INSTALLATION

UNIT INSTALLATION WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION

Install the vent system according to the manufacturer's instructions included with the components.

1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check

to determine if wall studs or roof rafters

are in the way when the venting system is

attached. If this is the case, you may want

to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in

the gas preferably on the right side of the

unit and the electrical (junction block is on

the left side) on the left.

2) Direct Vent pipe and fi ttings are designed with

special twist-lock connections to connect the

venting system to the appliance fl ue outlet.A

twist-lock appliance adaptor is an available

option that must be used in conjunction

with the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent GS

system.

b)Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every three feet. Wall straps are available for this purpose.

5)Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7"(178mm) dia. (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for fl ex) hole is

acceptable.

Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum

h e i g h t

i s

achieved

by

i n s t a l l i n g a 90 o elbow directly to the rigid pipe adaptor.

Note: Riser Vent is only for use in above grade terminations.

Diagram 3a

*Diagrams 3 & 4: As specified in CGA B149 Installation Code. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer section

of the adapter and a bead of Mill Pac on the

inner collar. Slip the adapter over the existing

inner and outer fl ue collar and fasten to the

outer collar only with the 3 supplied screws

(drilling pilot holes will make this easier).

Level the fi replace and fasten it to the framing

using nails or screws through the nailing

strips.

4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe

and elbows to the appliance adaptor and

twist-lock for a solid connection.

Note:

a)Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations, located on the female ends of pipes and fi ttings, are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and fi ttings, by orienting the four pipe indentations so they match and slide in to the four entry slots on the male ends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible from the outside, on the Black Pipe or fi ttings. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends.

Diagram 1

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe and high temperature silicone sealant to outer pipe on every twist- lock joint.

Diagram 2

Note:

a)The horizontal run of vent must be level, or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run towards the termination. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a fi re.

b)The location of the horizontal vent termination on an exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must not be blocked or obstructed. For External Vent Terminal Locations, see diagram in the "Exterior Vent Termination Locations" section.

c)Snorkel Terminations:

For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior

of the building, 14-

inch and 36-inch tall

Snorkel Terminations

are available, as well as the standard Riser Vent. Follow

t h e s a m e installation procedures as used for

s t a n d a r d Horizontal Termination. NEVER install the snorkel

upsidedown. Diagram 3

Below Grade Installation

If the Snorkel Termination must be installed below grade, i.e. basement application, proper drainage must be provided to prevent water from entering the Snorkel Termination. Refer to Diagram 4. Do not attempt to enclose the Snorkel within the wall, or any other type of enclosure.

NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE grade installations, follow national or local code requirements.

6)The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2" clearances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 4). Install the termination cap.
