Horizontal Venting (Horizontal Termination)
•The maximum horizontal run made directly off the rear of the stove into a standard horizontal cap (#984 or #985) must be no more than a 9” section of Simpson
•The maximum horizontal run made directly off the rear of the stove into a 14” snorkel cap (#982) must be no more than a 24” section of Simpson
•The horizontal termination cap must maintain a 3" clearance (80 mm) to any overhead combus- tible projections 2 1/2" (60 mm) or less. Maintain 12" (300 mm) clearance from projections exceed- ing 2 1/2". See Figure 13.
•Any horizontal run of vent must be level or have a 1/4" (5 mm) rise for every foot (300 mm) of run toward the termination cap. DO NOT ALLOW THE VENT TO RUN DOWNWARD, AS THIS CAN CAUSE HIGH TEMPERATURES AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE.
•A 1” (26 mm) clearance must be maintained around all
•For buildings with vinyl siding, a Vinyl Siding Standoff should be installed between the vent cap and the exterior wall (Simpson
•A 10" X 10" (250 mm x 250 mm) square hole is required to maintain proper vent clearances through a combustible wall. Simpson

•Do not recess the termination cap into the exterior wall or siding.
