Figure 3  
In selecting the location, the aesthetic and  
functional use of the appliance are primary  
concerns. However, vent system routing to the  
exterior and access to the fuel supply are also  
important. Consideration should be given to  
traffic ways, furniture, draperies, etc., due to  
elevated surface temperatures (Figure 2 ).  
*Note: 3 in. (76mm) above any horizontal/  
inclined vent component for the MPLDV30

Determine the venting for the appliance. If the  
vent run will include at least 8 feet of vertical  
rise, then install the second restrictor in the  
appliance collar before connecting any vent  
(RefertoFigure12). Placethesecondrestric-

Vertical (Offset) Installation  
Analyze the vent routing and determine the  
quantities of vent sections and number of  
elbows required. Refer to Vertical Vent Fig-  
ures and Tables on page 14 and 15 to select  
the type of vertical installation desired. Vent  
sections are available in net lengths of 4-1/2"  
(114 mm), 10-1/2" (267 mm), 22-1/2" (572  
mm), 34-1/2" (876 mm) and 46-1/2" (1181  
mm). Refer to the Vent Section Length Chart  
on page 11 for an aid in selecting length  
combinations. Elbows are available in 90° and  
45° configurations. Refer to Figure 18 for the  
SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbow dimensional  
specifications.  
Both these vertical vent systems terminate  
through the roof. The minimum vent height  
above the roof and/or adjacent walls is speci-  
fiedinANSIZ223.1-(latestedition)(InCanada,  
the current CAN-1 B149 installation code) by  
major building codes. Always consult your  
local codes for specific requirements. A gen-  
eral guide to follow is the Gas Vent Rule (refer  
to Figure 4 on page 6 ).

F. Install firestop/spacer at ceiling - When  
usingSecureVent,useSV4.5VFfirestop/spacer  
at ceiling joists; when using Secure Flex, use  
SF4.5VFfirestop/spacer.Ifthereislivingspace  
above the ceiling level, the firestop/spacer  
must be installed on the bottom side of the  
ceiling. If attic space is above the ceiling, the  
firestop/spacer must be installed on the top  
side of the joist.  
Push the vent component against the starter  
elbow until it fully engages, then twist the  
component clockwise, running the dimples  
down and along the incline channels until they  
seat at the end of the channels.  
The unitized design of the Secure Vent com-  
ponents will engage and seal both the inner  
and outer pipe without the need for sealant or  
screws. If desired a #6 x 1/2" screw may be  
used at the joint, but it is not required as the  
pipe will securely lock when twisted.  
Route the vent sections through the framed  
openingandsecurethefirestop/spacerwith8d  
nails or other appropriate fasteners at each  
corner. Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm)  
clearance to combustibles, framing mem-  
bers, and attic or ceiling insulation when  
runningvertical chimneysections. Atticinsu-  
lation shield (96K94) may be used to obtain  
the required clearances indicated here. See  
installation accessories table on page 25.

D. Attach vent components to 45 degree  
starter elbow - Secure Vent SV4.5 direct vent  
system components are unitized concentric  
pipe components featuring positive twist lock  
connections (see Figure 15 ).  
Note: Always use the starter elbow directly  
at the appliance 45° collar unless rigid  
straightpipeofflexpipeisused, asshownin  
Figure 17.  
All of the appliances covered in this document  
are fitted with collars having locking inclined  
channels. The dimpled end of the vent compo-  
nents fit over the appliance collar to create the  
positive twist lock connection.  
E. Attachventcomponentstoeachother-Other  
vent sections may be added to the previously  
installed section in accordance with the require-  
ments of the vertical vent figures and tables. To  
add another vent component to a length of vent  
run, align the dimpled end over the inclined  
channel end of the previously installed section,  
adjusting the radial alignment until the four  
locking dimples are aligned with the inlets of the  
four incline channels of the previous section.  
Push the vent component against the previous  
section until it fully engages, then twist the  
componentclockwiserunningthedimplesdown  
and along the incline channels until they seat at  
the end of the channels.  
G. Support the vertical vent run sections -  
Note - Proper venting support is very impor-  
tant. The weight of the vent must not be  
supported by the fireplace in any degree.  
First Vent  
Component  
Support the vertical portion of the venting  
system every 8 feet (2.4m) above the fireplace  
vent outlet. One method of support is by utiliz-  
ing field provided support straps (conven-  
tional plumber's tape). Secure the plumber's  
tape to the framing members with nails or  
screws.

