REQUIREMENTS

These appliances are approved for installation in

the US state of Massachusetts if the following

additional requirements are met:

• Install this appliance in accordance with

Massachusetts Rules and Regulations 248

C.M.R. Sections 4.00 through 8.00.

• Installation and repair must be done by a

• The individual manual shut-off must be a

T-handle type valve.

Massachusetts Horizontal Vent Requirements

In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, hori-

zontal terminations installed less than seven

(7) feet above the ﬁnished grade must comply

with the following additional requirements:

• A hard wired carbon monoxide detector

with an alarm and battery back-up must be

installed on the ﬂoor level where the gas

ﬁreplace is installed. The carbon monoxide

detector must comply with NFPA 720, be

ANSI/UL 2034 listed and be ISA certiﬁed.

KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS.

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION

For cold climate installations, seal all cracks

around your appliance with noncombustible

material and wherever cold air could enter

the room. It is especially important to insulate

outside chase cavity between studs and under

ﬂoor on which appliance rests, if ﬂoor is above

ground level. Gas line holes and other openings

should be caulked or stuffed with unfaced

ﬁberglass insulation.

If the ﬁreplace is being installed on a cement

slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or

other raised platform can be placed underneath

to prevent cold transfer to the ﬁreplace and

into the room. It also helps to sheetrock inside

surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness

and caulk ﬁrestops.

du mobilier et des tentures (Figure 2).

The location should also be free of electrical,

plumbing or other heating/air conditioning

ducting.

These direct-vent appliances are uniquely

suited for installations requiring a utility shelf

positioned directly above the ﬁreplace. Utility

shelves like these are commonly used for

locating television sets and decorative plants.

Be aware that this is a heat producing ap-

pliance. Objects placed above the unit are

exposed to elevated temperatures.

Do not insulate the space between the

appliance and the area above it (see Figure

7 on Page 10).

The minimum height from the base of the

appliance to the underside of combustible

materials used to construct a utility shelf in

this fashion is shown in Figure 7 on Page 10.

The appliance must be mounted on a fully

supported base extending the full width

and depth of the unit. The appliance may be

located on or near conventional construction

materials. However, if installed on combustible

materials, such as carpeting, vinyl tile, or other

combustible material other than wood ﬂooring,

the appliance shall be installed on a metal or

wood panel extending the full width and depth

of the appliance.

*NOTE: 3" (75 mm) above any horizontal/inclined vent component.

**NOTE: See Page 10, Step 1 for clearance requirements to the nailing

ﬂange located at each side of the unit and any screw heads adjacent

to it. See Page 30 for hearth extension requirements.

NOTE: Insulation shield (F4358, see Page 10) must be installed

when blown or loose-ﬁll insulation is used, and is required for

all attic installations.

Shelf Height

To provide for the lowest possible shelf surface, the venting attached to

the top vent should be routed in a way to minimize obstructions to the

space above the appliance. Do not insulate the space between the ap-

pliance and the area above it (see Figure 7). The minimum height from

the base of the appliance to the underside of combustible materials used

to construct a utility shelf in this fashion is shown in Figure 7.

Wall Finishes / Surrounds / Mantels

NOTE: Combustible wall ﬁnish materials and/or surround materials must

not be allowed to encroach the area deﬁned by the appliance front face

(black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to be positioned

in front of or overlapping the appliance face. See Figure 9 and Figure

51 on Page 30.

Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim,

may be installed on the appliance front face with these exceptions: they

must not cover any portion of the removable glass panel.

Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according

to the depth of the mantel. See Figure 8. Mantels constructed of non-

combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance

opening. Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such

as shelves, window sills, mantels, etc. above the appliance.

NOTE: We recommend the use of high temperature paint (rated 175° F

or higher) on the underside of the mantel.

Minimum clearance requirements include any projections such as

shelves,window sills, mantels, etc. above the appliance.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

The appliance is approved with zero clearance to combustible materials

on all sides (as detailed in Table 5), with the following exception: When

the unit is installed with one side ﬂush with a wall, the wall on the

other side of the unit must not extend beyond the front edge of the

unit. In addition, when the unit is recessed, the side walls surrounding

the unit must not extend beyond the front edge of the unit (see Figure 2).

