VENTING FIREPLACE - TOP (continued)
Below Grade Installation
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" (305mm) above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7" (178mm) below grade level. The 7" (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.
Ensure the sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area.
TYPICAL BASEMENT INSTALLATION
Figure 20
Examples of possible venting systems using one (1) 90° elbow. Eight (8) feet is listed as minimum vertical vent run with 20 feet of maximum horizontal vent run. Vertical dimensions are based on centerline to centerline of pipe. Horizontal dimensions are based on centerline of pipe to end of termination.

Examples of possible venting systems using two (2) 90° elbows. V is listed as minimum vertical dimensions and H1 + H2 is listed as total of maximum horizontal dimensions. The maximum vertical and horizontal distances for two (2) 90° elbows as shown in Figure 22 is 20 feet.
Attention: Refer to Figure 19 for additional venting requirements.
