Designer Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
There are two basic types of direct-vent installation:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for
the type of termination you choose. It is also important to
note the wall thickness.
Select the amount of vertical rise desired. All horizontal run
of venting must have 1/4" rise for every 12" of run towards
the termination below 7Z\x' of vertical rise from oor of re-
place. With 7Z\x feet or more of vertical rise from the oor
of the replace, the horizontal run may be level. NEVER
run vent piping down.
You may use up to three 90° elbows in this vent congura-
tion. Refer to Vertical/Horizontal Termination Congurations
on Page 21.
Horizontal venting which incorporates the twist lock pipe
must be installed on a level plane without an inclining or
declining slope.
Measure the distance from the replace oor to the ceil-
ing. Add the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise in an attic
or second story, and allow for sufcient vent height above
the roof line.
NOTE: You may use two 45° elbows in place of a 90°
elbow. You must follow rise to run ratios when using
45° elbows. The appliance is approved for use with
three 90° elbows maximum or a combination of 90°
and 45° elbows up to a maximum of 270°.
Z\x
For two-story applications, restops are required at each
oor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe
and elbows will be required.
You may use a chase with a vent termination with exposed
pipe on the exterior of the house. See Installing Vent
System in a Chase below. If pipe is enclosed in chase, it
is not exposed.
It is very important that the venting system maintain its bal-
ance between the combustion air intake and the ue gas
exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent congurations
and must be strictly followed.
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose
venting that runs along the outside of a building. A chase
is required for such venting.
