INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL

TERMINATION

NOTICE: Use rigid pipe only. Flex venting is not to be used with a vertical termination.

1.Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset (see Figure 29) to avoid cutting loadbearing members. Note: Pay special attention to these in- stallation instructions for required clearances (air space) to com- bustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclo- sures, attic rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also note maximum vertical rise of the venting system and any maximum horizontal offset limitations. Offsets must fall within the parameters shown in Figure 17 on page 10.

2.Set the stove in desired location. Drop a plumb line down from the ceiling to the position of the burner system exit flue. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

Drop a plumb line from the inside of the roof to the locating hole in the ceiling. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

1.Cut a 10" square hole in the ceiling using the locating hole as a center point. The opening should be framed to 10"x10" (25.4cm x 25.4cm) inside dimensions, as shown in Figure 21 on page 13 using framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists. If the area above the ceiling is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail firestop from the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into the required clearance space. Otherwise, install firestop below the framed hole. The firestop should be installed with no less than three nails per side (see Figure 30).

2.Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the burner system flue up through the firestop. All connections must be sealed with high temperature silicone seal- ant as specified in the second warning statement on page 11. Be sure all pipe and elbow connections are fully twist-locked (see Figure 20, page 13).

3.Cut a hole in the roof using the locating hole as a center point. (Cover any exposed open vent pipes before cutting hole in roof.) The 10"x10" hole must be measured on the horizontal; actual length may be larger depending on the pitch of the roof. There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible mate- rials. Frame the opening as shown in Figure 21 on page 13.

4.Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole.

Note: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every 3 feet. Use wall straps for this purpose (see Figure 29). Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of the flue gases and intake air.

5.Place the flashing over the pipe section(s) extending through the roof. Secure the base of the flashing to the roof and fram- ing with roofing nails. Be sure roofing material overlaps the top edge of the flashing as shown in Figure 29. There must be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe to combustible materials.

6.Continue to add pipe sections until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum building code requirements described in Figure 17 on page 10. Note: You must increase vent height for steep roof pitches. Nearby trees, adjoining rooflines, steep pitched roofs, and other similar factors may cause poor draft or down-drafting in high winds. Increasing the vent height may solve this problem.

7.Twist-lock the vent cap onto the last section of vent pipe and seal outer pipe connection with high temperature silicone seal- ant as specified in the second warning statement on page 11.

Note: If the vent pipe passes through any occupied areas above the first floor, including storage spaces and closets, you must enclose pipe. You may frame and sheetrock the enclosure with standard construction material. Make sure and meet the minimum allowable clearances to combustibles. Do not fill any of the required air spaces with insulation.