Figure 12—Corner Framing with Horizontal Termination (8DVLHT)

Proper Sizing of Gas Line

Properly size and route the gas supply

line from the supply regulator to the area

where the appliance is to be installed per

requirements outlined in the National Fuel Gas

Code, NFPA 54—latest edition (USA) or CAN/

CGA-B149.1—latest edition (Canada).

NOTES:

• All appliances are factory-equipped with a

ﬂexible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff

valve (see Figure 36 on Page 25).

• See Massachusetts Requirements on Page

6 for additional requirements for installations

in the state of Massachusetts in the USA.

• The gas supply line should Not be connected

to the appliance until Step 6 (Page 25).

• A pipe joint compound rated for gas should be

used on the threaded joints. Ensure propane

resistant compounds are used in propane

applications. Be very careful that the pipe

compound does not get inside the pipe.

• It is recommended to install a sediment trap

in the supply line as close as possible to the

appliance (see Figure 36 on Page 25).

• Check with local building ofﬁcial for local

code requirements.

IMPORTANT: If propane is used, be aware that

if tank size is too small (i.e. under 100 lbs, if

this is the only gas appliance in the dwelling.

Ref. NPFA 58), there may be loss of pressure,

resulting in insufﬁcient fuel delivery (which

can result in sooting, severe delayed ignition

or other malfunctions). Any damage resulting

from an improper installation, such as this,

is not covered under the limited warranty.

Step 2. ROUTING GAS LINE

Route a 1/2" (13 mm) gas line along the inside

of the right side framing as shown in Figure

13. Gas lines must be routed, constructed and

made of materials that are in strict accordance

with local codes and regulations.

All appliances are factory-equipped with a

ﬂexible gas line connector and 1/2" shutoff

valve. (See Step 6 on Page 24).

The incoming gas line should be piped into the

valve compartment and connected in one of the

two methods as shown in Figure 36 on Page 25.

Never use galvanized or plastic pipe. Refer to

Table 6 for proper sizing of the gas supply

line, if black iron pipe is being used. Gas lines

must be routed, constructed and made of

materials that are in strict accordance with

local codes and regulations. We recommend

that a qualiﬁed individual such as a plumber

or gas ﬁtter be hired to correctly size and route

the gas supply line to the appliance. Installing

a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the

appliance involves numerous considerations of

materials, protection, sizing, locations, controls,

pressure, sediment, and more. Certainly no one

unfamiliar and unqualiﬁed should attempt sizing

or installing gas piping.

Step 3. INSTALL THE VENT SYSTEM

General Information

These instructions should be used as a guide-

line and do not supersede local codes in any

way. Install vent according to local codes,

these instructions, the current National Fuel

Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or the

current standards of CAN/CGA-B149.1 and

-B149.2 in Canada.

Ensure clearances are in accordance with

local installation codes and the requirements

of the gas supplier.

Dégagement conforme aux codes

d'installation locaux et aux exigences du

foumisseunde gaz.

Use only approved venting components.

See Approved Vent Components on

Page 4.

These ﬁreplaces must be vented directly

to the outside.

The vent system may not service multiple

appliances, and must never be connected to a

ﬂue serving a separate solid fuel burning ap-

pliance. The vent pipe is tested to be run inside

an enclosing wall (such as a chase). There is

no requirement for inspection openings in the

enclosing wall at any of the joints in the vent pipe.

Installation of Vent Restrictor

A vent restrictor may be needed with this

appliance. The restrictor is installed in the

appliance top ﬂue outlet as shown in Figure 14,

For vertical venting from 6 feet to 12 feet or

more, from the top of the ﬁreplace to the top

of the termination, the installation of a vent

restrictor is required.

If necessary, install a vent restrictor in the

appliance ﬂue outlet as shown in Figure 14. The

VERTICAL TERMINATION SYSTEMS (ROOF)

See Figure 15 and Figures 23 through 25 on

Page 18 and their associated Vertical Vent

Tables which illustrate the various vertical venting

conﬁgurations that are possible for use with

these appliances. 8" DV Lock pipe applications

are shown in these ﬁgures. A Vertical 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.

