Before You Start:
Plan your installation. Read these instructions and the fireplace installation manual before installing unit and vent system. Set unit in place
and survey how best to vent the unit. After the vent configuration has been decided, stretch the flex pipe components out, then trim off
what will not be needed.
Refer to the fireplace installation manual for information on vertical venting requirements. The maximum length of vent when using flex
venting is 35 feet total. Contact your dealer or distributor for information on flex vent extension kits that may be added to the DVVK-4FV
kit, in order to terminate up to 35 feet. Available extension kits include the DVEK-10 (10’ Flex) or the DVEK-25 (25’ Flex) extension kits.
The extension kits include connection hardware.
Installation of the Vertical Flex Termination Kit
WARNING
Ensure that the venting system exits the structure through the roof and does not terminate less than 12 inches (305mm) above the
roof.
WARNING
Refer to your fireplace homeowner’s manual for the minimum and maximum venting requirement of your fireplace prior to installation.
Failure to do so may cause a fire hazard.
WARNING
This flexible pipe termination kit is ONLY for vertical terminations.
WARNING
Any horizontal run section must have a 1/4” rise for every one (1) foot of run towards the vent termination. Never allow the vent pipe to
run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard. This vertical kit may incorporate two (2) 90 degree
bends, but must terminate vertically.
CAUTION
This flex vent kit can only be installed vertically off of the unit and must terminate vertically.
WARNING
Because of sharp edges, always use gloves when handling the flex vent components.
CAUTION
Vent connections should overlap a minimum of 1” for proper sealing.
CAUTION
Always stretch and secure venting with metal strapping secured with nails (nails and strapping not supplied) to ensure that the flex vent
runs remain true.
