2. Continue Adding Vent Components

Refer to Cinch Pipe and Termination Cap installation in- structions.

Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed- ing component into place.

Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure- ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the vent system. Securing pipe sections with a maximum of two screws is recommended.

90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el- bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre- ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2) sheet metal screws.

3.Install Support Brackets

Refer to Cinch Pipe and Termination Cap installation in- structions.

4. Install Firestops

For Horizontal Runs - Firestops are REQUIRED on both sides of a combustible wall through which the vent passes.

NOTE: Model DVP-TRAP does not need an exterior fir- estop on an exterior combustible wall. The firestop is built into the cap.

To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass through either interior or exterior walls:

• Cut a 10” x 12” (254mm X 305mm) hole through the wall.

NOTE: The center of the hole is one (1) inch (25.4mm) above the center of the horizontal vent pipe.

Position the firestops on both sides of the hole previ- ously cut and secure the firestops with nails or screws.

The heat shields of the firestops MUST BE placed to- wards the top of the hole.

Continue the vent run through the firestops.

NOTE: There must be NO INSULATION or other combustibles inside the framed firestop opening.

For Vertical Runs - One ceiling firestop is REQUIRED at the hole in each ceiling through which the vent passes.

To install firestops for vertical runs that pass through ceilings:

Position a plumb bob directly over the center of the verti- cal vent component.

Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of the vent.

Drill a hole or drive a nail through this centerpoint.

Check the floor above for any obstructions, such as wir- ing or plumbing runs.

Reposition the fireplace and vent system, if necessary, to accommodate the ceiling joists and/or obstructions.

Cut an 10-inch X 10-inch (254mm x 254mm) hole through the ceiling, using the centerpoint previously marked.

Frame the hole with framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joists.
