LDVR Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this portion of the vent assembly.
•The maximum horizontal vent run is 20 ft. (6.1 m) when the vertical vent rise is 7¹⁄₂ ft. (2.3 m). (Fig. 21)
•The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall installation is three (3).

Fig. 21 Maximum number of 90° elbows is three (3).
•If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level height maintained) the maximum horizontal vent length is reduced by 36” (914 mm). (Fig. 22) This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise. (Fig. 23)

Example: According to the chart the maximum hori- zontal vent length in a system with a 7.5’ (2.3 m) ver- tical rise is 20’ (6 m) and if a 90° elbow is required in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17’ (5.2 m). In Figure 23 Dimension A plus B must not be greater than 17’ (5.2 m).
•The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
•For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run, the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by
