Step 3. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
These models are approved to use D-series direct vent pipe
components and terminations (see Figures 4 and 5). Approved
vent system components are labeled for identification. This
pipe is tested and listed as an approved component of the
fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed
wall. There is no requirement for inspection openings at each
joint within the wall. There is no required pitch for horizontal
vent runs.
NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPO-
NENTS MAY BE USED
.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent
termination kit and should be used in conjunction with this
Installers Guide
.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the type of
fuel burned and the venting configuration used.
Identifying Vent Components
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may include
one, two, or three 90°
elbow assemblies. The relationships of
vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configurations using 90°
elbows
MUST BE
strictly adhered to. The rise to run relation-
ships are shown in the venting drawings and tables. Refer to
the diagrams on the next several pages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90°
elbow. Rise to run ratios in the vent system must be
followed if 45° elbows are used.
This model has vent starting collars on both the top and the
back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide
which
ONE
set of starting collars will be used to attach the
vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain on
the starting collar
NOT
used.
