Step 1. Determine the desired location of the fireplace. Check to ensure that wall studs
or roof rafters are not in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is
the case, you may want to adjust the location of the stove.
Step 2. Simpson Dura-Vent pipe is designed with special twist-lock connections. To
connect the venting system to the stove flue outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built
into the stove at the factory. Remember to include wall thickness in minimum
clearances when figuring the measurements for your installation needs.
Note: Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations, located on the female ends of pipes and
fittings, are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings by
orienting the four pipe indentations so they match and slide into the four entry slots on
the male ends, see Fig. 5 below. Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-
lock one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn, until the two sections are
fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible from the outside, on the pipe or
fittings. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends.
NOTE: Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every 3' (914mm). Wall straps are available
for this purpose.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Horizontal sections require a 1/4" (6mm) rise for every 12" (305mm) of horizontal
travel.
Exterior Vent Diameter = 6 5/8" (177mm); Inner Vent Diameter = 4" (101mm)
Horizontal sections require noncombustible support every 3' (914mm) , e.g. plumbing
