Installing Horizontal Vent Cap

 

 

For vinyl siding, stucco, or wood exterior use vinyl siding standoffs between vent cap and exterior wall. The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from melting the vinyl siding material. Bolt the vent cap to the standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic around outside edge of the standoff instead of the vent cap assembly. Use wood screws pro- vided to attach the standoff. Figure 18

Since it is very important that the venting system main- tain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent con- figurations 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 various dimensions allowable. Refer to Page 16

Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combus- tible materials is 3" on top and 1" from bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.

When vent termination exits through foundations less than 20" below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with the siding.

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

NOT INCLUDED in the following criteria

 

and calculations, and unless specifically

 

mentioned should be ignored when

 

calculating venting layouts.

 

 

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 outer wall.

The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall installation is three (3). Figure 20

If a 90° elbow is fitted directly on top of the fireplace flange the maximum horizontal vent run before the ter- mination or a vertical rise is 36” (914 mm). Figure 21

If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level height maintained) the horizontal vent length is reduced by 36" (914 mm). This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise. Figure
