Installing Transition Pipe and Starter Collar
The transition pipe and starter collar shown in Figure 9 are supplied with the fireplace, unattached and ready for installation. Remove the starter collar and set aside. Slide the transition pipe over the vent collar and attach with a minimum of three screws. Replace the starter collar over the transition pipe and attach using four screws located on the leg stands (five used on the model M42E). To install

This appliance may be vented through a manufac- tured chimney system or a masonry chimney using a
The examples shown in Figure 10, page 10 are typical of most
Example 1: Shows the minimum allowable sys- tem height and lateral offset for a 60° degree or greater inclination. Code specifies that offsets at 60° degrees or greater are considered horizontal and must follow the 75% percent rule for lateral to total vertical system height. Codes also allows only one offset in the total system when at 60° degrees or greater. The total vertical height in this example represents the minimum height of 8 feet and therefore the allowable lateral is 6 feet when the 75% percent rule applies. If the lateral length must exceed 75% then the system must be sized in accordance with the Category I venting tables.
Example 2: Shows a multiple offset each at 45° degrees of inclination. Multiple offsets are permit- ted if they do not exceed 45° degrees of inclination. The total lengths of the two offsets are not required to meet the 75% percent allowable rule.
Example 3: Shows a single offset at 45° degrees of inclination and therefore the lateral length at 10 feet of offset does not have to meet the 75% percent rule.
In each case the offsets must be supported and firestops must be positioned wherever the vent must pass through a
Vent terminations must be located in accordance with height and proximity rules of NFPA No. 54 or CAN/CGA B149. These rules apply to vents at 12 in. diameter or less and require a minimum height in accordance with the roof pitch and a minimum of 8 ft. distance from a vertical wall or obstruction (see Figure 11, page 10).
If venting horizontally through a side wall be- comes necessary, a listed thimble approved for use with
