Designer Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
1. Flexible UL1777 listed venting may be used in any
venting application where rigid direct vent components
can be used.
Flex kits may not be modied. Flex
kits may be added to the end of a vent run made of rigid
vent sections using pipe manufacturer's approved ex
to pipe adapters. This may occur only if doing so does
not violate any of the venting length, height, routing,
horizontal to vertical ratio requirements or clearance
considerations detailed in this manual.
2. The ex adapter starter kit (DVFF8A/8) is used to attach
ex venting to the appliance starting collar. It includes
5" inner and 8" outer adapter rings. Figure 41
• The inner and outer adapter rings are required to
start all ex runs.
• Never install damaged or torn exible venting.
• Over tightening clamps may rip, tear, or otherwise
damage exible venting.
• The adapter kit does not include individual pipe sec-
tions which may be purchased separately. (UL1777
listed type venting only.)
3. Start the exible vent as follows:

1. Insert the long side of the 5" inner ring into exhaust
pipe, gently tap to seat into place, and secure with
screws.
2. Slide the small gear clamp over the inner exible
vent pipe, and push out of the way.
3. Pull and extend the inner exible vent.
4. Slide the inner vent onto the adapter collar, for a
minimum 1C\v" overlap.
5. Locate the clamp at approximately 3/4" from the ex
end and tighten.
6. Secure the clamped inner section with three self-
tapping screws, drilled equidistant, just above the
clamp perimeter.
B. Installing the outer ex pipe. Figure 41
1. Firmly insert the 8" outer adapter ring into the
outer appliance starting collar and secure with
screws.
2. Slide the large gear clamp over the outer exible
vent pipe, and push out of the way.
3. Pull and extend the outer exible vent.
4. Slide the outer vent onto the appliance collar outer
adapter for a minimum 1C\v" overlap.
5. Locate the clamp at approximately 3/4" from the
ex end and tighten.
6. Secure the clamped outer section with three self-
tapping screws, drilled equidistant, just above the
clamp perimeter.
C. Routing UL1777 ex pipe.
1. Always maintain the required clearance when
routing the ex vent assembly.
2. Install restop spacers, Figure 43, when penetrat-
ing ceiling, attic spaces, or walls.
3. Do not allow the exible vent to bend in radius
tighter than 5" (127 mm). Figure 42
4. Horizontal runs of exible vent shall be supported
at maximum 2
foot intervals;
vertical runs,
five feet inter-
v a l s . M e t a l
strapping, prop-
erly secured, is
an acceptable
means to sup-
port the exible
vent.
5. Flexible vent
spacers are to
be installed at intervals prescribed by the exible
vent manufacturer; and in such a way as to main-
tain concentric inner and outer vent spacing.
