• Only the 5” x 8” direct vent components from M&G DuraVent are approved for use with these replaces. Any of the M&G
DuraVent 5” x 8” direct vent components suitable for the local condition are permitted. Please visit www.europeanhome.com/
qr-support or via the QR code below for installation instructions.
• This replace is shipped with a North American venting adapter. It MUST attach to the vent collar of the replace.
• All venting measurements are taken from the top center of the vent collar on the top of the replace and all congurations
must fall within the acceptable range of the venting charts.
• When using wall terminations no more than (3) 45° or 90° elbows are permitted. See the HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS section.
• When using vertical terminations no more than (4) 90° elbows OR (8) 45° elbows OR a combination totaling no more than 360
‘elbow degrees’. For example, a combination of (2) 90° elbows and (2) 45° elbows is allowed (90° + 90° + 45°+ 45° equals 270°)
but a combination of (3) 90° elbows and (3) 45° elbows is not allowed (the total equals 405°.) These elbows can be installed
either horizontally or vertically.
• A minimum clearance of 3”/75 mm must be maintained between combustible materials and the top of any horizontal vent
pipe surface; a minimum clearance of 1”/25 mm must be maintained between combustible materials and any other vent pipe
surface.
• The horizontal parts of the venting must be pitched up away from the replace. For every 12” / 305 mm of horizontal run, the
venting must rise ¼” ⁄ 6.5 mm toward the termination. The venting must never run downward unless with the use of a power
vent.
• Whenever venting passes through a wall, an approved heat shield or ‘wall thimble’ must be installed.
• A power vent system is available. Refer to the appropriate power vent manual for any venting conguration which is outside
of the vent graphs shown here.
• Your venting needs to be inspected annually, including any connected components, to ensure that the system is working as
designed.
CONFIGURING THE VENTING
The replaces in this manual are direct vent replaces that use a co-axial or “pipe within a pipe” venting system. The outer “pipe” or vent
conducts fresh, outside air into the replace and the inner vent carries the exhaust outside. This system, which can run either horizontally
through a side wall or vertically through the roof, produces an ecient system because conditioned building air is not used for combustion.
All of the following points apply to every installation:
• Without a power vent, the maximum allowable rise is 36’/11.0 m and the maximum allowable run is 16’5”/5.0 m but not in
combination.
• Without a power vent, the minimum vent conguration is a 19”/500 mm vertical rise to a 90° elbow plus a 19”/500 mm
horizontal run to a wall termination.