The vertical vent system terminates through

the roof. The minimum vent height above the

roof and/or adjacent walls is speciﬁed in ANSI

Z223.1—latest edition (In Canada, the current

CAN/CGA-B149.1 installation code) by major

building codes. Always consult your local

codes for speciﬁc requirements. A general

guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer to

Figure 4 on Page 8).

Vertical (Straight) Installation

(Figure 15)

Determine the number of straight vent 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 (see Tables on this page and Page

32—Vent Sections). Plan the vent lengths so

that a joint does not occur at the intersection of

ceiling or roof joists. Refer to the Vent Section

Length Chart.

NOTE: Convert inches into metric equivalent

measurement, as follows:

Millimeters (mm) = Inches x 25.4

Centimeters (cm) = Inches x 2.54

Vertical (Offset) Installation

Analyze the vent routing and determine the

quantities of vent sections and number of elbows

required. Refer to Vertical Vent Figures and

Tables on Page 18 to select the type of vertical

installation desired. Vent sections are available

in net lengths of 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). Refer to the Vent Section

Length Chart on Page 15 for an aid in select-

ing length combinations. Elbows are available

in 90° and 45° conﬁgurations. Refer to Figure

20 on Page 17 for the 8DVLE45 and 8DVLE90

elbow dimensional speciﬁcations.

Where required, an adjustable DV length

section (8DVLAL) may be used to provide the

installer with an option in installing in tight and

conﬁned spaces or where the vent run made

up of ﬁxed length pieces develops a joint in

a undesirable location, or will not build up to

the required length. The 8DVLAL adjustable

DV length section has an effective length of

from 1-1/2" (38 mm) to 6-3/4" (171 mm). The

8DVLAL is ﬁtted with a dimpled end (identical

to a normal vent section component) and a

plain end with 3 pilot holes. Slip the dimpled

end over the locking channel end of a standard

8DVL vent component the required distance and

secure with three screws.

Maintain a minimum 1" (26 mm) clearance

to combustible materials for all vertical ele-

ments. Clearances for all horizontal elements

are 3" (77 mm) on top, 1" (26 mm) on sides

and 1" (26 mm) on the bottom.

A. Frame ceiling opening—Use a plumb line

from the ceiling above the appliance to locate

center of the vertical run. Cut and/or frame an

opening, 13" x 13" (330 mm x 330 mm) inside

dimensions, about this center mark (Figure 16).

B. Attach vent components to appliance—

8" DV Lock (8DVL) direct-vent system compo-

nents are unitized concentric pipe components

featuring positive twist lock connections (see

Figure 17).

All of the appliances covered in this document

are ﬁtted with collars having locking inclined

channels. The dimpled end of the vent compo-

nents ﬁt over the appliance collar to create the

positive twist lock connection.

Joint Connection - 8” DV LOCK Direct Vent

components are engineered for easy twist

lock assembly. Eight indentations are located

on the female end of pipe and ﬁttings to slide

straight into the male end of the adjacent pipe

or ﬁtting, by orientating the eight indentations

so they match and slide into the eight entry

slots on the male ends.

Push the pipe sections completely together,

then twist lock one section clockwise approxi-

mately one-quarter turn until the two sections

are fully locked (see Figure 17). Indentations

on the female end of black painted pipe and

ﬁttings will not be visible unless by examining

the inside of the female ends.

The unitized design of the 8" DV Lock com-

ponents will engage and seal both the inner

and outer pipe without the need for sealant or

screws. If desired a #6 x 1/2" screw may be

used at the joint, but it is not required as the

pipe will securely lock when twisted.

C. Attach vent components to each other—

Other vent sections may be added to the previ-

ously installed section in accordance with the

requirements of the vertical vent ﬁgures and

tables. To add another vent component to a

length of vent run, align the dimpled end over the

inclined channel end of the previously installed

section, adjusting the radial alignment until the

eight female end indentations are aligned with

the male end entry slots of the previous section.

Push the vent component against the previous

section until it fully engages, then twist the

component clockwise running the dimples down

and along the incline channels until they seat at

the end of the channels. This seating position

is indicated by the alignment of the indents

into the entry slots as shown in Figure 17.

