VENT INFORMATION
Begin the vent system installation by identifying the path
the vent will take from the fireplace to the power-vent.
Verify clearances are met throughout the entire path of the
venting system.
Determine how the vent system will be terminated,
(vertically or horizontally). Verify clearances for the
termination.
NOTICE: If terminated vertically, DVKCVP (Vertical
Conversion Kit) is required.
NOTICE: This Power-Vent cannot be vented out the rear
of the fireplace.

with aluminum tape or silicone sealant rated above
300°F/149°C. The inner flue joints do not require any
sealant.
This power vent can be routed in any
path as long as it meets the following
requirements:
• Maximum vertical distance above fireplace floor=50 ft
• Maximum effective length =
50 ft
(effective length
calculations shown in
