10) Install wall thimble in the center of the 11"
(279mm) square and attach with wood
screws (Diagram 7).
Diagram 5
7) Insure that the 1-1/4"(32mm) pipe clearances
to combustible materials are maintained
(Diagram 5). Install the termination cap.
Note: If installing termination on a vinyl
siding covered wall, a vinyl siding
standoff or furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination
is not recessed into the siding.
The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
8) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble (Part # 1247) over the vent pipe,
required in Canada.
9) Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the
vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is
important that the vent pipe extends into the
vent cap suffi cient distance so as to result
in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches
(32mm). Secure the connection between the
vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the
two sheet metal strips extending from the
vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the
vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe
section. See Diagram 6.
UNIT INSTALLATION
WITH HORIZONTAL
TERMINATION
(Rigid Vent Systems)
Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with the
components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check
to determine if wall studs or roof rafters
are in the way when the venting system is
attached. If this is the case, you may want
to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in
the gas preferably on the right side of the
unit and the electrical (junction block is on
the left side) on the left.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fi ttings are designed with
special twist-lock connections to connect the
venting system to the appliance fl ue outlet.
A twist-lock appliance adaptor is required.
3) In conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent
Direct Vent GS system. Install the adaptor
after the unit is set in its desired location.
Put a bead of high temperature silicone
inside the outer section of the adapter and
a bead of Mill Pack on the inner collar. Slip
the adapter over the existing inner and outer
fl ue collar. Fasten to the outer collar only with
the 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will
make this easier).
4) Level the fi replace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the top and
side nailing strips.
5) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe
and high temp silicone sealant to
outer pipe on every twist-lock joint.

6) Mark the wall for a 11" x 11" (279mm x
279mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the center-
line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the
11 inch (279mm) square hole in the exterior
wall where the vent will be terminated. See
diagram 2 for center line requirements.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed
of non-combustible material, i.e. masonry
block or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter
hole is acceptable.
Diagram 2
Note:
a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the vent to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and
may present the possibility of a fi re.
The arrow on the vent cap should be
pointing up.
b) The location of the horizontal vent
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. See
"Exterior Vent Termination Locations"
INSTALLATION
Horizontal runs of vent must be supported
every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are
available for this purpose.
