Step 4. Installing the Vent System A. Vent System Approvals

Model ST-38GTV is approved to use 5-inch (127mm) diameter B-type vent. B-type vent must be used when the vent system is within combustible construction.

This model may also use single wall rigid or flexible gas vent IF and ONLY IF the vent system is installed within non-combustible construction such as a masonry chimney. The same diameter noted above for B-type vent must be used for single-wall vent. See Figure 5.

Vent System Configuration

MAXIMUM TOTAL HORIZONTAL RUN = 13 FT.

MAXIMUM TOTAL VERTICAL RISE = 10 FT.

MAXIMUM NO. of ELBOWS: 2 -90oplus 4 - 45o, or 8 - 45o.

Plan and install the vent system using the parameters shown above.

!WARNING: YOU MUST NOT EXCEED THESE PARAMETERS.

Connect a B-Type vent component to the flue outlet collar. Look at top inside of the firebox to check that the vent pipe is attached to the unit. NOTE: It is always better to first attach a straight section of vent to the unit before attaching an elbow. Avoid using elbows in the vent system if possible.

A 90-degree elbow can be attached directly to the unit. If it is, it can be followed by a MAXIMUM 13-feet horizontal run, a second 90-degree elbow ending in a vertical position, and a MINIMUM 10-feet vertical rise ending in a listed termination cap for the vent pipe.

Continue to add vent components, until the vent run is completed.

!WARNING: YOU MUST NOT EXCEED A TOTAL MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN OF 13 FEET FOR THE ENTIRE VENT SYSTEM AND THERE MUST BE A TOTAL VERTICAL MINIMUM RISE OF 10- FEET IN ALL VENT SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS USED ON THESE FIREPLACES.

NOTE: The vent termination must be in a vertical position and the termination cap must be listed for the vent pipe used.

Consult Local Building Code Officials and Codes for proper vent system installations.
