APPLICATION

These instructions apply to the M&G

DuraVent DirectVent Pro 4”x6-5/8”

and 5”x8” systems. This venting

system, in combination with the gas

appliance, has been tested and listed

as a decorative gas appliance system

or as a direct vent heater system

by a major testing agency such as

UL, AGA, CGA, OMNI, or Warnock

Hersey. Check the manufacturer’s

rating plate and instruction manual to

confirm that the M&G DuraVent Direct

Vent is approved for use on the brand

name appliance you have selected.

IMPORTANT

Read all instructions carefully before

starting the installation. Failure to follow

these instructions may create a fire or

other safety hazard and will void the

warranty.

Check with the appliance

manufacturer’s installation

instructions for specific venting

and clearance to combustible

requirements, which may vary from

one appliance to another. Be sure

to comply with minimum or maximum

distances of vertical or horizontal

runs as prescribed in the appliance

manufacturer’s installation instructions.

WARNING

• Always maintain required clearances

(air spaces) to nearby combustibles

to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill

air spaces with insulation. Be sure to

check the appliance manufacturer’s

installation instructions for minimum

clearance requirements between

the outer walls of the vent pipe and

nearby combustible surfaces. Be

sure to check the vent termination

clearance requirements from decks,

windows, soffits, gas regulators, air

supply inlets, and public walkways,

as specified in these installation

instructions and local building codes.

• The gas appliance and vent system

must be vented directly to the outside

of the building, and never be attached

to a chimney serving a separate solid

fuel or gas-burning appliance. Each

direct vent gas appliance must use its

own separate vent system. Common

vent systems are prohibited.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

FOR THE INSTALLER

• Wear gloves and safety glasses for

protection.

• Exercise extreme caution when

using ladders or on roof tops.

• Be aware of electrical wiring

locations in walls and ceilings.
