Vertical firestop/spacer must be used anywhere vent pipe passes through a combustible floor or ceiling. Horizontal
firestop/spacer must be used anywhere vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
Install the provided vent restrictor, if required.
A 90° elbow may NOT be attached directly to the appliance collar. A minimum 12” pipe section must be used
between the fireplace collar and a 90° elbow.
Vertical Vent Figures/Tables
NOTE:
If the parameters of your vent run fall outside the parameters described herein, consider installing the Power Vent Kit.
NOTE: Rise per foot run ratios are acceptable all the way to level.
For best results, maintain the horizontal/inclined
run in a straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane of approximately 1/4” per 1 ft (20 mm per 1 m).
NOTE:
SV4.5VF (Secure Vent
®
), SF4.5VF (Secure Flex
®
) firestop/spacer must be used anytime vent pipe passes
through a combustible floor or ceiling. SV4.5HF (Secure Vent), SF4.5HF (Secure Flex)firestop/spacer must be used
anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible wall.
NOTE:
Two (2) 45° elbows may be used in place of one (1) 90° elbow. The same rise to run ratios, as shown in the
venting figures for 90° elbows, must be followed if 45° elbows are used.
NOTE:
An elbow is acceptable as 1 ft of vertical rise, except where an elbow is the only vertical component in the
system.
WARNING
Do NOT join separate sections of concentric flexible vent pipe.
