General Vent Installation Information
Installation Of Side Wall Venting
1. The minimum distance from the bottom of fireplace to centre of vent is 33 inch
(81 cm) (See Figure 1). Cut a hole through the wall allowing for a 11” x 11”
(inside diameter) in combustible walls for wall thimble or an 8” diameter hole in a
non-combustible wall (See Figure 2).
2. Note clearance to combustible above 90 degree bend is 2
1
/
2
”. For minimum
enclosures see Page 7.
3. Select the approximate vent length, precise measurements are not needed as your
flex pipe can be expanded to twice its shipped length for ease of installation.
4. To install wall thimble centre over 11” x 11” (inch) framing from both sides of
wall and secure. Route flex vent pipe through wall thimble (See Figure 1).
5. Before joining pipes, apply a bead of high temperature sealant (Mill Pac) to end of
pipe. First attach the four inch (4”) flue pipe to the vent termination with sealant
and secure with 4 screws provided. At this time make sure the spacer springs are
attached to the (4”) flex pipe as required. Then attach the seven inch (7”) pipe by
the same method.
6. Mount vent termination and seal to wall using caulking around the wall thimble to
weather proof. After installing the vent termination, double check to make sure the
pipe extends properly through wall thimble and into vent termination.
7. Before joining pipes to fireplace flue, apply a bead of high temperature sealant
(Mill Pac) to end of pipe. First attach the four inch (4”) flue pipe to fireplace with
sealant and secure with 4 screws provided. At this time verify that the spacer
springs are attached properly to the (4”) flex pipe as required. Then attach the
seven inch (7”) pipe by the same method.
8. Support horizontal pipes every two (2) feet (61 cm) with metal strap bands. Re-
check fireplace to make sure it is levelled and properly positioned and secured.
9. Support vertical pipes to maintain a minimum of 1” or greater clearance to com-
bustibles with metal strapping bands.
10. If finishing the outside wall with vinyl or wood siding it is recommended that a
Siding Shield be installed, Part Number ZDVSSLR.

RIGID OR HARD PIPE
When using Simpson Duravent, AmeriVent pipe, ICC Excel Direct, Metal Fab Sure-Seal DV and or
Selkirk Direct Temp a Duravent hardpipe adapter must be used (part # ZDVDFA for fireplaces and part #
ZDVDKA for Stoves, Serenity and ZDV3624B). Follow installation instructions provided by Simpson
Duravent/AmeriVent/Selkirk Direct Temp, ICC Excel Direct, Metal Fab Sure-Seal DV for installation of
pipe and adhere to the clearance to combustibles provided in this manual. Apply a bead of Mill Pac high
temp sealant to all joints of pipes, adapters and termination, when using Kingsman Flex(Z-Flex)Venting
venting and Simpson Duravent venting.
NOTE:
Increase framing depth by one inch when using hardpipe.
Flex Pipe Venting
Kingsman Flex pipe is shipped in unexpanded length. When installing pipe expand the lengths. Pipe can
be expanded to twice their lengths e.g. 4ft. to 8ft. Fully expand pipe and cut off excess.
Do not use more than 2 couplers to extend short pipes. Single sections are preferred in an installation
attaching at the fireplace and termination.
Place the spring spaces provided approximately every two feet to stabilize 4” flex in the center of 7” flex.
When forming bends place spring in bend or before and after. (See Fig. 1).
Horizontal runs require support metal straps every 2 feet. In off set installation support straps should be
used to stabilize pipe.
Expand 4” and 7” flex pipe to the point that the 7” protrudes approximately 2 to 3 inches past outer wall and
the 4” flex protrudes approximately 2 to 3 inches past the 7” flex. See Fig. 1. Attach the 4” pipe to the termi-
nation first and secure with sealant and screws then attach the 7” flex to the termination with caulking and
screws. Termination may then be moved back to the outer wall and attached to home screwing into the
framing. Silicone around termination to waterproof. If siding shield is going to be used attach this using
same attaching hole as the top of termination after termination has been caulked for water proofing.
Use Hi Temp Sealant
Apply a bead of mill pac high temp sealant to all joints and use four screws to secure each pipe at fireplace,
termination and any joint if joining any sections of pipe.
NOTE:
It is critical to the proper and safe
operation of this fireplace that on all connec-
tions the inner liner and the outer casing are
both caulked with liberal amounts of sealant.
Do not use any kind of tape or silicone other
than that recommended in this manual, Mill
Pac Sealant
