Flue Information
A. Flue Components
This model is approved for use with Simpson Dura-Vent
pipes, components and terminations. Approved compo-
nents are labeled for identifi cation. This fl ue is tested and
listed as an approved component of the stove.
DO NOT USE FIELD-FABRICATED FLUE COMPONENTS.
Refer to the flue manufacturer’s instructions.
This product is approved to be flued either horizontally
through the side wall or vertically through the roof. You
may flue through a Class A or masonry chimney if an
approved adapter is used.
This gas stove is a balanced fl ue gas stove. All combus-
tion air must come directly from the outside of the build-
ing. The fl ue pipe for this unit consists of an inner and an
outer pipe. The inner pipe carries the gas stove exhaust
out of the system, and the outer pipe brings fresh com-
bustion air into the gas stove.
• A heat shield is required when the fl ue pipe passes
through a combustible wall.
• A support box or ceiling fi restop is required when the
venting passes through a ceiling.
• Roof fl ashing and a storm collar are required when fl ue
pipe passes through the roof.
• Follow instructions provided with the fl ue pipe for instal-
lation of these items.

B. Use of Elbows
C. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements were made using
the following standards.
1. Pipe measurements are from center line to center line.
2. Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (fl ange of termination cap). See
Figure 3.1 on page 7.
3. Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent as-
pects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the
vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect (see
Figure 4.1).
Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow. On
45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 216 mm horizontal
run and 216 mm vertical run. A length of straight pipe is
allowed between two 45º elbows (see Figure 4.1).
