VENTING REQUIREMENTS
APPROVED DIRECT VENT CHIMNEY SYSTEMS:
- #745 DIRECT VENT TERMINATION KIT - for
terminations 4' or less.
- #718 DIRECT VENT TERMINATION KIT - for
terminations greater than 4' but less than 8'.
-#746 DIRECT VENT EXTENSION KIT - used in
conjunction with #745 or #718. The extension kit is
expandable to 6'.
The above direct vent kits are typically used for
horizontal venting applications.
Refertopages #4-#6 for venting requirements and page
#11 for complete installation instructions on the above
kits.
- SIMPSON DURA-VENT DV-GS CHIMNEY SYSTEM*:
Size: 4” x 6 5/8”.
For horizontal & vertical terminations.
- AMERI-VENT DIRECT VENT CHIMNEY SYSTEM*:
Size: 4" X 6 5/8".
For horizontal & vertical terminations.
*Adaptor #923-C is required to adapt the fireplace
exhaust and intake collars to the Dura-Vent and Amer-
Vent chimney systems.
Refer to pages #4-#7 and page #10 for complete venting
requirements.
Followinstallationinstructionsincludedwiththe#923-C
adaptor & installation instructions provided with the
chimney system you are using.

HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL VENTING CHART

HORIZONTAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS
The following are minimum venting configurations which may be used for direct thru-the-wall installations. This
generally will be determined by how the fireplace will be finished on the interior.
1. SIMPSON DURA-VENT PIPE ONLY MAY BE USED ON THE FOLLOWING CONFIGURATION:
#923-C adaptor, followed by a 90oelbow, then a minimum horizontal vent run of 6". A snorkel kit must then be used on the
outside of the house to ensure proper draft and compliance to the venting requirements as tested.
The maximum horizontal run for this configuration is 2' 6". See Figure 2A on page# 6.
2. SIMPSON DURA-VENT OR AMERI-VENT PIPE MAY BE USED ON THE FOLLOWING CONFIGURATIONS:
A. #923-C adaptor, followed by a 90oelbow, then a minimum/maximum horizontal vent run of 6". This is the only
accepted configuration that can be used without a snorkel kit. The vertical and horizontal runs cannot be increased.
Refer to Figure 2B, page #6.
B. MINIMUM VERTICAL RISE*: 17" (TO TOP OF INTAKE PIPE) - this is equivalent to (1) 6" chimney section followed by
(1) 90oelbow. See Figure 2C, page #6. NOTE: #923-C adaptor must be used.
MINIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN: 6 IN.
*MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN: 6 FT. (Horizontal runs must maintain 1/4” rise per ft.)
TOTAL HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL RUN MUST NOT EXCEED 32 FT.
3. KOZY HEAT #700 SERIES FLEXIBLE DIRECT VENT CHIMNEY SYSTEM:
Refer to Figure 2D, page #6.
MINIMUM VERTICAL RISE*: 18" (TO TOP OF INTAKE PIPE)
MINIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN: 6 IN.
*MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL RUN: 6 FT. (Horizontal runs must maintain 1/4" rise per ft.)
*Determined by the length of horizontal run. Using the chart above, find the minimum vertical rise required directly off the top of the
fireplace for the length of horizontal you need. A 50" vertical rise will allow a 20 ft. horizontal run (w/ 1/4" rise per ft. incline) with no
elbows.

Page 5
4. For each additional elbow used after the first elbow, you must subtract 5 ft. from the maximum horizontal run
allowed. A maximum of 2 elbows are allowed.
For example: A vertical rise of 18” directly off the top of the fireplace with a 90oelbow would be allowed to run 6’ with 1/4” rise per ft.. If
an additional elbow is used within this vent run, the maximum horizontal run allowed would be 1’ with 1/4” rise per ft.. (6 ft - 5 ft. (for
additional elbow) = 1 ft.)
TERMINATION VENT CAP LOCATION:
This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving another type of appliance.
GENERAL:
1. Terminations against vinyl siding must use a vinyl siding protector. Follow instructions included.
2. DO NOT RECESS TERMINATION KIT INTO OUTSIDE BUILDING MATERIALS - i.e.: brick, stone, etc.. If necessary,
extend framing so that termination kit will be exposed once building materials are installed.
3. Vent termination must not be located where it will become plugged by snow or other material. The flow of combustion and
ventilation air must be not obstructed.

SBetween two horizontal terminations - 12".
SBetween two vertical terminations - 12". (J) - Note: May be the same height.

(A) POSITION THE FIREPLACE.
1. Determine the exact position of your
fireplace. If possible, place the fireplace in
such a manner that the piping will be placed
between two studs so additional framing is
not necessary. Determine the width, depth
and height of the (optional) hearth.
Refer to Figure 4 below for various
installation options.
Maintain proper clearance to combustible
requirements listed on page #3.
Maintain proper clearances of vent system on
the exterior when horizontally terminating as
outlined on page #5.
CAUTION: COLD AIR TRANSFER AREA. THE
SURROUNDING WOOD CHASE OF THE
OUTSIDE WALL MUST BE INSULATED TO
PREVENT COLD AIR FROM ENTERING THE
ROOM.
NOTE: Due to high temperatures, this
fireplace should be located out of traffic areas
and away from furniture and draperies.
Figure 4
2. HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
Determine the height* & location of where the venting will exit on the exterior.
ATTENTION: #700SERIESDVSYSTEMS: THEHEIGHTTOTHETOPOFTHE FRAMEDOPENING
MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 49 ½" ABOVE THE HEIGHT OF THE FLOOR OR OPTIONAL HEARTH.
*Important: This measurement is determined by the vertical height and horizontal length of
the venting application desired. The measurement is to the top of the opening. Please refer
to pages #3- #6 of this installation manual for requirements and restrictions

Page 9
3. #700 SERIES VENT SYSTEMS: Cut a91/2"x 9 1/2"
hole for the firestop at the location determined . The
top of this hole must be a minimum of 49 ½" (A)
above the height of the floor or hearth.
Theflexibleterminationkitincludesaninteriorfirestop
assemblyshown inFigure 5, whichis installed on the
inside wall (over wall materials), around the flexible
pipe. Slide the firestop over the flex pipe with the
spacer legs toward the wall PRIOR to connecting to
the fireplace.
When the wall is complete, secure each corner with a
drywall screw. OPTIONAL: Apply a liberal bead of
sealant around the outside / wallside edge and place
over the 9 1/2” square opening.
Figure 5
SIMPSON DURA-VENT OR AMERI-VENT CHIMNEY SYSTEMS: REFER TO CHIMNEY
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPENING SIZE. MINIMUM CLEARANCE IS 1".
4. Build the hearth to the desired size and
height. See notes below.
5. Rough in the wall enclosure. The minimum
rough opening dimensions are:
32 1/4" high
36 1/2" wide
15 1/4" deep
Figure 6
NOTE: When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible materials other than wood flooring, it must be installed on
ametalorwoodpanelextendingthefullwidthanddepthofthefireplace. Theminimumforthesupportplatformunderthefireplaceis151/4"deep
by 36" wide. If masonry is to be used (optional), prepare the necessary foundation for the masonry load. When masonry construction is being
used, a lintel must be used over the top of the fireplace to support the added weight.
NOTE: A non-combustible hearth extension is not required. If a hearth extension is desired, combustible materials may be used.
