For best and safe venting performance, here are some general venting rules:
 Use only Archgard or Simpson Dura-Vent direct vent systems and components.
 Maintain a minimum of 1” (25mm) clearance to combustibles from the outside
surfaces of vertical vents and minimum of 1” (25mm) sides and bottom, and 2” (50mm)
from top surfaces of horizontal vents.
 Observe local code restrictions, if any, regarding the installation of this type of gas appliance.
 Observe the venting charts given in this manual.
 Use vent spacers between the inside 4” (101mm) and outside 7” (178mm) vents at 3 ft
(915mm) intervals (Archgard Direct Vent System ONLY).
 Never slope horizontal vents downwards towards the vent termination.
 Maintain a minimum ¼” rise (6mm) for every linear foot (305mm) of horizontal vent.
 Terminate (Horizontally) the vent only with an approved vent termination supplied by
Archgard Industries (Part # 999-DV-HTC) or Simpson Dura-Vent Termination Cap.
 Terminate (Vertically) the vent only with Simpson Dura-Vent Vertical Termination Cap.
 Support horizontal vents every 3 ft (915mm) to prevent sagging.
