How to Use the Vent Graph
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. 10),
locate the point intersecting with the 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 11’ (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face of the outer
wall must not exceed 14’ (4.3 m).
Example B:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 7’
(2.14 m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall
must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6 m).
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 ends 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.

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 (See
‘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” (508 mm). (Fig. 11, 12)
• Only one 45° elbow is allowed in these installations.
• Minimum clearances between vent pipe and com-
bustible materials are as follows:
Top - 2” (51 mm)
Sides - 1” (25 mm)
Bottom - 1” (25 mm)
