7)
Ensure that the pipe clearances to
combustible materials are maintained
(Diagram 3). Install the termination cap.
The four wood screws provided should be re-
placed with appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
8)
Before connecting the horizontal run of flue
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble over the vent pipe. The wall thimble
is required for all horizontal terminations.
9)
Slide the appliance and flue assembly towards
the wall carefully inserting the flue pipe into
the flue cap assembly. It is important that the
flue pipe extends into the flue cap sufficient
distance so as to result in a minimum pipe
overlap of 32mm. Secure the connection
between the flue pipe and the flue cap.
10)
Install wall thimble in the center of the 279mm
square and attach with wood screws (Diagram
4).
UNIT INSTALLATION WITH
HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
(Rigid Flue Systems)
A top clearance of 76mm and side & bottom
clearance of 51mm must be maintained; ex-
cept when passing through a wall, ceiling,
or at the termination where the use of a
firestop or wall thimble reduces the required
clearance to 38mm. We recommend framing
a 279mm x 279mm (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting the
termination.
Install the flue 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 flueing 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.
2)
Simpson Dura-Vent Flue 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
required.
Note: If using Flomet Rigid Flue System (Part
No: 946-686), no Twist-lock appliance
adaptor is required.
3)
In conjunction with the Simpson Direct Vent
Pro system, install the adaptor after the unit
is set in its desired location. Put a bead of Mill
Pac inside the outer section of the adapter
and a bead of Mill Pac on the inner collar.
Slip the adapter over the existing inner and
outer flue collar. Fasten to the outer collar
only with the 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot
holes will make this easier).
4)
Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the top and
side nailing strips.
5)
Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance flue outlets
and secure.
Note: For best results and optimum
performance with each approved
flueing system, apply “Mill-Pac”
sealant to every inner pipe
connection. Failure to do so may
result in drafting or performance
issues not covered under warranty.

6)
Mark the wall for a 279mm x 279mm square
hole. The center of the square hole should
line up with the center-line of the horizontal
pipe. Cut and frame the 279mm square hole
in the exterior wall where the flue will be
terminated. See diagram 2 for center line
requirements.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed
of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry
block or concrete, an 203mm diameter hole
is acceptable.
Diagram 2
Note:
a)
The horizontal run of flue must be level, or
have a 6mm rise for every 305mm of run
towards the termination. Never allow the
flue to run downward. This could cause
high temperatures and may present the
possibility of a fire.
b)
The location of the horizontal flue
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. See
"Exterior Flue Termination Locations"
section for more details.
Horizontal runs of flue must be supported
every 0.9 metre. Wall straps are available for
this purpose.
"THIS UNIT MUST ALWAYS
TERMINATE / FLUE
DIRECTLY TO THE
OUTDOORS."
