GENERAL FLUE VENTING INSTRUCTIONS

The Mendota Fireplace must be vented using Amerivent, Duravent, Selkirk Metalbestos, Security Chimney or ICC Brand

venting systems. All warranties will be voided and serious fire, health or other safety hazards may result from any of the

following actions: Installation by unauthorized personnel; installation of any damaged component; unauthorized modifica-

tion of vent system; installation of any components not approved by Mendota; failure to meet all clearance requirements;

failure to properly twist-lock and positively seal all components. Consult local building codes before beginning the installa-

tion.

Always maintain required clearances (air spaces) to combustibles to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insu-

lation. Check installation instructions for minimum clearance requirements between the outer walls of the vent pipe and

nearby combustible surfaces. Be sure to check the vent termination clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits,

gas regulators, air supply inlets, and public walkways, as specified in these installation instructions and local building

codes. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER: 1) Wear gloves and safety glasses for protection; 2) Exercise

extreme caution when using ladders or on rooftops; and 3) be aware of electrical wiring locations in walls and ceilings.

WARNING

The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never attached to a chimney

serving another solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must have its own separate vent sys-

tem. Common vent systems are prohibited.

To assure proper venting performance of the high-performance Mendota Direct Vent Fireplace, it is critical that all brands

of vent pipe sections are sealed tightly and leak-proof. This means that all pipe sections must be carefully rotated into the

fully "twist-locked" position.

We Strongly Recommend That Fixed Length Pipe Sections Be Used In Place Of Telescoping Sections Whenever

Possible.

Note: When using vent pipe and components that do not incorporate a fiberglass or graphite gasket at the joints, it is rec-

ommended that you use Milpak 1000F silicate stove sealant (#65-06-00909). High temperature foil tape may be used on

the outer (air intake) pipe joints.

NOT SEPARATE ADJUSTABLE TELESCOPING SECTIONS. THEY MUST

VENT COMPONENTS "TWIST-LOCK" CONNECTION PROCEDURE

BE USED AS COMPLETE

ASSEMBLIES.

DuraVent and American Metals pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock connections. Twist-lock

procedure is as follows: four (4) indentations, located on the female ends of pipes and fittings are designed to

slide straight in to the male ends of the adjacent pipes and fittings, by orient-

ing the four pipe identifications so that they match and slide into the four en-

try slots on the male ends (Figure 3).

Push the pipe sections completely together then twist-lock one section

clockwise, approximately ¼ turn until the two sections are fully locked. The

female locking lugs will not be visible from the outside on the black pipe or

fittings. They may be located by examining inside of the female ends
