AND OPERATIONMANUALSPROVIDEDWITHTHEAPPLIANCE

APPLY TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

The SECURE VENT®conversion kits are made to convert the

SECURE VENT standard 4-inch pipes to your existing prefab-

ricated metal chimney or masonry chimney.

The prefabricated metal chimney kits are available in three

sizes to ﬁt most of the existing diameters. The minimum

inside diameter is 6”, while the maximum outer diameter is

12”. The venting system starts at the Direct-Vent gas ap-

pliance using SECURE VENT 4-inch black pipes. Then the

prefabricated metal chimney is used as the outer casing of

the venting system and the inner pipe is replaced by a 4-inch

ﬂexible pipe through the metal chimney. The venting system

ends on the roof using SECURE VENT galvalume 4-inch pipe

and vertical termination cap. Two adaptors are included in the

kit to make the bond between the SECURE VENT pipe and the

prefabricated metal chimney.

The masonry chimney kit is available in one size that ﬁts most

masonry chimneys. The procedure is basically the same as

for the prefabricated metal chimney kit. The venting system

starts at the Direct-Vent gas applia nce with SECURE VENT

4-inch black pipes. Then using the masonry chimney as the

outer casing and a 4-inch ﬂexible pipe as the ﬂue outlet, the

venting system ends on the top of the chimney with a ﬂashing

and a vertical termination cap. Two adaptors are included in

this kit to make the bond between the SECURE VENT pipe and

the masonry chimney.

The two venting systems, prefabricated metal chimney and

masonry chimney, need to be sealed so the ﬂow of air intake

depends only on the vertical termination cap. This will ensure

a performance very similar to a standard vertical installation

with 4-inch SECURE VENT pipes.

The gas appliance must be located according to the clearances

to the wall indicated in the manufacturer’s instruction manual.

Once the location of the appliance has been determined,

you will have to select the venting components required to

complete the installation. Refer to the appliance installation

manual for permissible vent conﬁguration.

PREFABRICATED METAL CHIMNEY KITS

INSTALLATION

NOTE:Theprefabricatedmetalchimneyueopeningneeds

to have an inside diameter of at least 6” to ensure proper

air intake.

1. Remove the prefabricated metal chimney termination cap

and sweep the chimney.

2. Measure the total length of your prefabricated chimney.

Add three inches to this length in order to obtain the overall

length of ﬂexible pipe needed. The ﬂexible pipe must be

fully stretched before cutting.

3. Using a tightening collar, join the ﬂexible pipe to the cap

adaptor. Push the ﬂexible pipe down to the stopper. Re-

align the tightening collar in the center of the stopper and

the end of the inner pipe of the cap adaptor. Seal the end

of the ﬂexible pipe using the high temperature sealant

MILL-PAC.

4. Using a tightening collar, tie a 20 foot rope to the end of

the ﬂexible pipe. First insert the rope into the prefabricated

metal chimney and then follow with the ﬂexible pipe.

5. Apply a silicone sealant on top of the prefabricated metal

chimney. Then attach the cap adaptor to the prefabricated

metal chimney using metal screws.

6. Install the vertical termination cap on the cap adaptor. The

termination cap height must be in accordance with Table

1. If necessary, add a galvalume vent length to reach the

minimum height.

7. Using the rope, pull the ﬂexible pipe inside the room. Then,

with a tightening collar join the ﬂexible pipe to the ﬂex black

adaptor. Seal the end of the ﬂexible pipe using the high

temperature sealant MILL-PAC.

8. Using four black metal screws, attach the ﬂex black adaptor

to the prefabricated chimney support. Align the adaptor

with the center of the prefabricated chimney. No air should

pass between the adaptor and the support. If necessary,

seal the joint with a silicone sealant.

9. Using a plumb line, align the ﬂue of the appliance with

the ﬂex adaptor. Insert the ﬁrst black vent length on the

appliance outlet and secure it with two black screws. If

the appliance outlet does not ﬁt the SECURE VENT twist

lock system, seal the inner and outer pipes with a high

temperature sealant such as MILL-PAC. Do not use a

silicone sealant. A minimum of 1-1/2” overlap is required.

10.Install black vent lengths until you reach the ﬂex adaptor.

