VENT INSTALLATION

VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL TERMINATION

CONFIGURATIONS

Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.

The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the vari- ous dimensions allowable. See Figure 10.

NOTE: Horizontal sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" clearances to combustibles at the top of the flue and 1" clearance at the sides and bottom until the flue penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1" clearance all around the flue is acceptable at this point of penetration.

Vertical sections of this vent system require a minimum of 1" clearance to combustibles on all sides of the pipe.

When vent exits through foundations less than 20" below outcrop, the termination must be flush up with outcropped wall above.

It is best to locate the fireplace in such a way that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.

The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace (or the top of the Transition Elbow) to the face of the finished outside wall.

The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall installation is three (3). See Figure 11.

A minimum of 24" is required before a 90° elbow. If a 90° elbow is fitted directly after 24" vertical section mounted to the top of the fireplace, the maximum horizontal vent run before the termination or a vertical rise is 36” (914 mm). See Figure 12.
