his gas fireplace has been approved for:
• Vertical installations up to 40’ (1 m) in height. Up to
a 10’ (3 m) horizontal vent run can be installed within
the vent system using a maximum of two 90° elbows.
Figure 23
• Up to two 45° elbows may be used within the horizontal
run. For each 45° elbow used on the horizontal plane,
the maximum horizontal length must be reduced by
18” (450 mm).
Maximum horizontal length:
No elbows = 10’ (3 m)
1 x 45° elbow = 8.5’ (.6 m)
x 45° elbows = 7’ (.1 m)
• A minimum of an 8’ (.5 m) vertical rise is required.
• Two sets of 45° elbow offsets may be used within the
vertical sections. From 0 to a maximum of 8’ (.5 m) of
vent pipe can be used between elbows. Figure 23
• 7DVCS supports offsets. Figure 27. This application
will require that you first determine the roof pitch and
use the appropriate starter kit. (Refer to Venting Com-
ponents List)
• The maximum angular variation allowed in the system
is 70°. Figure 24
• For the minimum height of the vent above the highest
point of penetration through the roof refer to Page 1,
Figure 28.
