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 below 7
Z\x
feet of vertical rise. With 7
Z\x
feet or more
vertical rise off top of fireplace, the horizontal run may be level. NEVER run vent piping down.
You may use up to three 90° elbows in this vent configuration. See
Horizontal Termination
Configurations on Pages 13 and 14.
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.

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.

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.

always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum clearances
to combustibles for horizontal vent pipe are 3" at the top and 1" at the sides and bottom
of the vent system until the pipe penetrates the nearest vertical wall (1" required). a
1" minimum clearance all around the pipe must be maintained at outside wall and on
vertical runs. Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This
could cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard.
