Atwist-lock appliance adaptor is an availableoption that must be used in conjunctionwith the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent GSsystem.3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer sectionof the adapter and a bead of Mill Pac on theinner collar. Slip the adapter over the existinginner and outer flue collar and fasten to theouter collar only with the 3 supplied screws(drilling pilot holes will make this easier).Level the fireplace and fasten it to the fram-ing using nails or screws through the nailingstrips.4) Assemble the desired combination of pipeand elbows to the appliance adaptor andtwist-lock for a solid connection.Note:a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,located on the female ends of pipes andfittings, are designed to slide straightonto the male ends of adjacent pipesand fittings, by orienting the four pipeindentations so they match and slidein to the four entry slots on the maleends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sectionscompletely together, then twist-lockDiagram 1ported every three feet. Wall straps areavailable for this purpose.5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole.The center of the square hole should lineup with the centerline of the horizontalpipe.

(7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for flex) hole isacceptable.Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum heightis achieved by installing a 45o elbow directlyto the fl ue adaptor.Note:a) The horizontal run of flue must be level,or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 footof run towards the termination. Neverallow the flue to run downward. ThisDiagram 2could cause high temperatures andmay present the possibility of a fire.b) The location of the horizontal flue termi-nation on an exterior wall must meet alllocal and national building codes, andmust not be blocked or obstructed.
