RDVN Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Vertical Sidewall Installation STEP 1 Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole location. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or noncombustible, cut opening to size. (Fig. 24) For combustible walls first frame in opening. NOTE: When using flex vent, the opening will have to be measured according to the 1” (25 mm) rise in 24” (610mm) vent run. Combustible Walls: (Fig.
RDVN Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace STEP 5 Use appropriate length of pipe section - telescopic or fixed - and install the horizontal vent sections. The 20” (508 mm) section of pipe which goes through the wall is packaged with the 7TDVSK starter kit, and can be cut to suit if necessary. (Fig. 28) Sealing vent pipe and firestop gaps with high temperature sealant will restrict cold air being drawn in around fireplace.
RDVN Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Step 4 Install the 4” (102 mm) flex vent pipe to the termination cap collar as described on Page 12. Step 5 Slide the 7” (178 mm) flex vent pipe over the 4” flex vent pipe and secure the 7” collar as described on Page 12. Step 6 Be sure to follow the 1” (25 mm) rise in a 24” (610 mm) horizontal run rule. Trim off excess vent material, then install the 4” flex to the flue collar and the 7” flex to the appliance collar. Secure venting with band clamps provided.
