Venting Installation

INSTALLATION PLANNING

There are two basic types of direct-vent in- stallation:

•Horizontal Termination

•Vertical Termination

Horizontal Termination Installation IMPORTANT: Horizontal square terminations require only inner portion of wall firestop. Hori- zontal installations using round termination require exterior portion of wall firestop (see Figure 20, page 14).

1. Set the fireplace in its desired location and deter-

mine the route your horizontal venting will take.

Do not secure the fireplace until all venting has

been installed. Some installations require sliding

the fireplace in and out of position to make final

venting connections. Figures 18 through 25 on

pages 13 through 16 show different configura-

tions for venting with horizontal termination that

will help you decide which application best suits

your installation. Check to see if wall studs or

roof rafters are in the path of your desired vent-

ing route. If they are, you may want to adjust the

location of the fireplace.

2. Direct vent pipe sections and components are

designed with special twist-lock connections.

5.Carefully determine the location where the vent pipe assembly will penetrate the outside wall. The center of the hole should line up with the center-line of the horizontal vent pipe. Mark the wall for a 10 3/4" x 10 3/4" square hole. Cut and frame the square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, such as masonry block or concrete, a 8 1/2" hole with zero clearance is acceptable (see Figure 12).

pipes have locking lugs (indentations). These

lugs will slide straight into matching slots on

the male ends of adjacent pipes. Push pipe sec-

tions together and twist one section clockwise

approximately one-quarter turn until the sections

are fully locked (see Figure 11). Note: Horizon-

tal runs of vent must be supported every three

feet. Use wall straps for this purpose.

3. Any straight pipe section, a 45° or 90° elbow

can be used when first connecting the venting

system to the fireplace. Elbows are designed

to twist-lock into any of four 90° positions to

direct the venting system to the desired loca-

tion. IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to alter

the configuration of the elbow by cutting,

twisting, bending, etc.

4. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and

elbows to the fireplace flue collar. If there are

long portions of venting run, pre-assembled

pipe sections may be installed as subassem-

blies for convenience.