H. Change vent direction to horizontal/in-  
clined run - At transition from or to a horizon-  
tal/inclined run, install the SV4.5E45 and  
SV4.5E90 elbows in the same manner as the  
straight vent sections. The elbows feature a  
twist section to allow them to be routed about  
the center axis of their initial collar section to  
align with the required direction of the next  
vent run element. Twist elbow sections in a  
clockwise direction only so as to avoid the  
possiblity of unlocking any of the previously  
connected vent sections. See Figure 18.

J. Install the roof flashing - Extend the vent  
sectionsthroughtheroofstructure. Installthe  
roof flashing over the vent section and posi-  
tion such that the vent column rises vertically  
(use carpenters level) (Figure 20 ). Nail along  
perimeter to secure flashing or adjust roofing  
to overlap the flashing edges at top and sides  
only and trim where necessary. Seal the top  
and both sides of the flashing with waterproof  
caulking.  
Figure 18  
I. Continueinstallationofhorizontal/inclined  
sections - Continue with the installation of the  
straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined  
run as described in Step E. Install support  
straps every 5' (1.52 m) along horizontal/  
inclinedventrunsusingconventionalplumbers  
tape. It is very important that the horizontal/  
inclined run be maintained in a straight (no  
dips) and slightly elevated plane in a direc-  
tion away from the fireplace 1/4" per foot (20  
mm per meter) which is ideal, though rise per  
foot run ratios that are smaller are acceptable  
all the way down to at or near level.  
It is important to maintain the required clear-  
ances to combustibles at the top and bottom  
for all horizontal/inclined runs.  
Figure 22  
Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance  
to combustible materials for all vertical  
vent elements.  
Figure 20  
If the vent system extends more than 5' (1.5  
m) above the roof flashing, stabilizers may be  
necessary. Additional screws may be used at  
section joints for added stability. Guide wires  
may be attached to the joint for additional  
support on multiple joint configurations.  
K. Install the storm collar - Install the storm  
collar, supplied with the flashing, over the  
vent/flashing joint. See Figure 21. Loosen  
the storm collar screw. Slide collar down until  
it meets the top of the flashing. Tighten the  
adjustingscrew.Applynon-combustiblecaulk-  
ing or mastic around the circumference of the  
joint to provide a water tight seal.  
Clearancesfor horizontal vent elementsare  
1" (25 mm) at the sides and 1" (25 mm) on  
the bottom. Clearances above horizontal  
vent elementsare3"(76mm) for all models  
and all applications. Exception: Clearance  
is 5" (127 mm) for MPLDV35, MPLDV40 &  
MPLDV45, when the center line of the hori-  
zontal run is less than 48" (1219 mm) above  
the fireplace top wrapper surface.

the four incline channels on the collar (refer to  
Figure 15 on page 12).  
Fireplace  
Figure 26  
If there is living space above the ceiling level,  
the firestop/ spacer must be installed on the  
bottom side of the ceiling. If attic space is  
above the ceiling, the firestop/ spacer must be  
installed on the top side of the joist. Route the  
vent sections through the framed opening and  
secure the firestop/spacer with 8d nails or  
other appropriate fasteners at each corner.  
Install support straps every 5 ft. (1.52 m)  
along horizontal/inclined vent runs using con-  
ventional plumbers tape. See Figure 26, it is  
very important that the horizontal/inclined  
run be maintained in a straight (no dips) and  
recommended to be in a slightly elevated  
plane, in a direction away from the fireplace  
of 1/4" rise per foot (20 mm per meter) which  
is ideal, though rise per foot run ratios that are  
smallerareacceptableallthewaydowntoator

