360 DVS Series Direct Vent Fireplaces
2” (51 mm). Secure termination to the wall with screws provided, and caulk around the wall plate to weather- proof.
One alternative to screwing the termination directly to the wallis the use of expanding plugs or an approved exterior construction adhesive.
Or, you may attach the termination with screws through the inner body into the 4” (102 mm) vent pipe; however, for this method, you must extend the 4” (102mm) pipe approximately 6” (153 mm) beyond the outer face of the wall.
Support the horizontal pipes with metal pipe straps every 36” (914mm).
Below Grade Installation
When it is not possible to meet required vent terminal clearances of 12” (305 mm) above grade level, we rec- ommend using a starter kit. It allows installation depth down to 7” (178 mm) below grade level. Measure 7” (178 mm) from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
NOTE:Ensure sidewall venting clearances are ob- served. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage.
If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24” (610 mm) vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with 24” (610 mm) vertical pipe is 36” (914mm). The measurement is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition elbow) to the face of exterior wall. See sidewall vent graph, Page 15, for extended

Do not backfill around the snorkel. A clear- ance of at least 4” (102mm) must be main- tained between the snorkel and the soil.
If the foundation is recessed, use recess brackets (not supplied) for securing lower portion of the snorkel. Fas- ten brackets to wall first, then secure to snorkel with self drilling #8 x 1/2 sheetmetal screws. It will be necessary to extend vent pipes out as far as protruding wall face. (Fig. 29)
