and bottom of the vent system. Do not pack the open air spaces
around the replace or ue with insulation or other materials.
Any horizontal run must have a 1/4” rise for every one foot of
run towards the vent termination. The vent above the roof must
terminate vertically.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• The vertical termination cap MUST be vented directly to the
outside. The termination kit MUST NEVER be connected to a
chimney ue(s) servicing a separate solid-fuel burning appli-
ance or any other appliances.
• Termination cap MUST NOT be mounted horizontally.
• The exible vent pipe cannot be intermingled with any of the
rigid vent pipe section(s). DO NOT connect two sections of
exible vent pipe together to achieve a longer length without
the use of approved connectors.
• The installation must conform with local codes or in the ab-
sence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 (in the United States) or with the current installation
code CAN/CGA B149 (in Canada).
• Only Direct Vent replaces approved for use with Empire
Comfort Systems, Inc. DVVK-4FV termination kit shall be
used. See PARTS LIST/ILLUSTRATIONS section for vent
component identication.
• Horizontal vent runs must be supported every 2 feet using
wall straps. Vertical runs must be supported every 3 feet using
wall straps. Slip wall straps loosely on to pipe. Attach installer
provided straps to framing members using nails or screws.
• The replace and venting system should be inspected before
initial use and at least annually by a qualied eld service per-
son. Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make
sure that no debris is interfering with the airow. Inspect entire
venting system to ensure proper function.
• Please refer to the replace instructions for information on
Termination Cap clearances.