of the channels. The unitized design of the  
SecureVent componentswill engageandseal  
both the inner and outer pipe elements with  
the same procedure. Sealant and securing  
screws are not required.  
Remember to maintain 1" (25 mm) clearance  
tocombustibles, framingmembers, andattic  
or ceiling insulation when running vertical  
chimney sections.  
Note: A 90 or 45 degree elbow may not be  
directly attached to the appliance elbow  
collar.  
It is important to maintain the required clear-  
ances to combustibles at the top and bottom  
for all horizontal/inclined runs.  
I. Support the vertical run sections -  
On the vertical run, support the venting sys-  
tem every 8 feet (2.4m) above the fireplace  
vent outlet with field provided support straps  
(Plumber's tape).  
G. Attach vent components to each other -  
Other vent sections may be added to the pre-  
viously installed section in accordance with  
the requirements of the vent tables.  
Maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance  
to combustible materials for all vertical  
vent elements.  
Attachthestrapstotheventpipeandsecureto  
the framing members with nails or screws.  
See Figure 17 on page 12.  
To add another vent component to a length of  
vent run, align the dimpled end of the compo-  
nent over the inclined channel end of the  
previously installed section, adjusting the ra-  
dial alignment until the four locking dimples  
are aligned with the inlets of the four incline  
channels of the previous section.  
Clearancesfor horizontal vent elementsare  
1" (25 mm) at the sides and 1" (25 mm) on  
the bottom. Clearances above horizontal  
vent elementsare3"(76mm) for all models  
and all applications. Exception: Clearance  
is 5" (127 mm) for MPLDV35, MPLDV40 &  
MPLDV45, when the center line of the hori-  
zontal run is less than 48" (1219 mm) above  
the fireplace top wrapper surface.  
J. Change vent direction - At transition from  
or to a horizontal/inclined run, install the  
SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90 elbows in the same  
manner as the straight vent sections. The  
elbows feature a twist section to allow them  
to be routed about the center axis of their  
initial collar section to align with the required  
direction of the next vent run element. Twist  
elbowsectionsinaclockwisedirectiononly  
so as to avoid the possiblity of unlocking  
any of the previously connected vent sec-  
tions. See Figure 18 on page 13.  
Pushtheventcomponentagainsttheprevious

component clockwise running the dimples  
down and along the incline channels until they  
seat at the end of the channels.This seating  
position is indicated by the alignment of the  
arrow and dimple as shown in Figure 16 on  
page 12.  
L. Assemble vent run to exterior wall - If not  
previously measured, locate the center of the  
vent at the exterior wall. Prepare an opening  
as described in Step D. Assemble the vent  
system to point where the terminus of the last  
section is within 7 in. (178 mm) to 11-1/4 in.

Horizontal terminations have been designed to perform in a wide range of weather  
conditions. Our terminations meet or exceed industry standards.  
IMPORTANT: The vent termination is  
hotwhileinoperationandforaperiodof  
time following use of the fireplace. To  
prevent contact with hot surfaces, we  
recommend the use of a Termination  
Guard. This can be purchased at your  
local dealer.  
When selecting the locations of your horizontal terminations, do not place the  
termination where water from eaves and adjoining rooflines may create a heavy flow  
of cascading water onto the termination cap. If the cap must be placed where the  
possibility of cascading water exists, it is the responsibility of the builder to direct the  
water away from the termination cap by using gutters or other means.  
Take care to carefully follow the installation instructions for the termination, including  
the use of silicone caulking where required.

