Failure to do so could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life. Operation of improperly installed and maintained venting system could result in serious injury, property damage or loss of life. NOTICE WARNING Vent installation Failure to follow these instructions will void the warranty.
6000DV Gas Fireplace Horizontal sections of this vent system require a minimum of 3" clearances to combustibles at the top of the flue and 1" clearance at the sides and bottom until the flue penetrates the outside wall. A minimum 1" clearance all around the flue is acceptable at this point of penetration. WARNING WARNING Vent installation This fireplace must be vented to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
vent installation 6000DV Gas Fireplace WARNING Optional top vent application The appliance is shipped as a rear vent unit. If the installation layout requires the unit to be a top vent configuration the appliance can be converted by following the steps below. When removing and refitting the plates and adapter be sure the associated gaskets are undamaged and refitted as required. 1. Remove the eight (8) screws securing the flue pipe adapter to the fireplace body. Figure 10 2.
6000DV Gas Fireplace installation planning There are two basic types of direct-vent installation: • Horizontal Termination • Vertical Termination It is important to select the proper length of vent pipe for the type of termination you choose. It is also important to note the wall thickness. WARNING Vent installation Never run the vent pipe down. This may cause excessive temperatures which could cause a fire. for horizontal termination Select the amount of vertical rise desired.

Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the outside edge of vent cap. Position the vent cap in the center of hole on the exterior wall with the word “UP” on the vent cap facing up. Insure proper clearance of 1" to combustibles is maintained. Attach the vent cap with four wood screws supplied.
vent installation 6000DV Gas Fireplace Horizontal termination configurations 40 Since it is very important that the venting system maintain its bal- 38 ance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, 36 certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly 34 adhered to. 32 The Vent Graph, showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal 30 side wall venting, will help to determine the various dimensions allowable.
vent installation 6000DV Gas Fireplace horizontal termination configuration (Continued) • If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run, the horizontal 90° vent length is reduced by 36" (914 mm). Figure 24. This does not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical rise. Figure 24 A B Example: According to the vent graph, Figure 21, the maximum horizontal vent length in a system with a 7.
vent installation 6000DV Gas Fireplace Below Grade Installations When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" above grade level, a snorkel kit is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7" (178 mm) below grade level. The 7" (178 mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall. Ensure that sidewall venting clearances are observed.
vent installation 6000DV Gas Fireplace vertical through-the-roof applications This Gas Fireplace has been approved for, • Vertical installations up to 40' (12 m) in height. Up to a 10' (3 m) horizontal vent run can be installed within the vent system using a maximum of two 90° elbows.
vent installation 6000DV Gas Fireplace installation for vertical termination 1. Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joist, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset. Refer to Figure 31 to avoid cutting load bearing members. NOTE: Pay special attention to these installation instructions for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, etc.
vent installation 6000DV Gas Fireplace 4. Connect a section of pipe and extend up through the hole. NOTE: If an offset is needed to avoid obstructions, you must support the vent pipe every three (3) feet. Use wall straps for this purpose. Refer to Page 25, Figure 29. Whenever possible, use 45° elbows instead of 90° elbows. The 45° elbow offers less restriction to the flow of the flue gases and intake air. 5. Place the flashing over the pipe section(s) extending through the roof.
