POWER VENTING OVERVIEW
In the event of a vent route that is unsupported based on the Gravity Vent Tables shown in the Flare Install Manual, Flare
Fireplaces may use a power vent to accommodate any extremely long, or negative degree venting routes. The 3 power vent
options allow the fireplace to operate in vent conditions that would not be possible without the powered fan. With a power-
vent you can install a 90-elbows right off the top of the fireplace. When using the power vent system, it is critical that the vent
path remain completely sealed for the power vent system to operate. The vent length and restrictor level should be set based
on number of feet, number of elbows, and the vent termination.
The Flare power vent system is an optional feature and can be used on a Flare Fireplace using Double Glass or our Invisible Mesh
safety screen. It comes in 3 different models:
•End of Line Power Vent Vertical
•End of Line Power Vent Horizontal
•In-Line Power Vent
The system is designed and tested with DuraVent 3x5 gasket direct vent pipes. It is critical for the safety and operation of the
system to use the DuraVent 3x5 gasket system.
See the link below for a DuraVent catalog & vent parts with part numbers:
https://www.DuraVent.com/docs/product/CVS_Catalog.pdf
All three Flare Power Vent systems can be installed with up to 8 elbows with up to 100ft vent run.
A minimum length of 20ft venting is required between the appliances. Do not install any Power Vent system if the minimum
length is below 20 ft. The three Power Vent systems can be installed with a maximum of 6ft vent run below the fireplace.
