GENERAL VENTING

These models are approved for use with Simpson Dura-Vent 6 5/8" direct-vent pipe components and terminations as well as both flex and rigid Vanguard vent components.

Your fireplace is approved to be vented either through the side wall, or vertically using the following guidelines:

•Only use Vanguard or Simpson Dura-Vent GS venting compo- nents or kits specifically approved for this fireplace.

•Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible mate- rials is 1" (25 mm), except where stated otherwise.

•Combustible material may be flush with the top front of fire- place with a maximum thickness of 3/4".

•Do not recess venting terminals into a wall or siding.

•Install horizontal venting with a 1/4" rise for every 12" of run toward the termination.

•You may paint the vent terminal with 450°F (232°C) heat-resis- tant paint to coordinate with the exterior finish.

•There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks, or utility buildings within 24" from the front of the termination cap.

•Do not locate termination cap where excessive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to clear vent termination area after snow falls to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, do not direct snow towards vent termina- tion area.

LOCATION OF VENT TERMINATION

When locating vent termination, it is important to observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 13, page 8. You will avoid extra framing by positioning your fireplace against an already existing framing member. The sides of the fireplace may be posi- tioned directly against combustible walls.

*Check with local codes or with the current CAN/CGA B149[.1 or

.2] Installation Codes for Canada or the USA installations follow the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
