Vent Requirements
•
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never
be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each direct vent gas
appliance must use it's own separate vent system.
Vent Clearances
•
The vent must maintain the required clearance to combustible materials to prevent a fire (see
“Clearances” below). Do not fill air spaces with insulation.
Min. 2" Clearance Above
45° Sloping Vent
0" Clearance to the sides
after the first firestop.
Use a firestop whenever
passing through a
ceiling, enclosure or
floor penetration.
Use a firestop when passing
through any wall (WARNING:
some firestops provide a 1"
clearance above the vent -- 2"
is required for this heater).
Min. 2" Clearance
Above the Vent
1/2" Clearance to the
front of vent before the
first firestop.
0" Clearance Below the Vent
after the first firestop.
0" Clearance to the
side of vent after the
first firestop.
Altitude Considerations
This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we have
found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
•
Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard.
Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.
Approved Vent
•
Use Model GS Direct Vent manufactured by Simpson Dura-Vent
only
. Follow the installation
instructions included with the vent. For the nearest Simpson Dura-Vent supplier, call (800) 835-4429.
•
This fireplace accepts 8" diameter GS Direct Vent. Vent configurations with at least 12" of rise may
use 6-5/8" diameter GS Direct Vent (use the adapter - part # 98900165).
See "Approved Vent Configurations" for further details on vent.
•
Always use the high-wind cap for the type of vent you are using.
