Step 3. Installing the Vent System

A. Vent System Approvals

These models are approved to use D-series direct vent pipe

components and terminations (see Figures 4 and 5). Approved

vent system components are labeled for identification. This

pipe is tested and listed as an approved component of the

fireplace. The pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed

wall. There is no requirement for inspection openings at each

joint within the wall. There is no required pitch for horizontal

vent runs. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPO-

NENTS MAY BE USED.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent

termination kit and should be used in conjunction with this

Installers Guide.
The flame and ember appearance may vary based on the type of

fuel burned and the venting configuration used.

Identifying Vent Components
The vent systems installed on this gas fireplace may include

one, two, or three 90°

elbow assemblies. The relationships of

vertical rise to horizontal run in vent configurations using 90°

elbows MUST BE strictly adhered to. The rise to run relation-

ships are shown in the venting drawings and tables. Refer to

the diagrams on the next several pages.
NOTE: Two 45° elbows may be used in place of one 90°

elbow. Rise to run ratios in the vent system must be

followed if 45° elbows are used.
This model has vent starting collars on both the top and the

back of the unit. Depending upon the installation, decide

which ONE set of starting collars will be used to attach the

vent system. The starting collar sealing cap must remain on

the starting collar NOT used.
