
Read all instructions before starting installation, then follow
these instructions carefully to maximize stove performance
and safety. Report damaged parts to your dealer.
WARNING
!
Always maintain minimum clearances around vent
systems. Rear/Top Vent Vertical Side wall: Horizontal
sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3” (76
mm) clearances to combustibles at the top of the flue and
1” (25 mm) clearance at the sides and bottom until the flue
penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1” clearance all
around the flue is acceptable at this point of penetration. If
vertical rise is 71⁄2 feet (2.3 m) or higher when top venting,
the clearance to combustibles is 1” on all sides of the
horizontal run. FOR VERTICAL RUNS ONLY, maintain a
1” (25 mm) minimum clearance to all sides. Do not pack
the open air spaces around the stove or flue with insulation
or other materials. Any horizontal run must have a 1/4” rise
for every one (1) foot of run towards the vent termination.
Never run the vent level or down.
WARNING
!
Failure to follow these instructions may create a possible
fire hazard and will void the warranty.
WARNING
!
Any common venting of this gas appliance with other gas
appliances is not allowed.
• These models are approved to use HHT direct vent pipe
components and HHT termination kits, and DuraVent
components. No other venting system components may
be used.
•
Horizontal runs must be supported every 3 feet (914 mm)
using wall straps. Vertical runs must be supported every
8 feet (2.4 m) using wall straps. Slip wall straps loosely
on to pipe. Attach straps to framing members using nails
or screws. Tighten nut/bolt to secure pipe.
• The stove and venting system should be inspected
before initial use and at least annually by a qualified
field service person. Inspect the external vent cap on a
regular basis to make sure that no debris is interfering
with the airflow. Inspect entire venting system to ensure
proper function.
