Installation

Top Vent Venting Runs

Before you install any venting, you must determine whether the
venting run will be acceptable. Unacceptable venting can affect the
fireplace's combustion.

The Venting Graph

Measure the vertical height from the fireplace hearth to the centre of
the termination and the horizontal run from the from the fireplace flue
collar to the wall flange of the termination. Plot on the Venting Graph
(Fig. 9) with an 'X'.

If the 'X' falls on or above the top boundary of the shaded area, the
installation is acceptable.

Example A: (Acceptable Installation)

If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 84" and
the horizontal run to the wall flange of the vent
termination is 36", this would be an acceptable
installation.

Example B: (Acceptable Installation)

If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 90" and
the horizontal run to the wall flange of the vent
termination is 120", this would be an acceptable
installation.

Example C: (Unacceptable Installation)

If the vertical dimension from the floor of the fireplace
is 72" and the horizontal run to the wall flange of the
vent termination is 84", this would NOT be an
acceptable installation.

Heat Shield. Install by sliding over the vent pipe where it
passes through combustible construction.

Heat Shields

Due to high flue temperatures, heat shields are required on all 38
Series Modular Direct Vent installations (except those with vertical
terminations) at the point where the
venting connects to the termination.
With the heat shield, vent
clearances can be maintained at
1".

NOTES:

All dimension lengths for vertical or horizontal runs are

measured from center of the vent pipe.

Venting runs must fall within the limits set by the

venting graph (see Figure 7).
