nents or kits specifically approved for this fireplace.

• Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible mate-

rials is 1" (2.5cm), 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.

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.