Slide the last vent length into the ﬂex adaptor and attach it

on the preceding vent length. A minimum of 1-1/2” overlap

is required. Using 3 black metal screws, secure the last

vent length to the ﬂex adaptor. The ﬂex adaptor joint at the

inner pipe must be sealed with high temperature sealant

such as MILL-PAC, the joint at the outer pipe can be sealed

with a silicone sealant.

area of at least 35 square-inches to ensure proper air intake.

1. The chimney must be clean and in good working order and

constructed of non-combustible materials. Also, make sure

that the masonry chimney walls are air-tight.

2. Insert the ﬁrst vent length on the appliance outlet and se-

cure with two screws. If the appliance outlet does not ﬁt

the SECURE VENT®twist lock system, seal the inner and

outer pipes with a high temperature sealant such as MILL-

PAC. Do not use a silicone sealant. A minimum of 1-1/2”

overlap is required. Install the remaining vent lengths.

3. Drill a hole of 6-1/2” minimum (7” maximum) in the ma-

sonry chimney (and the concrete) aligned with the center

of the horizontal vent. If there is a ﬁnishing wall before

the concrete, cut and frame a hole of 10-3/8” x 10-3/8”

(see Figure 5). A horizontal vent run should be level; the

maximum rise allowed is 1/4” per linear foot.

4. Determine the length of ﬂexible pipe needed by adding the

following distances: from the hole previously drilled to the

chimney top, from the inner face of the concrete to the

chimney center and ﬁnally add 5”. The ﬂexible pipe must

be fully stretched before cutting.

5. Put the masonry cover on the chimney top. If the cover is

larger than the chimney, cut the four corners of the cover

then fold them on the chimney wall. Apply a silicone

sealant between the cover and the chimney top. Drill four

holes through the masonry cover and into the chimney top.

Insert screw anchor in the masonry chimney, then fasten

the cover with screws.

6. Using a tightening collar, join the ﬂexible pipe to the cap

adaptor. Push the ﬂexible pipe down to the stopper. Re-

align the tightening collar in the center of the stopper and

the end of the inner pipe of the cap adaptor. Seal the end

of the ﬂexible pipe using the high temperature sealant

MILL-PAC.

7. Using a tightening collar, tie a 20 foot rope to the end of

the ﬂexible pipe. First insert the rope into the masonry

chimney and then the ﬂexible pipe.

8. Put the cap adaptor over the hole of the masonry cover.

Fasten the cap adaptor to the masonry cover using three

metal screws. Seal the joint with a silicone sealant. Install

the vertical termination cap on the cap adaptor.

9. Using the rope, pull the ﬂexible pipe inside the room. Then,

with a tightening collar join the ﬂexible pipe to the ﬂex black

adaptor. Seal the end of the ﬂexible pipe using the high

temperature sealant MILL-PAC.

10.Using four masonry screws, attach the ﬂex black adaptor

to the masonry chimney. Align the adaptor with the hole.

Seal the joint with a silicone sealant. If there is a ﬁnishing

wall before the concrete, slide the decorative plate over the

ﬂex black adaptor and fasten it to the wall using four black

screws.

11.Move the appliance to the intended location and slide the

last vent length into the ﬂex adaptor. A minimum of 1-1/2”

overlap is required. Using 3 black metal screws, secure

the last vent length to the ﬂex adaptor. The ﬂex adaptor

joint at the inner pipe must be sealed with high temperature

sealant such as MILL-PAC. The joint at the outer pipe can

be sealed with a silicone sealant.

The following inspection should be performed after the installa-

tion of your vent system and subsequently examined annually.

1. Ensure that every joint of the vent system is properly

locked; the threads must be aligned with the arrows.

2. Make sure the roof support and the wall bands are properly

ﬁxed to the frame and vent.

3. Check the outer ﬂue of the vent system to detect any sign

of serious corrosion.

4. Remove the termination cap. Make sure there is no

obstruction that could block the ﬂow of combustion and

ventilation air.

5. Using a ﬂashlight, verify that the ﬂexible pipe is still at-

tached to the cap adaptor.

6. Make sure that the venting system is air sealed. Verify that

the black ﬂex adaptor and the cap adaptor joints with the

prefabricated metal chimney or the masonry chimney are

still sealed.
