VENTING INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Read these  instruc-
-
These  models  are  tested  and  approved  for 
use with DESA/Vexar (direct-vent) pipe com-
ponents and terminations.
The  venting  system  must  terminate  on  the 
outside  of  the  structure  and  can  not  be  at-
tached to a chimney or ue system serving a 
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. 
A  direct-vent  appliance  must  have  its  own 
venting system. DO NOT common vent this 
appliance.
This model is approved to  be vented either 
horizontally through an outside wall or verti-
cally through a roof or chase enclosure using 
the following:
•  When venting system terminates horizon-
tally  on  an  outside  wall,  you  may  install 
a  standoff if  the  termination  cap  is  to  be 
installed  directly  on  a  combustible  nish 
such as vinyl, wood, stucco, etc.
•  Never run the vent downward as this may 
cause excessive temperatures which could 
cause a re.
•  Vent  pipe  air  space  clearances  to  com-
bustibles are 1" on all sides except on the 
horizontal sections, which requires 2" clear-
ance from the top of the pipe. Where the 
termination cap penetrates a combustible 
wall, 1" air space clearance is required.
•  Have replace and selected vent compo-
nents on hand to help determine the exact 
measurements when elbowing or offsetting. 
Always use wall restops when penetrating 
walls, ceilings or attic spaces.
•  Install horizontal venting with a 1/4" rise for 
every 12" of run toward the termination.
 WARNING: Read all instruc-
  
Failure to do so could result in 
IMPORTANT: Do  not seal vent cap to pipe.
