tion E.
B. Penetrating a Wall
A. Clearances for the Vent Sections
Wherever a combustible wall is penetrated, the hole must
be framed with an interior wall shield (DVP-WS) as shown in
Figures 2.3-2.4. This shield maintains minimum clearances
and restricts cold air infiltration. If the wall being penetrated is
of noncombustible materials (material which will not ignite or
burn, or has a UL fire rating of zero), a 9 in. diameter hole is
acceptable. Whenever a wall is penetrated the wall shield is only
required on one side and no heat shield is necessary. If your
local inspector requires the wall shield on both sides, then both
wall shields must have a heat shield attached to them.
•
Top Vented Direct Vent Appliances
For all top vented, direct vent appliances, clearances to
combustible materials from the venting system need to
be maintained as shown in Figure 2.1.
•
Rear Vented Direct Vent Appliances
See Figure 2.2.
Note: Refer to the appliance installation instructions for al-
lowed vent lengths and configurations.

Attaching Vent to the Firebox Assembly
To attach the first pipe section to the collars, slide the male
end of the inner vent of the pipe section over the inner collar
on the firebox assembly. At the same time, slide the outer
flue over the outer collar on the appliance. Push the pipe
section into the appliance collar until all the lances (see Fig-
ure 2.5) have snapped in place. Tug slightly on the section
to confirm it has completely locked into place.

Assemble Pipe Sections
Insert the inner flue of section A into the flared inner flue of
section B.

Start the outer flue of section A over the outer flue of section
B (see Figure 2.6).
B
Note: The end of the pipe sections with the lances/tabs on
it will face towards the appliance.
Figure 2.7 Snapped
Figure 2.6 Inner/Outer
Once both inner and outer flues are started, press section
A onto section B firmly until all lances have snapped into
place. Check to make sure they have snapped together (see
Figure 2.7) and the seams are not aligned (see Figure 2.8).
Tug slightly on section A to confirm it has completely locked
into place.
Make sure the seams are not aligned to prevent unintentional
disconnection.
For 90° and 45° elbows that are changing the vent direction
from horizontal to vertical, one screw minimum should be
put in the outer flue at the horizontal elbow joint to prevent
the elbow from rotating.

Assemble Minimum Installation (MI) Sections
MI sections are non-unitized so that they can be cut to a
specific length. Cut these sections to length from the non-
expanded end (see Figure 2.9).
They can then be attached by first connecting the expanded
end of the MI inner flue with the inner pipe from the adjacent
pipe section and securing with three screws. The expanded
portion of the MI inner flue must overlap completely with the
unexpanded end of the adjacent pipe section.
The outer flue can then be inserted into the adjacent outer
flue expanded end and attached to the next pipe section with
three screws. The other end of the MI pipe section can then
be attached by fitting another pipe section to it and snapping
it together, as normal.
Figure 2.9 MI Sections
Assemble Slip Sections
The outer flue of the slip section should slide over the outer
flue of the pipe section and into (inner flue) the last pipe sec-
tion (see Figure 2.10) .
Slide together to the desired length, making sure that a
1-1/2 in. outer flue overlap is maintained between the pipe
section and slip section.
The pipe and slip section need to be secured by driving two
screws through the overlapping portions of the outer flues
using the pilot holes (see Figure 2.11).
Figure 2.10 Slip Section Pilot Holes
This will secure the slip section to the desired length and
prevent it from separating. The slip section can then be at-
tached to the next pipe section.
If the slip section is too long, the inner and outer flues of the
slip section can be cut to the desired length.

Secure the Vent Sections
Vertical sections of pipe must be supported every 8 ft after
the 25 ft maximum unsupported rise. The vent support or
plumber’s strap (spaced 120° apart) may be used to do this
(see Figures 2.12 and 2.13).
Horizontal sections of vent must be supported every 5 ft with
a vent support or plumber’s strap.
D. Disassemble Vent Sections
To disassemble any two pieces of pipe, rotate either section
(see Figure 2.14), so that the seams on both pipe sections
are aligned (see Figure 2.15). They can then be carefully
pulled apart.
