The Horizontal Termination Kit and the Simpson
These units use the "balanced flue" technology
Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent sys- tems are prohibited.
IMPORTANT
Read all instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow these instruc- tions may create a fire or other safety hazard, and will void the warranty. Be sure to check the venting and clearance to combustible require- ments. Consult your local building codes before beginning installation.
The location of the termination cap must con- form to the requirements in the Exterior Vent Terminal Locations on page 10.
These venting systems are engineered prod- ucts that have been designed and tested for use with the
1)Installation of any damaged Direct Vent component
2)UnauthorizedmodificationoftheDirectVent System
3)Installation of any component part not man- ufactured or approved by Simpson Dura- Vent or Fireplace Products International Ltd.
4)Installation other than as instructed by Simp- son
Warning: Always maintain required clearances (air spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent a fire haz- ard. Do not fill air spaces with insu- lation.
Be sure to check the vent termination clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways as specified in the Exterior Vent Terminal Locations on page 10 and in your local building codes.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chim- ney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-
burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
Vent restrictors are required for certain venting installations, see the diagrams on pages 12 and 13 to determine if they are required for your installation. The two vent restrictors are sup- plied with your unit. If a vent restrictor is required it must be installed prior to con- necting the pipe to the
ance adapter.
Slide the restrictor into the adapter collar and push the tabs down between the inner flue collar and the inside pipe of the
The same procedure is used for vent restrictor #2.
