Do not backfill around snorkel.

Vermont Castings, Majestic Products DVRT36/39/43

If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24” (610mm) vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 24” (610mm) vertical pipe is 36” (915mm). This mea- surement is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. Refer to the Sidewall Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 24” (610mm).

1.

Establish vent hole through the wall. (Page 17, Fig.

2.

Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16”

 

(406mm) below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe.

 

Install window well (not supplied). Refill hole with

 

12” (305mm) of coarse gravel, leaving a clearance

Do not backfill around snorkel.

A clearance of at least 4” (102mm) must be maintained between the snorkel and the soil.

If the foundation is recessed, use recess brackets (not supplied) for securing lower portion of the snorkel.

Fasten brackets to wall first, then secure to snorkel with self-drilling #8 x 1/2 sheet metal screws. For a recessed foundation wall, it is necessary to extend vent pipes out as far as the protruding wall face. (Fig. 32)
