Initial Installation
QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY
VENTING:
This replace has been tested and certied for use with SIMPSON DURAVENT DIRECT VENT TYPE “GS” PIPE FOR GAS
STOVES, SECURITY CHIMNEY’S SECURE VENT DIRECT VENT SYSTEM kits, and MDV SELKIRK METALBESTOS.
A 1in (2.5cm) clearance to combustibles must be maintained around any vertical vent pipe. Around a horizontal
vent pipe, the clearance to combustibles should be 2in (5cm) above and 1 1/2in (3.75cm) on the sides and bottom.
When combustible materials are directly above a 90° elbow, 4in (10cm) of clearance are necessary. A 10in (25cm)
x 10in (25cm) frame will assure the proper support and spacing for the vent pipe as it passes through the wall.
Installations in Canada require that a wall thimble be used for passing through walls and ceilings. See Figure 17. All
sealing and vapour barriers must comply with local building codes.
When planning an installation, it is necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe for the particular requirements.
The conguration of the venting pipes depends on the locations of walls, ceilings and studs. However, the pipes
cannot be of arbitrary length and arrangement. Because the length of the vertical and horizontal sections
dramatically affects the burning efciency of the replace, certain guidelines have been set.
Venting terminals can not be recessed into a wall or siding
WARNING: This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney ue serving a separate
solid-burning appliances.