D. Install vertical ﬁrestop at ceiling—When

using 8" DV Lock, use 8DVLVF vertical ﬁrestop

at ceiling joists. If there is living space above

the ceiling level, the vertical ﬁrestop must be

installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic

space is above the ceiling, the vertical ﬁrestop

must be installed on the top side of the joist.

Route the vent sections through the framed

opening and secure the ﬁrestop with 8d nails

or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.

Remember to maintain 1" (26 mm) clearance

to combustibles, framing members, and attic

or ceiling insulation when running vertical

chimney sections. Insulation shield (F4358)

is required and may be used to help maintain

the clearances indicated here. See installation

accessories on Page 32. The gap between the

vent pipe and a vertical ﬁrestop can be sealed

with non-combustible caulking.

E. Support the vertical vent run sections—

NOTE: Proper venting support is very important.

The weight of the vent must not be supported

by the ﬁreplace in any degree.

Support the vertical portion of the venting

system every 8 feet (2.4 m) above the ﬁreplace

vent outlet.

G. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined

sections—Continue with the installation of the

straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run

as described in Step C. Install wall support

straps every 3 ft (914 mm) along horizontal/

inclined vent runs using conventional plumber’s

tape. See Page 19, Figure 26. It is very

important that the horizontal/inclined run

be maintained in a straight (no dips), slightly

elevated plane. The recommended incline is

approximately 1/4" per foot (20 mm per meter)

horizontal, in a direction away from the ﬁreplace.

The rise per foot run ratios that are smaller

are acceptable all the way down to at or near

level. Use a carpenter’s level to measure from

a constant surface and adjust the wall support

straps as necessary.

It is important to maintain the required clear-

ances to combustibles: 1" (26 mm) at all sides

for all vertical runs; and 3" (77 mm) at the

top, 1" (26 mm) at sides, and 1" (26 mm) at

the bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.

H. Frame roof opening—Identify location for

vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per

Roof Framing Chart (Figure 20).

One method of support is by utilizing ﬁeld

provided wall support straps (conventional

plumber's tape). Secure the plumber's tape to

the framing members with nails or screws. Strap

the tape around the vent, securing the ends of

the tape to the framing. If desired, sheet metal

screws #6 x 1/2" length may be used to secure

the wall support straps to the vent pipe. See

Figure 18 on Page 16.

F. Change vent direction to horizontal/inclined

run—At transition from or to a horizontal/in-

clined run, install the 8DVLE45 and 8DVLE90

elbows in the same manner as the straight vent

sections. Fully engage the inner and outer unit-

ized pipes at the bottom of the elbow. Rotate the

elbow in the desired direction. NOTE: Three (3)

holes are provided at the bottom of the elbows.

Secure the elbow in place with a minimum of

two (2) self tapping screws. The top of the elbow

will connect to straight lengths of 8" DV Lock

pipe by twist-locking the pieces together. See

Figure 17 on Page 16 and Figure 19.

Figure 19

If the vent system extends more than 5 feet (1.5

m) above the roof ﬂashing, stabilizers may be

necessary. Additional screws may be used at

section joints for added stability. Guide wires

may be attached to the joint for additional sup-

port on multiple joint conﬁgurations.

K. Install the vertical termination—The ﬁnal

step involves installation of the Vertical Termina-

tion. Extend the vent sections to the height as

shown in the "Vertical vent termination section"

on Page 8. The 8DVLVT Vertical Termination

(Figure 22) can be installed in the exact same

fashion as any other 8" DV Lock section. Align

the termination over the end of the previously

installed section, adjusting the radial alignment

until the entry slots on the last vent section

engage into the indents on the termination.

Push the termination down until it fully engages,

then twist the termination clockwise running the

dimples down and along the incline channels

until they seat at the end of the channels.

I. Install the roof ﬂashing—Extend the vent

sections through the roof structure. Install the

roof ﬂashing over the vent section and posi-

tion such that the vent column rises vertically

(use carpenters level) (Figure 21). Nail along

perimeter to secure ﬂashing or adjust rooﬁng to

overlap the ﬂashing edges at top and sides only

and trim where necessary. Seal the top and both

sides of the ﬂashing with waterproof caulking.

J. Install the storm collar—Install the storm

collar, supplied with the vertical termination,

over the vent/ﬂashing joint (see Figure 21).

