Installation Instructions
Set the unit in place and survey how best to vent the unit.
A wall square firestop MUST BE installed if the vent passes
through a ceiling or exterior combustible wall. Cut a 9"
wide x 9" high (229 x 229 mm) opening through the wall
or framing. A wall rectangular firestop MUST BE installed
if the vent passes through interior walls. In that case, cut
a 10" wide x 10" high (254 x 254 mm) opening through
the wall or framing. The framing members may need to be
reinforced. Position the firestop on the hole previously cut
and secure with screws or nails (not provided). Run vent
pipe through firestop. The gap between the vent pipe and
the firestop may be sealed.
If the house has vinyl siding, after the termination cap
location has been decided, mark and cut the vinyl siding
around the termination cap so that the cap can be mounted
flush to the wall.
Attach the SLP flex starter onto the starting collar on the
unit. Align seam of the pipe and seam of collar to allow
engagement. Rotate the SLP flex starter to lock onto
appliance. Install three (3) self tapping #10 screws through
the SLP flex starter into the starting collar of the appliance.
Slide one end of the 4" flex pipe over the inner pipe of the
SLP flex starter that is attached to the unit. Secure the
flex pipe to the inner of the SLP flex starter with one (1)
small band clamp and three (3) self tapping #10 screws.
Slide the 6

" flex pipe over the outer pipe of the SLP flex
starter that is attached to the unit. Secure the flex pipe to
the outer of the SLP flex starter with one (1) large band
clamp and three (3) self tapping #10 screws.
Remove the slip section from the termination cap.
Attach the SLP inner flex adapter to the inner pipe of the
slip section for the termination cap using three (3) self
tapping #10 screws.
Attach the SLP outer flex adapter to the outer pipe of the
slip section for the termination cap using three (3) self
tapping #10 screws.
Extend 4" inside flex pipe to reach the inner flex adapter
on the slip section of the termination cap and install spacer
springs. Spacer springs should be equally spaced to
prevent the inside and outside flex pipe from touching
each other and should be placed in locations where the
vent must bend.

Carefully form the flexible duct so the end attached to the
slip section aligns with the 6.8” diameter opening in the
SLP-FS 1” firestop.
CAUTION
DO NOT crush, distort, or otherwise modify the
dimension of the flexible vent. Damage could cause
appliance to overheat or have performance issues.
WARNING
Refer to your fireplace Homeowner’s Manual for the
minimum and maximum venting requirements of your
fireplace and for approved horizontal vent termination
locations prior to installation. Failure to do so may cause
fire hazard.
WARNING
Any horizontal run must have a 1/4” rise for every one
(1) foot of run towards the vent termination. Never
allow the vent pipe to run down. This could cause high
temperatures and may present a fire hazard.
WARNING
Termination cap must be positioned so the embossed
arrow is pointed up.
WARNING
This flexible pipe termination kit is ONLY for horizontal
terminations with one (1) 90° bend.
