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. 14)
locate the point intersecting with 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).

Rear Wall Venting Applications
* Exterior Outside Wall
7” (178 mm) to 20” (508 mm)
From Rear of Unit *
With this application, the following rigid pipe kits may be
used:
7” to 13” (178 - 330 mm) to outside wall: 7TCRVT
13” to 20” (330 - 305 mm) to outside wall: 7TCRVT1320
45° elbow with 20” (508 mm) Starter for corner applica-
tions
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 MHSC venting components are approved to be
used in these applications. (Refer to “Venting Com-
ponents” listed for different installation requirements)
• The maximum straight out the back horizontal
distance between the rear of the appliance and
the outside face of the rear wall is 20” (508 mm).
The minimum is 7” (178 mm). (Fig. 15)
Twist Lock Pipes
When using MHSC 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 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 pipe 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.
