A-2 ELEVATED RISE THROUGH-THE-WALL VENTING FOR NG AND LPG

The minimum vertical rise from top of fireplace, is 48 in. when used with the maximum horizontal run of 16 ft.

For other venting configurations within these maximum limits see pg. 10.

NOTE: All horizontal runs of vent pipes must have a ¼" rise for every 1' of run toward the termination. Never

allow the vent to run downward. This will cause high temperatures and the possibility of a fire.

USING OFFSETS AND RETURNS: A single 90

º vertical-to-horizontal elbow is already calculated into the

allowable maximum 16' horizontal run. Each additional 90

º elbow reduces the maximum horizontal distance

by 3'. A maximum of two 90° or four 45° elbows, in addition to the first 90

elbow, can be used (total equiva-

lent of three (3) 90

elbows in entire vent system. 45º elbows reduce the maximum horizontal distance by 1½ '.

SUPPORT: Horizontal runs of pipe will require one vent support for every 3 ft. of pipe.

CAUTION: Be sure to maintain 1" air space clearances to any combustibles around all pipe sections that are

vertical. Be sure to maintain 1” air space clearances to any combustibles on the sides and below all horizontal

pipe sections and elbows and 2" from the top of all horizontal pipes and fittings.

1. Position fireplace in desired location. See pg. 8 for guidelines on proper vent cap placement on exterior of

home. Check to determine if wall studs are in the way when vent system is attached. If this is the case you

may need to adjust the fireplace location.

2. Locate position where vent pipe will pass through any ceilings and will penetrate the outside wall. Since

vent pipe sections "overlap" we suggest pre-assembling and measuring the total vent pipe run so you can

more accurately locate the point where the vent pipe will penetrate the outside wall. (See FIGURE 3: Exte-

rior Vent Locations, pg.8). Be sure all vent components are properly twist locked and leak-proof. Be sure

1000

º silicate sealant (Millpak #65-06-00909) is used in the inner joints of all pipe sections (Dura Vent

only).

IMPORTANT: REFER TO DRAWINGS ON PAGE 10 & 11 WHILE FOLLOWING THESE

INSTRUCTIONS.

*NOTE: DO NOT SEPARATE TELESCOPING SECTIONS USE AS COMPLETE ASSEMBLIES.

3. Cut and frame a 10-3/4" x 10-3/4" opening in the outside wall and in any ceiling openings. The outside wall

hole must be positioned so the vent system will have a ¼ " rise per foot of run AND be perpendicular to the

wall. The height of the opening must be located to meet all local and national building codes and not allow

the termination to be easily blocked or obstructed. A ceiling fire stop spacer is required at any floor (ceil-

ing) opening.

4. Connect a 90° elbow to the fireplace adapter on top of fireplace vent outlet.

5. Always use a Wall Thimble (#45-01-00229) when penetrating a combustible wall.

6. The horizontal pipe must end flush with the exterior wall of the home. Horizontal pipe will require a proper

support (part #45-01-00234) every 3 ft. of vent pipe. THERE MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 1"

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES FROM ALL VENT PIECES (2" above horizontal runs). From the

exterior of the home, slide the horizontal vent cap over the end of the horizontal pipe and tightly secure the

vent cap to the wall with screws. Seal with high quality caulking.

NOTE: Venting terminal should not be recessed into the wall or siding.
