FLEX VENT INSTALLATION

WDV Series Gas Fireplace

 

 

1.Flexible UL1777 listed venting may be used in any venting application where rigid direct vent components can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances that pertain to the rigid piping apply to

the flexible venting. Flex kits may not be modified. Flex kits may be added to the end of a vent run made of rigid vent sections using pipe manufacturer's approved flex to pipe adapters. This may occur only if doing so does not violate any of the venting length, height, routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements or clearance considerations detailed in this manual.

2. The flex adapter starter kit (DVF8A/8) is used to attach flex venting to the appliance starting collar. It includes 5" inner and 8" outer adapter rings. Figure 24
