12.0 Installing the Flue System:
Ensure all flue components are Simpson Duravent Direct Vent Pro 5” x 8,” or a compatible
equivalent.
Note: Consult Appendix A at the end of this installation manual (section 24.0) to
ensure correct length of flue is calculated.
There are two basic types of Balanced Flue System installations:
• Horizontal Termination
• Vertical Termination
Use the diagrams in sections 12.5, 12.6 & 12.7 to check if your proposed flue system is
acceptable. Section 12.9 will also need to be used to determine whether the flue terminal
location meets the requirements of ANSI Z21.88-2009 Vented Gas Fireplace Fireplaces.
Then use Appendix A to work out the quantities of the flue components that are required.
This gas appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a
separate solid-fuel burning appliance
12.1 Any offsets in your flue configuration should be 45° where possible.
12.2 If your flue configuration has a horizontal run, there must be a minimum 1° inclination (3/4”
vertical rise per 3‟ horizontal run) leading upwards towards the termination.
Do not install the flue with horizontal sections sloping down towards the termination.
This could cause the fireplace to operate incorrectly and possibly create an unsafe
condition.
12.3 The flue must maintain the following
clearances to combustible materials;
1” from all sides and bottom of
the flue, and 2” from the top of
the flue.
12.4 If your flue configuration falls on or near a restriction zone boundary line in diagrams 12.5,
12.6 & 12.7, it may require the restriction value from either side of the boundary line to
achieve the correct flame aesthetic, this may vary from installation to installation.