Secure the storm collar in place on top of the

ﬂashing by sliding the tab through the mating

slot and folding over. Apply non-combustible

caulking or mastic around the circumference of

the joint to provide a water tight seal.

NOTES:

• 8" DV Lock (rigid vent pipe) is shown in

the ﬁgures.

• It is very important that the horizontal/

inclined run be maintained in a straight

(no dips), slightly elevated plane. The

recommended incline is approximately

1/4" per foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal,

in a direction away from the ﬁreplace. The

rise per foot run ratios that are smaller are

acceptable all the way down to at or near

level.

• 8DVLVF (8" DV Lock) vertical ﬁrestop must

be used anytime vent pipe passes through

a combustible ﬂoor or ceiling. 8DVLHF (8"

DV Lock) horizontal ﬁrestop must be used

anytime vent pipe passes through a com-

bustible wall.

• Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one

90º elbow. The same rise to run ratios, as

shown in the venting ﬁgures for 90º elbows,

must be followed if 45º elbows are used.

A Vent Restrictor, as shown in Figure 17 on Page

12, may need to be used in this application

Example: If 20 feet of (H) horizontal

vent run is needed, then 4-1/2 feet

minimum of (V) vertical vent will be

required.

A Vent Restrictor, as shown in

Figure 14 on Page 14, must be used

E. Attach vent components to each other—

8” DV LOCK Direct Vent components are

engineered for easy twist lock assembly. Eight

indentations are located on the female end of

pipe and ﬁttings to slide straight into the male

end of the adjacent pipe or ﬁtting, by orientating

the eight indentations so they match and slide

into the eight entry slots on the male ends.

Push the pipe sections completely together,

then twist lock one section clockwise approxi-

mately one-quarter turn until the two sections

are fully locked (see Figure 17). Indentations

on the female end of black painted pipe and

ﬁttings will not be visible unless by examining

the inside of the female ends.

F. Install vertical ﬁrestop at ceiling - When

using 8" DV Lock, use 8DVLVF vertical ﬁrestop

at ceiling joists. If there is living space above

the ceiling level, the vertical ﬁrestop must be

installed on the bottom side of the ceiling. If attic

space is above the ceiling, the vertical ﬁrestop

must be installed on the top side of the joist.

Route the vent sections through the framed

opening and secure the ﬁrestop with 8d nails

or other appropriate fasteners at each corner.

Remember to maintain 1" (26 mm) clearance

to combustibles, framing members, and attic

or ceiling insulation when running vertical

chimney sections. Insulation shield (F4358)

is required and may be used to help maintain

the clearances indicated here. See installation

accessories on Page 32. The gap between the

G. Support the vertical run sections—See

Step E on Page 18.

H. Change vent direction—At transition from or

to a horizontal/inclined run, install the 8DVLE45

and 8DVLE90 elbows in the same manner as the

straight vent sections. The elbows feature a twist

section to allow them to be routed about the

center axis of their initial collar section to align

with the required direction of the next vent run

element. Twist elbow sections in a clockwise

direction only so as to avoid the possibility

of unlocking any of the previously connected

vent sections (see Figure 17 on Page 18).

I. Continue installation of horizontal/inclined

sections—Continue with the installation of the

straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run

as described in Step E on Page 16. Install wall

support straps every 3 feet (1914 mm) along

horizontal/inclined vent runs using conventional

plumber’s tape.

See Figure 26, It is very important that the

horizontal/inclined run be maintained in a

straight (no dips), slightly elevated plane. The

recommended incline is approximately 1/4"

per foot (20 mm per meter) horizontal, in a

direction away from the ﬁreplace. The rise per

foot run ratios that are smaller are acceptable

all the way down to at or near level.

It is important to maintain the required clear-

ances to combustibles: 1" (26 mm) at all sides

for all vertical runs; and 3" (77 mm) at the

top, 1" (26 mm) at sides, and 1" (26 mm) at

the bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.

Use a carpenter’s level to measure from a

constant surface and adjust the wall support

straps as necessary.

