6) The arrow on the vent cap should

be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2"

clearances to combustible materials

are maintained (Diagram 4). Install the

termination cap.

NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE

grade installations, follow national

or local code requirements.

Below Grade Installation

If the Snorkel Termination must be installed

below grade, i.e. basement application, proper

drainage must be provided to prevent water

from entering the Snorkel Termination. Refer

to Diagram 4. Do not attempt to enclose the

Snorkel within the wall, or any other type of

enclosure.

*Diagrams 3 & 4: As speciﬁ ed in CGA B149

Installation Code. Local codes or regulations

may require different clearances.

UNIT INSTALLATION

WITH HORIZONTAL

TERMINATION

Install the vent system according to the

manufacturer's instructions included with

the components.

1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check

to determine if wall studs or roof rafters

are in the way when the venting system is

attached. If this is the case, you may want

to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in

the gas preferably on the right side of the

unit and the electrical (junction block is on

the left side) on the left.

2) Direct Vent pipe and ﬁ ttings are designed with

special twist-lock connections to connect the

venting system to the appliance ﬂ ue outlet. A

twist-lock appliance adaptor is an available

option that must be used in conjunction

with the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent GS

system.

3) Put a bead of silicone inside the outer section

of the adapter and a bead of Mill Pac on the

inner collar. Slip the adapter over the existing

inner and outer ﬂ ue collar and fasten to the

outer collar only with the 3 supplied screws

(drilling pilot holes will make this easier).

Level the ﬁ replace and fasten it to the framing

using nails or screws through the nailing

strips.

4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe

and elbows to the appliance adaptor and

twist-lock for a solid connection.

Note:

a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,

located on the female ends of pipes and

ﬁ ttings, are designed to slide straight

onto the male ends of adjacent pipes

and ﬁ ttings, by orienting the four pipe

indentations so they match and slide

in to the four entry slots on the male

ends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sections

completely together, then twist-lock

one section clockwise approximately

one-quarter turn, until the two sections

are fully locked. The female locking lugs

will not be visible from the outside, on

the Black Pipe or ﬁ ttings. They may be

located by examining the inside of the

female ends.

Diagram 1

b) Horizontal runs of vent must be

supported every three feet. Wall straps

are available for this purpose.

5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole.

The center of the square hole should line

up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe.

Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole in

the exterior wall where the vent will be

terminated. If the wall being penetrated is

constructed of non-combustible material, i.e.

masonry block or concrete, a 7"(178mm)

dia. (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for ﬂ ex) hole is

acceptable.

Note: Riser Vent

is only for use

in above grade

terminations.

Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner

pipe and high temperature silicone

sealant to outer pipe on every twist-

lock joint.

INSTALLATION

Note:

a) The horizontal run of vent must be

level, or have a 1/4 inch rise for every

1 foot of run towards the termination.

Never allow the vent to run downward.

This could cause high temperatures and

may present the possibility of a ﬁ re.

b) The location of the horizontal vent

termination on an exterior wall must meet

all local and national building codes, and

must not be blocked or obstructed. For

External Vent Terminal Locations, see

diagram in the "Exterior Vent Termination

Locations" section.

c) Snorkel Terminations:

For installations requiring a vertical

rise on the exterior

of the building, 14-

inch and 36-inch tall

Snorkel Terminations

are available,

as well as the

standard Riser

Vent. Follow

t h e s a m e

installation

procedures

as used for

s t a n d a r d

Horizontal

Termination.

NEVER install

the snorkel

upside down.
