hasan effective length of from1-1/2" (38 mm)
to7-1/2"(191mm).TheSV4.5LA is fittedwith
a locking inclined channel end (identical to a
normal vent section component) and a plain

lation shield (96K94) may be used to obtain
the required clearances indicated here. See
installation accessories table on page 25.
E. Support the vertical vent run sections -
Note - Proper venting support is very impor-
tant. The weight of the vent must not be
supported by the fireplace in any degree.
Support the vertical portion of the venting
systemevery8feet(2.4m)abovethefireplace

ing field provided support straps (conven-
tional plumber's tape). Secure the plumber's
tape to the framing members with nails or
screws. Loopthetapearound thevent, secur-
ing the ends of the tape to the framing. If
desired, sheet metal screws #6 x 1/2" length
may be used to secure the support straps to
the vent pipe. See Figure 17.

The unitized design of the Secure Vent com-
ponents will engage and seal both the inner
and outer pipe without the need for sealant or
screws. If desired a #6 x 1/2" screw may be
used at the joint, but it is not required as the
pipe will securely lock when twisted.
Note: An elbow may not be directly attached
to the appliance collar.
C. Attach vent components to each other -
Other vent sections may be added to the pre-
viously installed section in accordance with
the requirements of the vertical vent figures
andtables. Toaddanotherventcomponentto

D. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling - When
usingSecureVent,useSV4.5VFfirestop/spacer
at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex, use
SF4.5VFfirestop/spacer.Ifthereislivingspace
above the ceiling level, the firestop/spacer
must be installed on the bottom side of the
ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the
firestop/spacer must be installed on the top
side of the joist.
B. Attach vent components to appliance -

nents are unitized concentric pipe compo-
nents featuring positive twist lock connec-
tions (
see Figure 15 ).
All of the appliances covered in this document
are fitted with collars having locking inclined
channels. The dimpled end of the vent compo-
nents fit over the appliance collar to create the
positive twist lock connection.

necessary. Additional screws may be used at
section joints for added stability. Guide wires
may be attached to the joint for additional
support on multiple joint configurations.

H. Frame roof opening - Identify location for
vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per
Roof Framing Chart and
Figure 19 .
F. Change vent direction to horizontal/in-
clined run - Attransition from or toahorizon-
tal/inclined run, install the SV4.5E45 and
SV4.5E90 elbows in the same manner as the
straight vent sections. The elbows feature a
twist section to allow them to be routed about
the center axis of their initial collar section to
align with the required direction of the next
vent run element. Twist elbow sections in a
clockwise direction only so as to avoid the
possiblity of unlocking any of the previously
connected vent sections. See
Figure 18 .

F. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling -
WhenusingSecureVent,useSV4.5VFfirestop/
spaceratceilingjoists;whenusingSecureFlex,
use SF4.5VF firestop/spacer. If there is living
spaceabovetheceilinglevel,thefirestop/spacer
must be installed on the bottom side of the
ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the
firestop/ spacer must be installed on the top
side of the joist. Route the vent sections
through the framed opening and secure the
firestop/spacerwith8dnailsorotherappropri-
ate fasteners at each corner.

A. Plan the vent run -
Analyzetheventroutinganddeterminethetypes
and quantities of sections required
4-1/2"(114mm),10-1/2"(267mm),22-1/2"(572
mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 46-1/2" (1181 mm)
net section lengths are available. Plan the vent
lengths so that a joint does not occur at the
intersection of ceiling or roof joists. Make allow-
ances for elbows as indicated in
Figure 18 on
page 13 .
Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance to
combustiblesontheverticalsections.Clearances
for the horizontal runs are; 3" (76 mm) on top, 1"
(25mm)on sides, and1"(25 mm)atthe bottom.
B. Frame exterior wall opening -
Locate the center of the vent outlet on the
exterior wall according to the dimensions
shown in Figure 9 on page 8.
Cutand/orframe anopening,10-1/2"x12-1/8"
(267 mm x 308mm) inside dimensions, about
this center.
C.Frameceilingopening-Iftheverticalroute
is to penetrate a ceiling, use plumb line to

or frame an opening, 10-1/2" x 10-1/2" (267
mm x 267 mm) inside dimensions, about this
center (refer to
Figure 14 on page 11 ).
G. Support the vertical run sections -
On the vertical run, support the venting sys-
tem every 8 feet (2.4m) above the fireplace
vent outlet with field provided support straps
(Plumber'stape). Attachthestrapstothevent
pipe and secure to the framing members with
nails or screws. See Figure 17 on page 12.
H.Changeventdirection- Attransitionfrom
or to a horizontal/inclined run, install the
SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbows in the same
manner as the straight vent sections. The
elbows feature a twist section to allow them
to be routed about the center axis of their
initialcollarsectiontoalignwiththerequired
direction of the next vent run element. Twist

so as to avoid the possiblity of unlocking
any of the previously connected vent sec-
tions. See Figure 18 on page 13 .
I.Continueinstallationofhorizontal/inclined
sections- Continuewiththeinstallationofthe
straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined
run as described in Step E. Install support
straps every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/
inclined vent runs using conventional
plumber’s tape. See

Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather
conditions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.
When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the
termination where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow
of cascading water onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the
possibility of cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the
water away from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.
