CDVX Series Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
20012253
Since it is very important that the vent-
ing system maintain its balance between 
the combustion air intake and the flue 
gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent 
configurations apply and must be strictly 
adhered to.
The vent graph showing the relationship between verti-
cal and horizontal side wall venting will help to deter-
mine the various dimensions allowable.
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and 
combustible materials is one 1” (25 mm) 
on top, bottom and sides unless otherwise 
noted.
When the vent termination exits through foundations 
less than 20” (508 mm) below siding outcrop, the vent 
pipe must flush up with the siding.
It is always best to locate the fireplace in such a way 
that minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal 
vent length. The horizontal vent run refer to the total 
length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace to 
the face of the outer wall.

Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this 
portion of the vent assembly. 
• 
The maximum number of 90° elbows per side wall 
installations is three (3).
• 
If a 90° elbow is fitted directly onto the fireplace  
flange the maximum horizontal vent run before the 
termination or a vertical rise is 36” (914 mm).
• 
If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal vent run 
(level height maintained) the maximum horizontal 
vent length is reduced by 36” (914 mm). This does  
not apply if the 90° elbows are used to increase or 
redirect a vertical rise.
  Example: According to the chart the maximum  
horizontal vent length in a system with a 7.5’ (2.3 m) 
vertical rise  is 20’ (6 m) and if a 90° is required in 
the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17’ (5.2 m).
  In Figure 46, Dimension A plus B must not be 
greater than 17’ (5.2 m).
• 
The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per 
side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be 
installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
• 
For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run, 
the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 
18” (457 mm). This does not apply if the 45° elbows 
are installed on the vertical part of the vent system.
• 
The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system 
is 270°. (Fig. 48)

STEP 1
Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary 
to first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole 
location. Depending on whether the wall is combustible 
or noncombustible, cut opening to size. (Fig. Page 13, 
Fig. 17)
For combustible walls first frame in opening.
Combustible Walls: (Fig. 17) Cut a 9³⁄₈”H x 9³⁄₈”W (240 
x 240 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as 
shown. or 7TCRVT1320 cut a 10³⁄₈”H x 9³⁄₈” W (264 x 
240 mm) hole.
Noncombustible Walls: (Fig. 17) Hole opening must 
be 7¹⁄₂” (190 mm) in diameter.