Note: SV4.5VF (Secure Vent), SF4.5VF (Secure Flex) firestop/spacer  
must be used anytime vent pipe passes through a combustible floor or  
ceiling. Lennox MPLDV35"/40" & 45" models require 5" clearances to  
combustibles above horizontal vent runs when the centerline of the  
horizontal vent run is at or below 48" (1219 mm) above the fireplace top  
wrapper. In all other instances, with these three models and with the  
MPLDV30 in all instances, the clearance to combustibles above horizon-  
tal vent runs is 3". Please note that to facilitate the 5" clearance when  
required, we have two 5" clearance firestops. The SV4.5HF5 is for use  
with rigid (Secure Vent) and the SF4.5HF5 is for use with (Secure  
Flex). These firestops should be used whenever horizontal vent runs

These appliances come from the factory with  
the gas line access plate removed to provide  
full access to the end of the gas flex line.  
Secure all joints tightly using appropriate  
tools and sealing compounds (ensure pro-  
pane resistant compounds are used in pro-  
pane applications).  
As designed, the glass door needs to be  
opened to access the open gas access area.  
Route a hard pipe from the left to a spot  
directly below the access plate opening.  
Theseappliancesareequippedwithagasflex  
line for use in connecting the unit to the gas  
line. A gas flex line is provided to aid in  
attaching the direct vent appliance to the gas  
supply.  
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks,  
using a gas leak test solution (also referred to  
as bubble leak solution).  
Note: Usingasoapywater solution(50%dish  
soap, 50% water) is an effective leak test  
solution but it is not recommended, because  
the soap residue that is left on the pipes/  
fittingscanresultincorrosionovertime. Never  
use an open flame to check for leaks.  
Bring the shutoff valve on the end of the flex  
line over to the hard pipe and tighten with  
wrenches from above through the firebox  
opening.  
The gas flex line can only be used where local  
codes permit. See Figure 38 for flex line  
description. The flex line is rated for both  
natural and propane gas. A manual shut off  
valve is also provided with the flex line.  
If required, access the valve by removing the  
lower control compartment panel (see Figure  
39 ) by lifting and pulling the panel forward.  
The millivolt and electronic control valve has a  
3/8" (10 mm) NPT thread inlet port.  
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting  
instructions label in the control compartment  
or in the Homeowner's Care and Operation  
Instructions).  
The gas control valve is located in the lower  
control compartment.  
B. Brush all joints and connections with the

Step 6. INSTALLING THE LOGS, GLOW-  
ING EMBERS AND VOLCANIC STONES  
Step 8. INSTALLING THE GLASS DOOR  
AND OPTIONAL HOOD  
The pilot flame should be steady, not lifting or  
floating. Flame should be blue in color with  
traces of orange at the outer edge.  
Remove the gas line access plate and gasket  
from the provided plastic bag and install them  
over the opening, using the provided screws  
(4) as shown in Figure 39.  
To access the glass door securing latches,  
first open the lower control compartment  
door (Figure 42 ) by lifting and pulling the  
bottom panel forward.  
The top 3/8" (10 mm) at the pilot generator  
(thermopile) and the top 1/8" min (tip) of the  
quick drop out thermocouple should be en-  
gulfed in the pilot flame.  
Retrieve the glass door. Visually inspect the  
gasket on the backside of the frame. Gasket  
surface must be clean, free of irregularities and  
seated firmly.  
Refer to Figure 43 and loosen the set screw  
for the venturi air shutter. Manually actuate  
the air shutter through several cycles. Set the  
air shutter to 3/32" before placing the logs.  
The flame should project 1" (25 mm) beyond  
the hood at all three ports (Figure 40 ). Re-  
place logs if removed for pilot inspection.  
Positionthedoorinfrontofthefireboxopening  
with the bottom of the door held away from the  
fireplace (Figure 42 ). Hook the top flange of  
thedoorframeoverthetopofthefireboxframe.  
Let the bottom of the door frame swing gently  
in towards the fireplace ensuring that the gas-  
ket seats evenly as the door frame draws shut.  
Fasten the two latches located underneath the  
firebox floor to the door's vee-flange. Close  
both the latches securely.  
The logs are packaged in a carton located  
within the firebox. One plastic bag of glowing  
embers and volcanic stones are located in the  
bottom compartment. Refer to the Log Set  
Placement Supplement for detailed place-  
ment instructions for the logs, glowing em-  
bers and volcanic stones.  
To light the burner; turn ONthe remote wall  
switch and rotate the gas valve control knob  
counterclockwise to the ONposition (ON”  
will be at the bottom side of the valve).

