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)DirectVentpipeandfittingsaredesignedwith specialtwist-lockconnectionstoconnectthe venting system to the appliance flue 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. Install the adaptor after the unit is set in its desired location otherwise the unit will not fi t through the

36-5/8" (930mm) high frame opening.

3)Put a bead of silicone inside the outer section of the adapter and a bead of Stove Mate 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-lockprocedure:Fourindentations, 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.

Note: For best results and optimum performance with each approved venting system, it is highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac” sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in drafting or performance issues not covered under warranty. Silicone (red RTV) is optional.

b)Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are available for this purpose.

5)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.

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

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 terminationonanexteriorwallmustmeet all local and national building codes, and must not be blocked or obstructed. For External Vent Terminal Locations, see diagram in "Exterior Vent Termination Locations" section.

6)The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/4"(32mm) clearances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 5). Install the termination cap.

Note: If installing termination on a 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.

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

8)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).Securetheconnectionbetweenthe 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.
