VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
Connections Betwen Components
Simpson Dura-Vent GS system 6 5/8” venting is the
only approved system for use with your Fireside
Franklin gas fireplace. These venting systems have
an interconnection locking system built into each
vent piece allowing a safe and secure connection
without need for additional hardware or tools. It is
critical to the effective heating, proper flame pattern
and your safety to ensure that each connection is
completely secure. This is accomplished by assem-
bling the venting with the female end toward the
stove, pushing them together and twisting the piece
to be connected in a clockwise direction 1/8 of a turn
until it comes to a positive stop in the locked posi-
tion. During the initial connection, you’ll need to
ensure that the inner pipes are overlapping, as this
cannot be checked from the outside of assembled sec-
tions.
Horizontal termination caps must be positioned 12-18 inches above
grade, and 12-18 inches away from windows, decks, soffits, and non-
mechanical air supplies.
Service regulators and vents should be located away from vegetation,
driveways, sidewalks, and other high traffic areas.
u A minimum of 6 feet must be main-
tained from:
; Service regulator vent outlet
(BELOW LEFT “K”)
; Mechanical air supply (BELOW
LEFT “L”)
u A minimum of 7 feet must be main-
tained above:
; A paved driveway or sidewalk on
public property (BELOW
LEFT “M”)
Venting may NEVER terminate above a
sidewalk or driveway that is between
two single-family dwellings and services
both.
