DVVK-5F FLEX VENT INSTRUCTIONS
9. Prior to making the vent connections, apply high temperature
sealant (1000°F min.) to the vent connections before
securing with the band clamps provided.
NOTICE
: the
flue pipe end without the adapter is to be installed to the
Termination Cap.
10. Apply sealant to the outside of the flue pipe adapter and
connect to the flex flue pipe. Then insert the adapter into
the 45° elbow’s inner flue pipe. Secure flue adapter with a
minimum of two screws provided.
See Figure 57.
11. Attach the Outer Vent pipe to the 45° elbow with a large
band clamp provided. Sealant may also be used on the outer
vent connections.
12. Check all vent connections for tightness. Make sure
horizontal venting has the proper rise and combustible
clearances required. Refer to venting charts in fireplace

FINISHING INSTALLATION
Use non-combustible materials where indicated for the fireplace
installation. Non-combustible materials do not ignite or burn
as a result of using the fireplace. These include metal, brick,
ceramic, concrete, slate, glass and plaster. Adhesives must be
rated for high temperatures. Any mechanical fasteners used
to install material must also be non-combustible, including wall
anchors and tile spacers. Materials that pass the ASTM E 136
test (Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical
Tube Furnace at 750C) are considered non-combustible.
Figures 6 - 9
on Pages 12 and 13 shows the minimum vertical
and corresponding maximum horizontal dimensions of mantels
or other combustible projections above the top front edge of the
fireplace.
Only non-combustible materials may be used to cover the black
fireplace front.
WARNING
When finishing the fireplace never obstruct or modify the
air inlet/outlet louvers in any manner. Provide adequate
clearances around air openings into the combustion
chamber.
CAUTION
If the joints between the finished wall and the fireplace
surround (top and sides) are sealed, a 300 Degree F
minimum sealant material must be used. These joints are
not required to be sealed. Only non-combustible material
(using 300 Degree F minimum adhesive if needed), can be
applied as facing to the fireplace surround.
