8 Installing Vent Pipe

A. Assembly of Vent Sections

WARNING

Do not mix pipe, fittings or joining methods from different manufacturers.

Fire Risk

Impaired Performance of Appliance

•Overlap pipe slip sections at least 1-1/2 inches.

•Use pilot holes for screws.

•Screws must not exceed one inch long.

•Pipe may separate if not properly joined.

Commercial, Multi-family (Multi-level exceeding two stories), & High-Rise Applications

For Installation into Commercial, multi-family (multi-level ex- ceeding two stories) or high-rise applications: All pipe joints must be sealed with high temperature silicone, including the slip section that connects directly to the horizontal termina- tion cap, but not including the CYCLONE-12SLIP.

•Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer pipe joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 8.2

•Only outer pipes are sealed. Do not seal the inner flue. All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer flues shall be sealed in this manner, unless otherwise stated.

Note: The end of the pipe sections with the lances/tabs on it will face toward the appliance.

DVP Series Venting Only

Attach the first vent components to the starting collar. At- tach the slip section (cyclone-12 slip) onto the glass cylin- der (see Figure 8.1).

The next section of pipe slips into the slip section and must have an overlap of 1-1/2 inch but no more than 6 inches, to allow the slip section room to slide up for glass removal.

The first section of pipe must be secured to the framing to make it rigid and allow it to support the remaining pipe sections.

WARNING

Fire Risk Explosion Risk

If slip section seals are broken during the removal of the termination cap, gas will leak and a fire or explosion may occur.

Do not break silicone seals on slip sections.

Assembling Pipe Sections

Insert the inner flue of section A into the flared inner flue of section B.

Start the outer flue of section A over the outer flue of section B (see Figure 8.3). Note: The end of the pipe sections with

the lances/tabs on it will face towards the appliance.

Once both inner and outer flues are started, press section A onto section B firmly until all lances have snapped into place. Check to make sure they have snapped together (see Figure 8.4) and the seams are not aligned (see Fig- ure 8.5). Tug slightly on section A to confirm it has com- pletely locked into place.

For 90º and 45º elbows that are changing the vent direction from horizontal to vertical, one screw minimum should be put in the outer flue at the horizontal elbow joint to prevent the elbow from rotating.

High Temperature Silicone Sealant

stories), or High-rise Applications only

Figure 8.1

Note: It is critical that the relationship of the DVP pipe, Cy- clone-12SLIP and glass asembly is installed per specification shown in Figure 8.1. The Cyclone-12SLIP section MUST be able to be manipulated up and down to ensure routine main- tenance to the fireplace can be performed.
