NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance to
combustibles on the vertical sections. Clear-
ances for the horizontal runs are; 3" (76 mm)
on top, 1" (25 mm) on sides, and 1" (25 mm)
at the bottom.
B. Frame exterior wall opening -
Locate the center of the vent outlet on the
exterior wall according to the dimensions
shown in Figure 13 on Page 10. Cut and/
or frame an opening, 10-1/2" x 12 1/8"
(267 mm x 308mm) inside dimensions, about
this center.
C. Frame ceiling opening - If the vertical route
is to penetrate a ceiling, use plumb line to locate
the center above the appliance. Cut and/or frame
an opening, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267 mm x 267
mm) inside dimensions, about this center (refer
to Figure 18 on Page 14).

Example: If 20 feet total (H+H
1
)
horizontal vent run is needed, then 4
feet minimum of (V) vertical vent will
be required.
This table shows a 1(V) to 5(H) ratio.
For every 1 foot of (V) vertical, you are
allowed 5 feet of (H+H
1
) horizontal run
up to a maximum total horizontal run
of 20 feet.
An elbow is acceptable as 1 foot of
vertical rise.
Note: Install a second restrictor in
any run having more than 8 ft. of
vertical rise.

Figure 27 - Top Vent - THREE ELBOWS
VERTICAL VENT FIGURES/TABLES
(CONTINUED)
HORIZONTAL (OUTSIDE WALL)
TERMINATION SYSTEM
See Figure 28 on Page 18, and Figures 31
through 33 on Pages 19 through 22 and their
associated Horizontal Vent Tables which
illustrate the various horizontal venting con-
figurations that are possible for use with these
appliances. Secure Vent™ pipe applications
are shown in these Figures; Secure Flex pipe
may also be used. A Horizontal Vent Table
summarizes each system’s minimum and
maximum vertical and horizontal length values
that can be used to design and install the vent
components in a variety of applications.
Both of these horizontal vent systems terminate
through an outside wall. Building Codes limit or
prohibit terminating in specific areas. Refer to
Figure 7 on Page 7 for location guidelines.
Secure Vent SV4.5 direct-vent system compo-
nents are unitized concentric pipe components
featuring positive twist lock connection, (refer
to Figure 19 on Page 14). All of the appli-
ances covered in this document are fitted with
collars having locking inclined channels. The
dimpled end of the vent components fit over
the appliance collar to create the positive twist
lock connection.
A. Plan the vent run -
Analyze the vent routing and determine the
types and quantities of sections required
4-1/2" (114 mm), 10-1/2" (267 mm), 22-1/2"
(572 mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 46-1/2" (1181
mm) net section lengths are available. It is
recommended that you plan the vent lengths
so that a joint does not occur at the intersection
of ceiling or roof joists. Make allowances for
elbows as indicated in Figure 21.
