Vertical Termination - Direct Vent ONLY

A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 8’

(2.44m) and no more than 40’ (12m) above the appli-

ance ﬂue collar. A 2Z\v” restrictor plate (supplied) must

be used where speciﬁed in all vertically terminated vent

systems. (Fig. 8) NOTE: The restrictor plate supplied

with the vertical termination should be discarded. Install

restrictor plate supplied with stove directly at stove

outlet. A vertically terminated vent system must also

conform to the following criteria:

• No more than three 90˚ elbows may be used.

• Two 45˚ elbows may be substituted for one 90˚ el

bow. No more than six elbows may be used.

• Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet before offset is

used.

• Termination height must conform to roof clearance

as speciﬁed in Figure 9.

Vent Termination Clearances

When planning the installation, consider the location

of the vent terminal and clearances. Some of the most

common clearances to keep in mind are shown in Fig-

ure 10.

Important: All vent clearances must be maintained.

Check your vent termination clearances against

Figures 9 through 11.

The vent should be placed so that people cannot be

burned by accidentally touching the vent surfaces when

the stove is operating.

The vent termination should be located where it cannot

be damaged by such things as automobile doors, lawn

mowers or snowblowers and it should be located away

from areas where it could become blocked by snow,

etc.

Some considerations are:

• Obstructions or impediments to venting.

• Nearby combustible materials that could come into

contact with combustion exhaust gases.

• Other nearby openings {within 12” (305mm)} through

which exhaust gas could reenter the building.

• All vegetation within 3’ ((76mm) that may interfere

with the draft.

Other factors that inﬂuence where the installation will

be sited include the location of outside walls, where

additional heat may be desired in the home, where the

family members gather most regularly, and perhaps

most importantly, the distance limitations of the venting

system.

IMPORTANT

Direct Vent Only

• The horizontal termination must not be recessed

into the exterior wall or siding.

• Horizontal vent runs must be level toward the vent

termination.

• Clearances around the vent termination must be

maintained.

• For installations using Simpson DuraVent pipe,

parallel installations with minimum wall clearance

have restricted access for connecting the Hori-

zontal Vent Cap straps to the vent pipe. See the

maker’s instructions for recommended installation

procedures.
