The vent chart should be read in conjunction with the 
following vent installation instructions to determine the 
relationship of the vertical and horizontal dimensions of 
the vent system.
1.  Determine the height of the center of the horizontal 
vent pipe exiting through the outer wall.  Using this 
dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph (Fig. 14) 
locate the point intersecting with slanted graph line. 
2.  From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical 
line to the bottom of the graph.
3.  Select the indicated dimension, and position the 
fireplace in accordance with same. 
  Example A:
  If the vertical dimension from the floor of the    
fireplace is 11’ (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face  
of the outer wall must not exceed 14’ (4.3 m).
  Example B:
  If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is  
7’ (2.14 m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer  
wall must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6 m).

Twist Lock Pipes
When using MHSC twist-lock pipe, it is not necessary to
MHSC twist-lock pipe, it is not necessary to
 twist-lock pipe, it is not necessary to 
use sealant on the joints. The only areas of the venting 
system that need to be sealed with high temperature 
silicone sealant are the sliding joint of any telescopic 
vent section used in the system.
To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the 
beads of the male end with the grooves of the female 
end, then while bringing the pipe together, twist the pipe 
until the flange on the female end contacts the external 
flange on the male end. It is recommended that you 
secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws, 
however this is not mandatory with twist lock pipe.
To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest 
putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end 
of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.
