PRODUCT FEATURES PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION Location and Space Requirements PRODUCT FEATURES These are a few facts that can help you understand and enjoy your direct-vent fireplace: • The venting system may be routed to the outside of your home in several ways. It may vent through the roof (vertical) or it may vent to an outside/exterior wall (horizontal). The vent pipe installation is very important to allow for proper operation.

VENTING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Planning (Cont.) 9 9 VENTING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Continued Combustible Exterior Wall: For vinyl siding, stucco, or wood exteriors, a siding standoff must be installed between the vent cap and exterior wall. The siding standoff prevents excessive heat from damaging the siding materials. Siding material must be cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt the vent cap to the standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic around outside edge of standoff.