HORIZONTAL (OUTSIDE WALL) TERMINATION

SYSTEM

See Figures 26–31 and their associated Horizon-

tal Vent tables that illustrate the various horizontal

venting conﬁgurations that are possible for use

with these appliances. 8" DV Lock pipe applica-

tions are shown in these Figures. 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.

The horizontal vent system terminates through

an outside wall. Building Codes limit or prohibit

terminating in speciﬁc areas. Refer to Figure 6

on Page 9 for location guidelines.

8" DV Lock direct-vent system components are

unitized concentric pipe components featuring

positive twist lock connection, (refer to Figure

17 on Page 16). All of the appliances covered

in this document are ﬁtted with collars having

locking inclined channels. The dimpled end of

the vent components ﬁt over the appliance col-

lar 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 venting so that a joint does not

occur in the ceiling or roof joists. Allow for elbows

as indicated in Figure 20 on Page 17.

Maintain a minimum 1" (26 mm) clearance

to combustibles on the vertical sections.

Clearances for the horizontal runs are; 3"

(77 mm) on top, 1" (26 mm) on sides, and

1" (26 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

11 on Page 10. Cut and/or frame an opening,

15" x 13" (381 mm x 330 mm) inside dimen-

sions, with 9" above center and 7" below 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, 13" x 13" (330 mm x

330 mm) inside dimensions, about this center

(refer to Figure 17 on Page 16).

D. Attach vent components to appliance—To

attach a vent component to the appliance collar,

align the dimpled end over the collar, adjust-

ing the radial alignment until the four locking

dimples are aligned with the inlets of the four

incline channels on the collar (refer to Figure

16 on Page 16).

Push the vent component against the collar

until it fully engages, then twist the component

clockwise, running the dimples down and along

the incline channels until they seat at the end of

the channels. The unitized design of the 8" DV

Lock components will engage and seal both the

inner and outer pipe elements with the same

procedure. Sealant and securing screws are

not required.

Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather condi-

tions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.

When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the termination

where water from eaves and adjoining rooﬂines may create a heavy ﬂow of cascading water

onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the possibility of cascading water

exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the water away from the termination cap

by using gutters or other means.

Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including the

use of silicone caulking where required.

J. Assemble vent run to exterior wall—If not

previously measured, locate the center of the

vent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening as

described in Step B on Page 19. Assemble the

vent system to point where the terminus of the

last section is within 5" (127 mm) to 8-1/2" (216

mm) inboard of the exterior surface to which

the 8DVLHT horizontal termination is to be at-

tached, see Figure 29 and Table 9 on Page 21.

If the terminus of the last section is not within

this distance, use the adjustable DV length sec-

tion, 8DVLAL, as the last vent section. For wall

thicknesses greater than that shown in Figure

28, refer to Table 9 on Page 21. This table lists

the additional venting components needed (in

addition to the termination and adaptor) for a

particular range of wall thicknesses.

K. Install horizontal ﬁrestop at exterior wall

—When using the horizontal termination, install

8DVLHF horizontal ﬁrestop over the opening at

the exterior side of the framing, long side up,

with the 3" spacer clearance at the top as shown

in Figure 27, and nail into place.

(The horizontal ﬁrestop may also be installed

over the opening at the interior side of the

framing).

L. Install the Horizontal Termination (8DV-

LHT)— Before attaching the termination to

the exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening

sealant around the termination's outside edges

so as to make a seal between the termination

and the wall.

With the HOT arrow on the termination pointing

up, slide the termination through the wall and

into the vent pipe and secure the termination

to the exterior wall with four wood screws.

The termination must slide over the mating vent

pipe a minimum of 1-1/4 inches. Use an 8DVLAL

Adjustable DV Length section if necessary to

complete the connection with the vent pipe. If

using the 8DVLAL, secure it using three (3) #8

x 1/2 sheet metal screws.

Secure the joint between the termination and

vent pipe by attaching the two metal strips

extending from the termination to the outer

vent pipe with two (2) #8 x 1/2 sheet metal

screws.

The horizontal termination must not be re-

cessed into the exterior wall or siding by more

than the 1-1/4" (32 mm) as shown in Figure 28.

IMPORTANT: The vent termination is hot

while in operation and for a period of time

following the use of the ﬁreplace. Young

children should be carefully supervised

when they are in the same area as a hot

termination.
