How to Use the Vent Graph

The vent chart should be read in conjunction with the following vent installation instructions to determine the relationship of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the vent system.

1.Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph, (Fig. 15) locate the point intersecting with slanted graph line.

2.From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.

3.Select the indicated dimension, and position the fireplace in accordance with same.

Example A:

If the vertical dimension from the floor of the fireplace is 11’ (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 14’ (4.3 m).

Example B:

If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 7’ (2.14 m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 8¹⁄’ (2.6 m).

Rear Wall Vent Applications

When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may be vented directly to a termination located on the rear wall behind the appliance.

Specific rear vent starter kits must be used in these applications (see ‘Venting Components’). The appliance has been approved for installation flat against a rear wall. (Fig. 16)

The maximum horizontal distance between the rear of the appliance and the outside face of the rear wall is 20” (508mm). (Fig. 16)

The minimum clearances between any combustible material and the vent pipe sections are:

Top

2” (51 mm)

Sides

1” (25 mm)

Bottom

1” (25 mm)

When the vent termination is installed in an accessible location, a Screen Guard Kit, item #7V1B60, should be installed. (Accessible means the termination is likely to be touched)

Rear Wall Vent Installation

STEP 1

Locate and cut the vent opening in the wall. (Fig. 17) For combustible walls first frame in opening. ( Fig. 17)

Combustible Walls: Cut a 10³⁄”H x 9³⁄” W (265 x 240mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame. (Fig.21)

Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening must be 7¹⁄” (190 mm) in diameter.

STEP 2

Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve parts to proper length (MAXIMUM 12”/305 mm). As- semble sleeve to its maximum opening (10³⁄” x 9³⁄”) and attach to firestop with #8 sheet metal screws (sup- plied). Install firestop assembly. (Fig. 18)
