Approved Venting/Chimney Configurations
B. Side Wall Venting (straight back through wall)
In this venting configuration, the pipe runs directly out the back of
the Fireplace, through an outside wall and then up with a snorkel
termination cap. See illustration at left.
Refer to the Simpson Dura-Vent instructions regarding installation
of your Direct-Vent system.
Please note the following considerations for the location of the
vent terminal:
1. The horizontal run must rise a minimum of 1/4" per foot of
run toward the vent termination.
2. Clearances must be maintained around the vent termination .
See illustrations on page 12.
3. The termination must not be recessed into the the exterior
wall or siding.
4. Vinyl Siding requires protection from vented heat above the
termination. Use Simpson Dura-vent Vinyl Siding Heat
Shield Kit, part #950.
The venting should be located so that people cannot be burned by
accidentally touching hot vent surfaces while the Fireplace is in
operation.
The vent termination must be placed so that it cannot be damaged
by automobile doors, lawnmowers or yard equipment, or falling ice
and snow.
ALL VENT CLEARANCES MUST BE MAINTAINED.
CHECK YOUR VENT CLEARANCES AGAINST THE
ILLUSTRATIONS ON PAGE 12.
