The Simpson Duravent GS®vent system is
listed for use with the Contemporary, except
for the snorkel. See the next page for a full
parts list.
PLANNING YOUR VENT INSTALLATION
This type of direct vent system may terminate in
one of two ways: Vertical termination using a vent
cap, or Horizontally using a wall termination. There
are limitations to the vertical and/or horizontal
lengths. When calculating the length of the vent
pipe from the outlet of the appliance to termination,
allow for ceiling thickness, vertical rise in the attic
or second story and sufficient vertical height above
the roof.
Fire stops are required at each floor level the vent
passes through.
When carrying out vertical installations that require
45° elbows add additional pipe to allow for the
offset.

Vent Restrictors
General
When air is heated within a firebox it raises into the vent system. This rising air creates a pressure
difference within the system, which is called draft. To ensure proper combustion and safety the draft
within a system must be between lower and upper limits. Generally as the length of the vent system
is increased the draft increases and can reach unacceptable levels. The vent kit restrictor is provided
to limit the draft at the firebox when using different length vent systems on a top vent stove. It is very
important that a qualified gas tradesman checks and ensures the unit is venting properly.
WARNING: IMPROPER VENTING CAN CAUSE UNSAFE OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE,
ENSURE THAT A QUALIFIED LICENSED TRADESMAN INSTALLS AND CHECKS THE
SYSTEM FOR PROPER VENTING AND DRAFT CONDITIONS.
The owner’s manual provides charts to guide the installer in choosing the correct restrictor for each
individual installation.
INSTALLATION
1) Install the restrictor at the top of the vent pipe just below the high wind vent cap. This is to
allow you to change it if necessary without disassembly of the entire system.
2) Choose the vent restrictor according to the charts provided in the owners manual.
3) Bend tabs on vent restrictor so restrictor fits snugly in vent pipe, place the corner of the
restrictor in the groove approximately 3” down from the top of the pipe, slide the restrictor
down until the opposite corner “clips” into the groove in the pipe as shown in picture #1.
4) Place a small tack of high temperature silicon on each corner of the restrictor to ensure it
will stay in place and not rattle. See picture #2
5) Install the high wind vent cap and check to ensure all vent connections are seating
properly.
6) Carefully light the appliance several times and ensure there is no flame lifting or
“ghosting”. Carefully monitor the flame and ensure the air adjustment is correct to provide
the desired flame and proper burning efficiency.

Simpson Duravent vent systems use twist lock connections. The adaptor attached to the unit connects to the approved venting
system. Assemble the vent system using the desired combination of sections and fittings required for your particular installation.
While you are assembling the pipe bear in mind the best visual appearance. Seams should be aligned and
hidden as much as possible. Make sure you twist the mating section all the way to make a solid connection.
Note: As this system is a sealed system, a high temperature sealing compound must be used to seal the
metal to metal joint.
Apply a bead of high temperature sealant to both the 4” exhaust and 6-5/8” intake section of the
male pipe. The female section of the pipe/fitting has four indentations evenly spaced around the
pipe. These indentations are designed to slide over the male section of the pipe and locate into
the four entry slots of the male section of pipe. Twist the female section clockwise a quarter
turn to fully lock the sections together.
Vent Pipe Assembly Procedure
WARNING: A minimum clearance of 2” to combustibles must be maintained around the
vent pipe on horizontal pipe runs and 1” on vertical runs.
Installation Instructions
Attach the correct length of vertical section pipe and an elbow fitting to the
stove.
Mark the center line of the pipe facing the wall (allowing for a 1/4” rise per foot
of horizontal run). Example 10 ft of horizontal would require a rise of 2.5”.
NOTE: ALLOWING THE VENT PIPE TO SLOPE DOWN TOWARDS THE
VENT TERMINATION COULD CAUSE POOR COMBUSTION AND/OR
HIGH TEMPERTURES THAT MAY PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD.
Mark a 10” x 10” square around the center mark (inside dimensions).
Cut and frame the exterior wall to accept the wall penetration heat shield. Install
the penetration shield using wood screws. If the wall being penetrated is
constructed of non-combustible material a 7” hole sufficient for the vent pipe, is
acceptable.
Horizontal Wall Vent Terminations
The position of the horizontal vent termination must be positioned to meet all local building codes (see termination chart on page 17)
Caution: When installing the termination on to vinyl siding, a vinyl siding
kit or furring strips must be used. This prevents the termination from
being recessed into the siding.

