VENT INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION PLANNING
There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the
wall thickness.
FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
Select the amount of vertical rise desired. All horizontal run
of venting must have 1 /
4
" rise for every 12" of run towards the
termination.
You may use up to three 90° elbows in this vent configuration. See
Horizontal Termination Configurations on pages 17 and 18.
FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION
Measure the distance from the fireplace floor to the ceiling. Add the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second
story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the roof line.
NOTE: You may use two 45° elbows in place of a 90° elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when using
45° elbows. The appliance is approved for use with three 90° elbows maximum or a combination of 90°
and 45° elbows up to a maximum of 270°.
For two-story applications, firestops are required at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe and
elbows will be required.
You may use a chase with a vent termination with exposed pipe on the exterior of the house. See
Installing Vent System in
a Chase below. If pipe is enclosed in chase, it is not exposed.
It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust.
Certain limitations apply to vent configurations and must be strictly followed.
INSTALLING A VENT SYSTEM IN AN OUTSIDE CHASE
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose venting that runs along the outside of a building. A chase is required
for such venting.
Never run the vent pipe level or
downward. This may cause excessive
temperatures which could cause
a fire.
W
ARNING
Treatment of firestops and construction of the chase may vary from building type to
building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local
building codes. You must follow all local building codes.
NOTICE
When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of
your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Insulation should be considered
a combustible material. Maintain proper clearances to all combustible materials.
