A direct-vent appliance must haveits own venting system. DO NOT common vent this appliance.These models are approved to be vented either horizontally throughan outside wall or vertically through a roof or chase enclosure usingthe following guidelines:• When venting system terminates horizontally on an outside wall,you must install a standoff if the termination cap is to be in-stalled directly on a combustible finish such as vinyl, wood,stucco, etc.• Never run the vent downward as this may cause excessive tem-peratures which could cause a fire.• Vent pipe air space clearances to combustibles are 1" on all sidesexcept on the horizontal sections, which requires 2" clearancefrom the top of the pipe. Where the termination cap penetrates acombustible wall, 1" air space clearance is required.• Snorkel terminations are required when minimum clearance to gradecannot be met (see Figure 16 on page 11).• Have fireplace and selected vent components on hand to helpdetermine the exact measurements when elbowing or offsetting.Always use wall firestops when penetrating walls and firestopswhen penetrating ceilings or attic spaces.• Install horizontal venting with a 1/4" rise for every 12" of runtoward the termination.VENTING INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONSNOTICE: Read these instructions completely be-fore attempting installation.WARNING: Read all instructions completely andthoroughly before attempting installation.
