1. Determine the route your horizontal venting will take.
The location of the horizontal vent termination on
the exterior wall must meet all local and national building
codes.
Snorkel terminations are available for terminations requir-
ing a vertical rise on the exterior of the building. Figures
8 and 9. Follow the same installation procedures used for
standard horizontal terminations. If installing the snorkel
termination below grade (basement applications), you must
provide proper drainage to prevent water from entering the
snorkel termination. Figure 9. Do not back fill around the
snorkel termination.

2. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have special twist-lock
connections. Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor with pipe seams
oriented towards the wall or floor.
The female ends of the pipes
and fittings have three locking lugs (indentations).
These lugs will slide straight into matching slots on
the male end of adjacent pipes and fittings. Push the
pipe sections together and twist one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn until the sections are
fully locked. Figure 10

Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every
three (3) feet (914 mm). Use wall straps for this purpose.
3. Attach vent pipe assembly to the stove. Set stove in
front of its permanent location to insure minimum clear-
ances. Mark the wall for a 9Z\x" (241 mm) square hole
(for noncombustible material such as masonry block or
concrete, a 7Z\x" [190 mm] diameter hole is acceptable).
Figure 11. The center of the hole should line up with
the center line of the horizontal rigid vent pipe end. Be
sure to allow for minimum rise. Cut a 9Z\x"x9Z\x" (241
X 241 mm) square hole through combustible exterior
wall (7Z\x" [190 mm] diameter hole if noncombustible).
Frame as necessary. Figure 11
