See parts list on page 41 to verify components included in this vent
kit prior to installation.
NOTE: If installing onto wood, lap, or vinyl siding, the vinyl siding
kit should be used (sold separately, part number DV-822).
The vinyl siding vent kit, DV-822, is available from Empire Comfort
Systems, Inc. The depth is 3” (76mm), which enables the vent cap to
be extended away from vinyl siding or projections. The wall depth plus
the additional 3” (76mm) depth of the vinyl siding vent cap extension
should not exceed a total depth of 13 3/4” (349mm).
If wall depth exceeds 13 3/4” (349mm), extend system using
6 5/8” (168mm) x 4” (102mm) rigid venting (See Fireplace Instructions
for approved lengths) See Figure 55.

into your combustible wall. Note: On brick or block exterior wall
a 7” (178mm) diameter hole needs to be cut.
Measure the total wall thickness to determine whether or not the
extension thimble is to be used. If the combustible wall depth is
over 5 3/8” (137mm), then the extension thimble should be used
(Figure 54).
3. Install the wall thimble assembly through the framed opening so

with (4) 10 x 1” screws.
4. When placing the vent cap on an exterior wall covered with com-
bustibles such as wood, lap, or vinyl siding, install the vinyl siding
kit to the exterior wall sheathing.
