Figure 5. Vent System Components and Termination Kits
Identifying Vent Components
The vent systems installed on this gas fi replace may include
one, two, or three 90°
elbow assemblies. The relationships
of vertical rise to horizontal run in vent confi gurations using
90° elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The rise to run
relationships are shown in the venting drawings and tables.
Refer to the diagrams on the next several pages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90°
elbow. Rise to run ratios in the vent system must be fol-
lowed if 45° elbows are used.
This model has vent starting collars on both the top and the
back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide
which ONE set of starting collars will be used to attach the
vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain
on the starting collar NOT used.

Step 3. Installing the Vent System
A. Vent System Approvals
This model is approved to use DVP-series direct vent
pipe components and terminations (see Figures 4 and 5).
Approved vent system components are labeled for identifi -
cation. This pipe is tested and listed as an approved com-
ponent of the fi replace. The pipe is tested to be run inside
an enclosed wall. There is no requirement for inspection
openings at each joint within the wall. There is no required
pitch for horizontal vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYS-
TEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each
vent termination kit and should be used in conjunction with
this Owner’s Manual. The fl ame and ember appearance
may vary based on the type of fuel burned and the venting
confi guration used.
