1.
Maintain 1” (25mm) clearance (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings,
walls, roof, enclosures, attic rafter, or other nearby combustible surfaces. Do not pack air
spaces with insulation. Check
page 15
(Venting Chart) for the maximum vertical rise of
the venting system.
2.
Set the gas appliance in its desired location. Drop a plum bob down from the ceiling to
the position of the appliance flue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the
hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the
roof.
NOTE:
you may wish to relocate the appliance to avoid cutting load-bearing mem-
bers.
3.
A Firestop spacer must be installed in the floor or ceiling of every level. To install the
Firestop spacer in a flat ceiling cut a 10” (254mm) square hole. Frame the hole as shown
Fig. 1. and install the firestop.
4.
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows as outlined in the Venting Chart, nec-
essary to reach from the Appliance adaptor (SDA-3). Ensure that all Simpson Dura-Vent
and/or flexible gas liners are connected and sealed accordingly.
5.
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drill hole placed in the roof as outlined in
Step 2.
6.
The hole should be of sufficient size to meet the minimum requirements for each com-
bustibles of 1” (25mm). Slip the flashing under the shingles (shingles should overlap half
of the flashing) as per Fig.2.
7.
Continue to assemble pipe lengths and/or flexible gas venting.
8.
Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base of the flashing to the roof with roofing nails;
slide storm collar over the section and seal with a mastic.
9.
Install the vertical termination cap by twist-locking it.
NOTE:
•
Apply high temperature sealant to inner and outer pipe on every Simpson Dura-Vent
twist-lock joint. See Fig. 3.