MILLIVOLT  
Proper log and twig placement is critical to  
encourage outstanding flame appearance and  
prevent sooting. These fires are designed to  
provide a rich orange/red glow on the logs.  
Ensure the bottom of the rear log is fully seated  
and pulled as far forward as the pins will al-  
low. Refer to the Log Set Placement  
Supplement for detailed instructions.  
Thermocouple  
If desired, install the optional hood. Note the  
location of the three clips inside the top air  
channel above the door. The clips are equally  
spaced on the top surface of the air channel  
opening. Use a screwdriver to open the clips  
slightly if needed. Engage the back edge of the  
eyebrow into the clips to secure.

When first lighting the appliance, it will take  
a few minutes for the line to purge itself of  
air. Once purging is complete, the pilot and  
burner will light and operate as indicated in  
the instruction manual. Subsequent lighting  
of the appliance will not require such purg-  
ing. Inspect the pilot flame (remove logs, if  
necessary, handling carefully).

Propane models may exhibit a flame pattern  
that may candle or appear stringy. If this is  
problematic or persists as the appliance is  
continually operated, adjust the air shutter

does not develop sooty flames.  
To adjust the flame, rotate the lever arm up or  
down (rod located in the lower control area).  
Position the air shutter to the factory setting as  
shown in the table in Figure 43. Allow the  
burner to operate for at least 20 minutes.  
Step 9. BURNER ADJUSTMENTS  
Flame Appearance and sooting  
Proper flame appearance is a matter of taste.  
Generally, mostpeoplepreferthewarmglowof  
a yellow to orange flame. Appliances operated  
with air shutter openings that are too large will  
exhibit flames that are blue and transparent.  
These weak, blue and transparent flames are  
termed anemic. If the air shutter opening is too  
small sooting may develop.

Sooting is indicated by black puffs developing  
at the tips of very long orange flames. Sooting  
results in black deposits forming on the logs,  
appliance inside surfaces and on exterior sur-  
facesadjacent tothevent termination. Sooting  
is caused by incomplete combustion in the  
flames and lack of combustion air entering the  
air shutter opening. To achieve a warm yellow  
to orange flame with an orange body that does  
notsoot, theshutteropeningmustbeadjusted  
between these two extremes.

Note: Combustible wall finish materials and/or surround materials must not be allowed to be placed in direct contact with the area defined  
by the appliance front face (black sheet metal). Never allow combustible materials to overlap the appliance front face. See Figure 44  
on page 25. Combustible mantle materials may be placed in front of non-combustible facing materials, as shown in Figure 45.  
Non-combustible materials, such as surrounds and other appliance trim, may be installed on the appliance front face with these exceptions: they must  
not cover any portion of the glass or hood; they may cover any portion of the top radiant panel or the air gaps surrounding the top radiant panel up  
to the installed hood.  
Vertical installation clearances to combustible mantels vary according to the depth of the mantel. See Figure 45. Mantels constructed of non-  
combustible materials may be installed at any height above the appliance opening; however, do not allow anything to hang below the hood.  
Combustible materials may project beyond the  
sides of the fireplace opening as long as they  
are kept within the shaded areas illustrated in

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION  
For cold climate installations, seal all cracks around your appliance with noncombustible material and wherever cold air could enter the room. It is  
especially important to insulate outside chase cavity between studs and under floor on which appliance rests, if floor is above ground level. Gas line  
holesandotheropeningsshouldbecaulkedorstuffedwithunfacedfiberglassinsulation. Incoldclimates,ifthefireplaceisbeinginstalledonacement  
slab, a sheet of plywood or other raised platform can be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room. It also helps to sheetrock  
inside surfaces and tape for maximum air tightness and caulk firestops.
