Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather
conditions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.
When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the
termination where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow
of cascading water onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the
possibility of cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the
water away from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.
Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including
the use of silicone caulking where required.

Installing the Square Horizontal Termination (SV4.5HT-2)
M. Install the desired termination -
1. Install the square termination (SV4.5HT-2)-
For the last step , from outside the exterior wall,
slide the collars of the termination onto the
adapter (the outer over the outer and the inner
inside the inner) until the termination seats against
the exterior wall surface to which it will be
attached. Orient the housing of the termination
with the arrow pointed upwards. Secure the
termination to the exterior wall. The horizontal
termination must not be recessed into the
exterior wall or siding by more than the 1-1/4"
(32 mm) as shown in
Figure 28.
SVHRK Snorkel Cap –The snorkel cap is de-
signed to be fitted into a basement window
box. The SVHRK cap is for use with flex vent
The vertical distance between the inlet and
outlet of the cap is 28 in. (711 mm). pipe.
K. Attach termination adapter - Attach the
adapter (adapter - SV4.5RCH - provided with
the termination) to the vent section or tele-
scoping vent section), elbow or appliance col-
lar as shown in
Figure 27 in the same manner
as any SV4.5 vent component (refer to Step E).
J. Assemble vent run to exterior wall - If not
previously measured, locate the center of the
vent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening as
described in Step B. Assemble the vent system
to point where the terminus of the last section is
within 7 in. (178 mm) to 11-1/4 in. (286 mm)
inboard of the exterior surface to which the SV4.5
HT termination is to be attached, see
Figure 28.
If the terminus of the last section is not within this
distance, use the telescopic vent section
SV4.5LA, as the last vent section. For wall thick-
nesses greater than that shown in
Figure 28,
refer to
Table 3 on page 18. This table lists the
additional venting components needed (in addi-
tion to the termination and adapter) for a particu-
lar range of wall thicknesses.
L. Install Firestop/Spacer at exterior wall -
When using the square termination, install
SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex)
Firestop/Spacer over the opening at the exte-
rior side of the framing, long side up, with the
3 inch spacer clearance at the top as shown in
Figure 27, and nail into place.
(The Firestop/Spacer may also be installed over
the opening at the interior side of the framing.)
It is important to maintain the required clear-
ances to combustibles: 1" (25 mm) at all sides
for all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at the top,
1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at the
bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs
Firestop/Spacer (SV4.5HF) shown
on the exterior side of the wall. It
may also be installed on the
interior side.

IMPORTANT: The vent termination is hot
while in operation and for a period of time
following use of the fireplace. To prevent
contact with hot surfaces, we recommend
the use of a Termination Guard. This can be
purchased at your local dealer.
