Exterior Vent Terminal
These models are approved for use with
Simpson Dura-Vent 6
5 /
8
" direct-vent pipe
components and terminations as well as both
flex and rigid Vanguard vent components.
Your fireplace is approved to be vented either
through the side wall, or vertically using the
following guidelines:
• Only use Vanguard or Simpson Dura-
Vent GS venting components or kits spe-
cifically approved for this fireplace.
• Minimum clearance between vent pipes
and combustible materials is 1" (25 mm),
except where stated otherwise.
• Combustible material may be flush with
the top front of fireplace with a maxi-
mum thickness of 3/4".
• Do not recess venting terminals into a
wall or siding.
• Install horizontal venting with a 1/4"
rise for every 12" of run toward the ter-
mination.
• You may paint the vent terminal with
450
°
F (232
°
C) heat-resistant paint to co-
ordinate with the exterior finish.
• There must not be any obstruction such
as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks,
or utility buildings within 24" from the
front of the termination cap.
• Do not locate termination cap where ex-
cessive snow or ice build up may occur.
Be sure to clear vent termination area af-
ter snow falls to prevent accidental block-
age of venting system. When using snow
blowers, do not direct snow towards vent
termination area.
LOCATION OF VENT
TERMINATION
When locating vent termination, it is impor-
tant to observe the minimum clearances
shown in Figure 13, page 6. You will avoid
extra framing by positioning your fireplace
against an already existing framing mem-
ber. The sides of the fireplace may be posi-
tioned directly against combustible walls.
*Check with local codes or with the current
CAN/CGA B149[.1 or .2] Installation Codes
for Canada or the USA Installations follow
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANS
Z223.1, also known as NFPA 54.
