This kit uses either Simpson Duravent GS direct vent pipe, Secure Vent
direct vent pipe, Selkirk Direct-temp vent pipe or ICC Exceldirect vent pipe
with a 5” inner pipe and an 8” outer pipe. For part numbers see the table of
venting components on page 10 of this manual. This vent can only be used
as a side wall termination.
1. Attach the vent adaptor directly to the appliance with the three screws and seal outer
pipe with aluminium tape provided. (Fig. #4)
Note: The inner pipe does not need to be sealed.
2. Connect one of the high temperature silicone tubes to the upper pressure tap(marked
“LOW”) on the adaptor.(Fig.#4) Secure with the hose clamp provided and route the tube
through any hole back to the control box. This tube will be connected to the “low” side of
the pressure switch inside the control compartment.(Fig.#17) Connect the second tube to
the lower pressure tap(marked “HIGH”) and route to the control box as before. Connect this
tube to the remaining port on the pressure switch.
Tubes may touch unit and be trimmed if required.
Note: Ensure that there are no blockages in these tubes, as this will cause the
control to malfunction.
3. Locate the power vent termination following the clearance to combustible table(Page 2),
venting conguration diagram (Fig. #1 & 2), and terminal location diagram (Fig. #3).
4. Cut and frame a 14 1/2” wide by 14 3/4” high opening. For standard up and out
installations, the opening should be 3/4” lower than the minimum specied in Fig. #2.
Height of the opening will vary with each installation. See Fig. #5.
5. Attach the power vent terminal, by securing the outer anges on the perimeter of the
terminal to the outside wall; ensure that the terminal is the right way up (exhaust at the
bottom). Once secured to the building, the outer anges may be covered with siding/
stucco/etc. up to the level of the perimeter edge. As per local building codes. See Fig. #6.
6. For wall thicknesses 7 1/2” or less, install the inner wall plate supplied over the terminal
as shown in Fig. #6 and secure to the framing. See Fig. #7.
CAUTION:
The adjustable vent restrictor located
on the underside of the rebox top
must be fully open.
CAUTION:
This terminal is designed to be
nished ush to the nished outside
wall; under no circumstances
should this terminal be recessed
into the wall past this point.

7. For wall thicknesses greater than 8” and up to a maximum of 16 1/2”,
attach the inner wall plate to the wall sleeve assembly, using the four
screws privided (Fig #8). Then slide this assembly over the terminal
with the notch at the top (Fig #9 & Fig. #10).
8. Slide the wall pipe cover, with the small notch oriented at the top,
over the vent pipe and attach pipe to the replace. (Fig #11) Connect
the vent pipe to the vent terminal and then secure the inner wall plate
and wall pipe cover to the framing. This ensures that any insulation is
retained in the wall and that the correct clearances are maintained.
9. Run the required Simpson Duravent GS / Secure Vent / Selkirk
Direct-temp or ICC Exceldirect pipe from the adaptor to the
terminal assembly. Assemble as per the vent pipe manufacturer’s
instructions including all shields and restops.
NOTE: The vent terminal comes pre-painted, but can be painted to
match your wall nish color using high temperature paint that can
withstand temperatures of at least 250 degrees Fahrenheit or 120
degrees Celcius.

The gas control system is located on the right hand side of the
rebox behind an access panel and the decorative panel.
1. Burner assembly, burner media and/or decorative panels
may need to be removed if already installed (see main
installation manual for details).
2. Remove access panel located on the right hand side of the
rebox (Fig. #12).
3. Locate and disconnect the spade connectors in the black
wire loop on the right side of the module and in the orange
wire running from the module to the socket labelled “pilot”
on the valve (Fig. # 13 and 14).
4. Using the jumper wires provided, connect the 120V “hot”
supply wire to one of the black wires from the control module.
Then connect the “hot” wire from the power vent blower to
the other black wire on the control module, (Fig. #15). The
module acts as a switch to turn on the power vent blower.
