For Vertical Runs - The vent system must be supported
every eight (8) feet (2.4m) above the fireplace flue outlet by
wall brackets. To install support brackets for vertical runs:
Attach wall brackets to the vent pipe and secure the wall
bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.
Figure 23. Installing Support Brackets
2. Continue Adding Vent Components
Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed-
ing component into place.
Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure-
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component.
90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el-
bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre-
ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2)
sheet metal screws.

3. Install Support Brackets
For Horizontal Runs - The vent system must be supported
every five (5) feet of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe support.
To install support brackets for horizontal runs:
• Place the pipe supports around the vent pipe.
• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.

1. Attach the First Vent Component to the
Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars
of the fireplace:
Lock the vent components into place by sliding the con-
centric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior
beads into the fireplace collar or previously installed com-
ponent end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.
When the internal beads of each outer pipe line up, ro-
tate the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter (1/4)
turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.
Slide the ceramic fiber pad over the first vent section and
place it flush to the fireplace (see Figure 1). This will
prevent cold air infiltration. High temp caulk may be used
to hold the part in place. Continue to add vent compo-
nents.
