NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE
grade installations, follow national
or local code requirements.
*Diagrams 3 & 4: As specified in CGA B149
Installation Code. Local codes or regulations
may require different clearances.
Diagram 1
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be supported
every three feet. Wall straps are available
for this purpose.
5. Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" (3.04 m x 3.04
m) square hole. The center of the square
hole should line up with the centerline of
the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10
inch square hole in the exterior wall where
the vent will be terminated. If the wall
being penetrated is constructed of non-
combustible material, i.e. masonry block or
concrete, a 7"(178mm) dia. (7-1/2" / 191mm
dia. for flex) hole is acceptable.

Diagram 3
Note: Riser Vent
is only for use
in above grade
terminations.
NOTE:
For best results and optimum perfor-
mance with each approved venting system,
it is highly recommended to apply “Mill-
Pac” sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe
connection. Failure to do so may result in
drafting or performance issues not covered
under warranty.
Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum height is
achieved by installing a 90
o
elbow directly to
the rigid pipe adaptor.
Notes:
a)
The horizontal run of vent must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch (6 mm) rise for every
1 foot of run towards the termination.
Never allow the vent to run downward.
This could cause high temperatures
and may present the possibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal vent
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. For
External Vent Terminal Locations, see
Exterior Vent Termination Location.
c)
Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, 14 inch
(356 mm) and 36 inch (914 mm) tall
Snorkel Terminations are available, as
well as the standard Riser Vent. Follow
the same installation procedures as used
for standard Horizontal Termination.
NEVER install the snorkel upside down
.
Below Grade Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e.
b a s e m e n t a p -
plication, proper
drainage must be
provided to prevent
water from enter-
ing the Snorkel
Termination. Refer
to Diagram 4. Do
not attempt to en-
close the Snorkel
within the wall, or
any other type of
enclosure.
Unit Installation With
Horizontal Termination
Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with
the components.
1. Set the unit in its desired location. Check
to determine if wall studs or roof rafters
are in the way when the venting system is
attached. If this is the case, you may want
to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in
the gas preferably on the right side of the
unit and the electrical (junction block is on
the left side) on the left.
2. Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed with
special twist-lock connections to connect the
venting system to the appliance flue outlet. A
twist-lock appliance adaptor is an available
option that must be used in conjunction with
the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent system.
3. Put a bead of Mill-Pac inside the outer section
of the adapter and on the inner collar. Slip
the adapter over the existing inner and outer
flue collar and fasten to the outer collar only
with the 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes
will make this easier). Level the fireplace and
fasten it to the framing using nails or screws
through the nailing strips.
4. Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Notes:
a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,
located on the female ends of pipes and
fittings, are designed to slide straight
onto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fittings, by orienting the four pipe
indentations so they match and slide
in to the four entry slots on the male
ends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sections
completely together, then twist-lock
one section clockwise approximately
one-quarter turn, until the two sections
are fully locked. The female locking lugs
will not be visible from the outside, on
the Black Pipe or fittings. They may be
located by examining the inside of the
female ends.
6)
The arrow on the vent cap should be
pointing up.
Insure that the 1-1/2" (38
mm) clearances to combustible materials
are maintained (Diagram 4). Install the
termination cap.
