Read all instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may create a fire
or other safety hazard, and will void the warranty.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS:
• Do not install any damaged venting or vent components.
• Do not modify any vent or termination component.
• Do not install any vent component that is not an approved vent component for this appliance.
• Do not use any instructions other that those included in this manual or those included by the vent component
manufacturer with the venting. When there are discrepancies between the two, this manual will be considered
the final authority.
Consult your local building codes before beginning the installation.
WARNING
•
Always maintain required clearances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent a fire hazard.
Do not fill air spaces with insulation. Unless stated otherwise, clearances on horizontal vent sections
are 2” (51mm) to combustible materials. Clearances to vertical vent sections are 1” (25mm) to
combustible clearances.
•
The fireplace and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building. Each direct
vent fireplace must use its own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
•
The flow of combustion and ventilation air not be obstructed.

NSTALLATION
:
Step 1
. Set the fireplace in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when
the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the appliance.
Step 2.
Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock connections. Assemble the desired
combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance. See the sections on

for some of the possible vent pathway options. All installations must
fall within the Allowable Vent Configurations shown in Figure 20.
Notes:
(1) Twist-lock procedure: Four (4) indentations, located on the
female ends of pipes and fittings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings, by orienting
the four pipe indentations so they match and slide into the
four (4) entry slots on the male ends. Push the pipe sections
completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn, until the two (2) sections are
fully locked.
(2) Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every 3 feet (915mm).
Wall Straps are available for this purpose.
(3) Sealant is only necessary on the outer tube of the GS Pipe. Run
a 1⁄8 inch (3mm) wide bead of sealant around the male end of
the outer sleeve, as shown in Figure 34, and twist-lock the pipes
or fittings together.
Step 3
. With the adaptor and pipe attached to the fireplace, slide the fireplace into its correct location, and mark
the wall for a square hole of the appropriate size. Use 11”x11” (280x280mm) square hole for 8” x 5” pipe.
The center of the square hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure
35. Cut and frame the square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being
penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a hole with zero
clearance to the pipe is acceptable.
