C. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical box-like structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. In cooler climates
the vent should be enclosed inside the chase.
NOTICE: Treatment of ceiling firestops and wall shield
firestops and construction of the chase may vary with the
type of building. These instructions are not substitutes
for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore,
you MUST check local building codes to determine the
requirements to these steps.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out-
side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-
lems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped (or an equivalent method may be
used) to achieve maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fire-
stops should be caulked with caulk with a minimum of
300 ºF continuous exposure rating to seal gaps. Gas
line holes and other openings should be caulked with
caulk with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating
or stuffed with unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being
installed on a cement surface, a layer of plywood may be
placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the
room.
NOTICE: Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth. DO NOT install directly
on carpeting, vinyl, tile or any combustible material other
than wood.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Maintain specified air space
clearances to appliance and vent pipe:
• Insulation and other materials must be secured to prevent
accidental contact.
• The chase must be properly blocked to prevent blown
insulation or other combustibles from entering and
making contact with fireplace or chimney.
• Failure to maintain airspace may cause overheating and
a fire.

D. Use of Elbows
Diagonal runs have both vertical and horizontal vent as-
pects when calculating the effects. Use the rise for the
vertical aspect and the run for the horizontal aspect. See
Figure 4.4.
Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow.
On 45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 in. (216
mm) horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) vertical run. A
length of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º elbows.

E. Measuring Standards
Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent
diagrams were made using the following standards:
• Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length
of pipe. See Section 12.A for information on effective
length of pipe components.
• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside
mounting surface (flange of termination cap) (see Figure
4.6).
• Vertical terminations are measured to top of last section
of pipe. See Figure 4.7.
• Horizontal pipe installed level with no rise.
MEASURE TO SHADED SURFACE
(OUTSIDE MOUNTING SURFACE)
Figure 4.6 Measure to Outside Mounting Surface
Figure 4.7. Measure to Top of Last Section of Pipe
F. Use of Flex Vent (SLP-FLEX Series 6-5/8
Inch)
The flex vent must be supported with the spacing between
support intervals not exceeding 4 feet, with no more than
1/2 inch sag between supports.
A support is required at each change in venting direction,
and in any location where it is necessary to maintain the
necessary clearance to combustibles. A simple “up and
out” installation (Figure 4.8) requires only enough support
to maintain the necessary clearance to combustibles.
However, the vent attachment point and the firestop loca-
tion are considered to be supports.

Note: Be sure to reinstall the inner heat shield
after exhaust restrictor installation.
Exhaust restrictor Instructions
Exhaust restrictors are recommended for these verti-
cally terminated products which have excessive draft.
Exhaust restrictors will compensate for high draft, and
restore visual flame height. If the vent configuration has
a total vertical of 15-60 feet, an exhaust restrictor may
be needed. The exhaust restrictor can be located in the
appliance manual bag.
Note: Remove top refractory piece, if installed.
1. Install the exhaust restrictor over the center of the ex-
haust outlet in the firebox (see Figure 4.14).
2. Center the exhaust restrictor in the open end of the
exhaust outlet and secure through the slots on the ex-
haust restrictor with the two 1/4 in. self tapping screws
provided in the appliance manual bag.
3. Reinstall top refractory.
Note: If installing a vertical vent/termination off the top of
the appliance, the optional vertical termination baffle may
be needed.
