LDVR Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

10007317

The vent chart should be read in conjunction with the

following vent installation instructions to determine the

relationship of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of

the vent system.
1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal

vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this

dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 13)

locate the point intersecting with slanted graph line.

2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical

line to the bottom of the graph.

3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the

fireplace in accordance with same.

Example A:

If the vertical dimension from the floor of the

fireplace is 11ʼ (3.4m) the horizontal run to the face

of the outer wall must not exceed 14ʼ (4.3m).

Example B:

If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is

7ʼ (2.14m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer

wall must not exceed 8¹⁄₂ʼ (2.6m).

How to Use the Vent Graph

Rear Wall Venting Applications

When installed as a rear vent unit this appliance may

be vented directly to a termination located on the rear

wall behind the appliance.

Only CFM Corporation venting components are

approved to be used in these applications. (Refer to

“Venting Components” listed for different installation

requirements)

The maximum horizontal distance between the rear

of the appliance (or end of the transition elbow in a

corner application) and the outside face of the rear

wall is 20” (508mm). (Fig. 14)

Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.

Minimum clearances between vent pipe and com-

bustible materials are as follows:

Top - 2” (50mm)

Sides - 1” (25mm)

Bottom - 1” (25mm)

Twist Lock Pipes

When using CFM Corporation twist-lock pipe it is not

necessary to use sealant on the joints. The only areas

of the venting system that need to be sealed with high

temperature silicone sealant are the collars on the

fireplace and termination, and the sliding joint of any

telescopic vent section used in the system.
To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the

beads of the male end with the grooves of the female

end, then while bringing the pipe together, twist the pipe

until the flange on the female end contacts the external

flange on the male end. It is recommended that you

secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws,

however this is not mandatory with twist lock pipe.
To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest

putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end

of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.
