UNIT INSTALLATION WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION

(Rigid Vent Systems)

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)DirectVentpipeandfittingsaredesignedwith special twist-lock connections to connect the venting system to the appliance fl ue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is required.

3)In conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent GS system. Install the adaptor after the unit is set in its desired location. Put a bead of high temperature silicone inside the outer section of the adapter and a bead of Mill Pack on the inner collar. Slip the adapter over the existing inner and outer flue collar. Fasten to the outer collar only with the 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will make this easier).

4)Levelthefireplaceandfastenittotheframing using nails or screws through the top and side nailing strips.

5)Assemble the desired combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor and twist-lock for a solid connection.

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

Horizontalrunsofventmustbesupported every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are available for this purpose.

6)Mark the wall for a 11" x 11" (279mm x 279mm) square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the center- line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 11 inch (279mm) square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. See diagram 2 for center line requirements.

If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter hole is acceptable.

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.

The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up.

b)The location of the horizontal vent terminationonanexteriorwallmustmeet all local and national building codes, and must not be blocked or obstructed. See "Exterior Vent Termination Locations"

7)Insurethatthe1-1/4"(32mm)pipeclearances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 5). Install the termination cap.

Note: If installing termination on a vinyl siding covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.

Diagram 5

The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.

8)Before connecting the horizontal run of vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall Thimble (Part # 1247) over the vent pipe, required in Canada.

9)Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches (32mm).Secure theconnectionbetweenthe vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section. See Diagram 6.

10)Install wall thimble in the center of the 11" (279mm) square and attach with wood screws (Diagram 7).
