VENTING REQUIREMENTS
5) Non-combustible material may be brought up to the
top and sides of the appliance and be covered with
ceramic tile, brick, rock, or other non-combustible
finishing materials.
6) Steel studs should be used where the clearance from
the vent to combustible materials cannot be main-

VENTING PLANNING
The ASC-42 uses Simpson Duravent Co-Axial venting
systems. The inner tube vents products of combustion
away from the appliance, while the outer tube draws
outside air into the combustion chamber. This is a closed
system and uses no air from the interior of the home for
combustion.
Never attach this fireplace vent to another vent serving
another appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must
use its own separate venting system. Common venting
systems are prohibited for use with this appliance.
Always vent the fireplace to the outside of the building.
Never vent into a garage or enclosed area.
This venting system, in combination with the ASC-42
Direct Vent Gas Fireplace, has been tested and listed as a
direct vent gas fireplace heater by I.T.S. The location of
the termination cap must conform to the requirement in
the Vent Termination Locations diagram on page 8 of
this manual.
Before proceeding with installation, carefully examine
the chart on page 8 of this manual for options regarding
proper placement of the vent termination.