When the termination is to be attached to vinyl siding apply a bead of non-
hardening mastic around the outside edge to form a seal between the standoff
and the termination cap. Attach the termination cap to the exterior wall inserting
four wood screws through the holes in the corner of the vent termination.
Complete the installation by applying a bead of mastic around the outer edge of
the vinyl standoff. With the termination cap installed you can now connect the
completed vent assembly by sliding the unit back towards the wall and carefully
inserting the pipe into the terminal. Before the final connection is made slide on
the decorative wall thimble. Secure the termination cap by securing the
termination straps to the pipe as close to the exterior wall as possible using sheet
metal screws. Ensure that the straps are hidden by the wall thimble cover. Apply
decorative trim if required.

Vent Restrictors
Due to the extra flow produced
b y c e r t a i n v e n t i n g
configurations vent restrictors
must be placed in the vent to
maintain performance. The
vent restrictors come in four
sizes. When your installation
requires a vent restrictor the
correct restrictor is placed
inside the vent adaptor collar
on the unit. Proper instructions
for installing a vent restrictor
are included in the vent
restrictor kit.
4” Collar attached
Restrictor
Before sliding the pipe into the termination ensure that you
slide the decorative wall thimble cover and penetration heat
shield over the pipe.
Slide the pipe into the vent, making sure there is at least 1”
overlap between the pipe and the terminal. Attach the pipe by
attaching two sheet metal screws through the termination
straps and into the pipe. Bend back the straps towards the
termination cap making sure they are hidden by the
decorative thimble. Finally attach the wall penetration heat
shield and secure with wood screws.

Vertical Installations
Always maintain the 1” clearance around the vent pipe
(vertical), when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs,
enclosures, attic rafters or any combustible surfaces.
DO NOT PACK AIR SPACES WITH INSULATION.
Refer to the vent chart for maximum allowable vertical and
horizontal installations.
When planning your installation determine if ceiling joists, roof
rafters or other framing will obstruct the vent system. You may
have to use 45° elbows to navigate around any obstacles.
When passing through a flat ceiling install a Box/Wall thimble.
Cut a 10” square hole and frame as shown in the diagram
opposite.
Ensure all pipe sections are fully twist locked.
Basement Installations
To achieve the minimum vertical rise a 36” snorkel may be used.
Where the bottom of the terminal may be blocked by snow etc
ensure provision is made for adequate drainage.

EXISTING GAS SUPPLY
Before interrupting the existing gas supply it is recommended that the following be checked.
 Shut down all gas appliances and carry out a pressure test to insure there are no existing leaks in the system.
 Before connecting the appliance to the gas supply line, double check that the appliance you have purchased is
designed for the gas type you are using. The gas type markings are located on the certification label and also on the
appliance’s gas valve.
 Check the gas pressure to insure you will be able to supply the minimum inlet pressure for the appliance.
 Check your pipe sizing to insure sufficient volume will be supplied to the appliance.
Provide adequate clearance for proper installation and checking of the gas connections.
Have your gas supplier or a qualified gas fitter run a gas supply line into the gas appliance. The line must be properly
sized and fitted according to the installation codes. The installation must provide an easily accessible manual shut-off
valve, upstream of the appliance supply connection.
When test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) are used, the appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system. When test pressures are equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa), the
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve. Failure to
follow these instructions will damage the appliance’s gas valve. Such damage is not covered by the manufacturer’s
warranty.
Check for proper gas supply pressure by loosening the set-screw on the inlet pressure tap (marked IN) on the gas valve
with a small screw driver and placing a test gauge on the tap.
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure is 5.0 in. w.c. (1.24 kPa) for natural gas and 12.0 in. w.c. (3.00 kPa) for
propane. Maximum gas supply pressure should never exceed 14.0 in. w.c. (3.48 kPa) or 1/2 psi. for both natural gas and
propane.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE TAP SET-SCREW AFTER CHECKING THE PRESSURE. CHECK ALL GAS
CONNECTIONS FOR GAS LEAKS.

Pedestal Cover Removal
The pedestal cover must be carefully removed to access the gas valve and connections. To remove the pedestal cover
remove the 4 screws on the sides of the pedestal. Carefully lift the pedestal cover slightly as you pull it forward off of the
unit. The lifting is required so that you do not scratch up the base. When the cover is removed you should have easy
access for connections and testing purposes. When placing the pedestal cover back on the unit, use the same caution.
Carefully lift the cover and slide it over the pedestal, so that you do not scratch the base. Then replace the 4 screws on the
sides of the pedestal.
