MLDV Series Gas Fireplace FLEx VENT INSTALLATION
1. Always maintain the required clearance when routing the flex vent assembly.

4. Horizontal runs of flexible vent shall be supported at maximum foot intervals; vertical runs,
five feet intervals. Metal strapping, properly secured, is an acceptable means to support
the flexible vent.

is required to connect the flexible vent assembly to the vertical termination by using three
self-penetrating screws.
. Review Figure 39 and corresponding instructions for proper overlap, clamp and screw
placement.
3. Three each self-penetrating screws are drilled opposite one another and below the gear
clamp.
