PartsVerication
See parts list on page 38 to verify components included in this vent
kit prior to installation.
NOTICE: 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 Instruc-
tions for approved lengths) See Figure 55.
InstallingWallThimble/FirestopAssembly
1. Fix replace to permanent location. If using rigid venting system,
install up to the location where it will exit the building.
2. Cut hole in wall for wall thimble/restop assembly into your com-
bustible wall. See Figure 54. 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. See Figure 54.
3. Install the wall thimble assembly through the framed opening so
the restop plate is on the interior wall. See Figure 54. Telescope
section should extend all the way through the exterior wall. At-
tach with four 10 x 1” screws.
4. When placing the vent cap on an exterior wall covered with
combustibles such as wood, lap, or vinyl siding, install the vinyl
siding kit to the exterior wall sheathing.

CuttingVentTubes
This is the most important part of the installation. With the
replace (and the rigid venting system if used) xed to its perma-
nent location, the 6 5/8” (168mm) diameter air inlet tube and the 4”
(102mm) diameter ue outlet tube are to be marked and cut using
the following procedure.
5. Attach the inlet tube to the outside mounting plate. Align
tinnerman clips on the tabs of the air inlet tube to the holes on
outside mounting plate, and x with two #10 x 1/2” screws.
6. With the vinyl siding kit installed to wall (if necessary), insert
the 6 5/8” (168mm) diameter tube with outside mounting plate
attached through hole in wall. Connect to collar on replace or
rigid vent system. Measure between wall or vent cap extension
and outside mounting plate. See Figures 54 and 55.
