Monessen Hearth HDV500NV/PV manual Flex Venting Installation, Outside pipe

FLEX VENTING INSTALLATION HDV Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

	When using a 1222DA reducer, 5" x 8" to 4"
NOTE	x 6B\,", the flex adapter starter kit DVFA/8 is
	used to start the 4" x 6B\," flex venting at the
	adapter. All restrictions and allowances that
	pertain to 5" x 8" flex venting apply to 4" x 6B\,"
	flex venting.
	Flex vent pipe spacers: Refer to
NOTE	manufacturer’s specifications for correct
	positioning of the spacer springs to
	maintain proper distance between inside
	and outside pipe.

1.Flexible UL1777 listed venting may be used in any venting application where rigid direct vent components can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allow- ances 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 (DVFF8A/8) is used to attach flex venting to the appliance starting collar. It includes 5" inner and 8" outer adapter rings. Figure 36

2.Slide the small gear clamp over the inner flexible vent pipe, and push out of the way.

3.Pull and extend the inner flexible vent.

4.Slide the inner vent onto the adapter collar, for a minimum 1C\v" overlap.

5.Locate the clamp at approximately 3/4" from the flex end and tighten.

6.Secure the clamped inner section with three self- tapping screws, drilled equidistant, just above the clamp perimeter.

B.Installing the outer flex pipe. Figure 36

1.Firmly insert the 8" outer adapter ring into the outer appliance starting collar and secure with screws.

2.Slide the large gear clamp over the outer flexible vent pipe, and push out of the way.

3.Pull and extend the outer flexible vent.

4.Slide the outer vent onto the appliance collar outer adapter for a minimum 1C\v" overlap.

5.Locate the clamp at approximately 3/4" from the flex end and tighten.

6.Secure the clamped outer section with three self- tapping screws, drilled equidistant, just above the clamp perimeter.

C.Routing UL1777 flex pipe.
