Vertical Venting and Termination

The GF 600 DV Firelight can be vertically vented through a roof or ceiling. Follow these guidelines

„Steep roofs, nearby trees, or predominantly windy conditions, can promote poor draft or down draft conditions. In such cases, an increase to the height of the vent may improve performance.

„If an offset or elbow is necessary in the vertical rise, the vent pipe must be supported every three feet to avoid excessive stress on the offsets. Use listed Wall Straps from any of the approved vent suppliers.

„Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows as they offer less restriction to the flow of flue gases and intake air.

„A firestop is required at every floor penetration. The opening should be framed to 10" X 10" inside dimension. A listed wall thimble is required as a firestop.

„Any venting that is exposed above the first floor must be enclosed regardless of attic space or living space. Always maintain the required 1" clearance from all sides of the vertical vent system.

„IT IS NECESSARY to add restriction to a vertical vent installation to compensate for excessive draft. See the Adding Draft Restriction section on page 8.

„GAS VENT HEIGHT: In no case shall any discharge opening on the cap be less than 18” (457mm) horizontally from the roof surface.
