GENERAL VENTING
These models are approved for use with Simpson Dura-Vent or AmeriVent 6 ⅝" direct-vent pipe components and
terminations as well as rigid Buck Stove vent components.
Your stove with burner system is approved to be vented either through the side wall, or vertically using the following
guidelines:
•
Only use Simpson Dura-Vent or AmeriVent GS venting components or kits specifically approved for this stove
and burner system.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is 1" (25 mm), except where stated otherwise.
Do not recess venting termination into a wall or siding.
If your house is covered with vinyl siding, you will need to use a vinyl siding standoff (see Figure 23, page 11).
Install horizontal venting with a ¼" rise for every 12" of run toward the termination.
You may paint the vent termination with 450°F (232°C) heat-resistant paint to coordinate with the exterior finish.
There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks, or utility buildings within 24"
from the front of the termination cap.
•
Do not locate termination cap where excessive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to clear vent termination
area after snow falls to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, do not direct
snow towards vent termination area.
•
You must maintain minimum wall and ceiling clearances shown in Figures 3 and 4, page 3.
LOCATION OF VENT TERMINATION
When locating vent termination, it is important to observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 17, page 8.
*Check with local codes or with the current CAN/CGA B149[.1 or .2] Installation Codes for Canada or the USA.
Installations follow the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANS Z223.1, also known as NFPA 54.

(shown in Figures 38 through 41 on pages
18 and 19) separately.
VENTING
INSTALLATION
Note: You may use two 45° elbows in
place of a 90° elbow. You must follow rise
to run ratios when using 45° elbows.
For two-story applications, firestops are
required at each floor level. If an offset is
needed in the attic, additional pipe and
elbows will be required.
WARNING: Horizontal sections
of this vent system require a
minimum clearance of 2" from the
top of the pipe and 1" minimum to
the sides and bottom. Vertical
sections of this system require a
minimum of 1" clearance to
combustible materials on all sides
of the pipe.
You may use a chase with a vent
termination with exposed pipe on the
exterior of the house. See Installing Vent
System in a Chase, below.
It is very important that the venting system
maintain its balance between the
combustion air intake and the flue gas
exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent
configurations and must be strictly
followed.
INSTALLATION PLANNING
There are two basic types of direct-vent
installation:
•
•
Horizontal Termination
Vertical Termination
Installing Vent System in a Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built
to enclose venting that runs along the
outside of a building. A chase is required
for such venting.
It is important to select the proper length
of vent pipe for the type of termination
you choose. It is also important to note
the wall thickness.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
Consult local building codes before For Horizontal Termination: Select the
beginning the installation. The installer amount of vertical rise desired. The
must make sure to select the proper vent horizontal run of venting must have ¼"
system for installation. Before installing rise for every 12" of run towards the
vent kit, the installer must read this stove termination.

INSTALLATION FOR HORIZONTAL
TERMINATION
1. Determine the route your horizontal
venting will take. Note: The location
of the horizontal vent termination on
the exterior wall must meet all local
and national building codes and must
not be easily blocked or obstructed.
12" Minimum
Snorkel terminations are available for
terminations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building (see
Figures 18 and 19). Snorkel kit is also
available at your dealers. Follow the
same installation procedures used for
standard horizontal terminations. If
installing the snorkel termination
below grade (basement applications),
you must provide proper drainage to
prevent water from entering the
snorkel termination (see Figure 19).
Do not back fill around the snorkel
termination.
Figure 18– Snorkel Termination
2. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have
special twist-lock connections.
Assemble the desired combination of
pipe and elbows to the appliance
adaptor with pipe seams oriented
towards the wall or floor.
Snorkel
Twist-lock Procedure: The female
ends of the pipes and fittings have
three locking lugs (indentations).
These lugs will slide straight into
matching slots on the male ends of
adjacent pipes and fittings. (All
connections must be sealed with high
temperature silicone sealant as
specified in the second warning
statement on page 9). Push the pipe
sections together and twist one section
clockwise approximately one-quarter
turn until the sections are fully locked.
See Figure 20, on following page.
Note: Horizontal runs of vent must be
supported every three feet. Use wall
straps for this purpose.

6. Carefully move the stove with vent
assembly attached toward the wall
and insert the vent pipe into the
horizontal termination. The pipe
overlap should be a minimum of
1 ¼". Apply silicone to the outer
pipe connection. Fasten all vent
connections with screws provided.
7. Slide the wall thimble against the
interior wall surface and attach with
screws provided (see Figure 24).
4. Apply a bead of non-hardening
mastic around the outside edge of
the vent cap. Position the vent cap
in the center of the 7 ½" or 10" hole
on the exterior wall with the “up”
on the vent cap facing up. Ensure
proper clearance of 1" to
combustibles is maintained. Attach
the vent cap with four wood screws
supplied (see Figure 22). Note:
Replace the wood screws with
appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of
siding.
3. Attach vent pipe assembly to the
burner system. Set stove in front of its
permanent location to ensure
minimum clearances. Mark the wall
for
a
10" square hole (for
noncombustible material such as
masonry block or concrete, a 7 ½"
diameter hole is acceptable). See
Figure 21. The center of the hole
should line up with the center line of
the horizontal rigid vent pipe. Cut a
10" x 10" (254mm x 254mm) square
hole through combustible exterior
wall (7 ½" [190mm] diameter hole if
noncombustible). Frame as necessary.

Standoff
For vinyl siding, stucco, or wood
exterior use vinyl siding standoffs
between vent cap and exterior wall.
The vinyl siding standoff prevents
excessive heat from melting the

the ceiling joists. If the area above the
ceiling is an insulated ceiling or a
room, nail firestop from the top side.
This prevents loose insulation from
falling into the required clearance
space. Otherwise, install firestop
below the framed hole. The firestop
should be installed with no less than
three nails per side (see Figure 27).
1. Determine the route your vertical
venting will take. If ceiling joists,
roof rafters, or other framing will
obstruct the venting system, consider
an offset (see Figure 26) to avoid
cutting load bearing members. Note:
Pay special attention to these
installation instructions for required
clearances (air space) to
combustibles when passing through
4. Connect a section of pipe and extend
up through the hole.
Note: If an offset is needed to avoid
obstructions, you must support the
vent pipe every 3 feet. Use wall
straps for this purpose (see Figure
26). Whenever possible, use 45°
elbows instead of 90° elbows. The
45° elbow offers less restriction to
the flow of the flue gases and intake
air.

the burner system flue up through the
firestop. All connections must be
sealed with high temperature silicone
sealant as specified. Be sure all pipe
and elbow connections are fully twist-
locked (see Figure 20, page 11).
5. Place the flashing over the pipe
section(s) extending through the
roof. Secure the base of the flashing
to the roof and framing with roofing
nails. Be sure roofing material
overlaps the top edge of the flashing
as shown in Figure 26. There must
be a 1" clearance from the vent pipe
to combustible materials.
2. Set the stove in desired location.
Drop a plumb line down from the
ceiling to the position of the burner
system exit flue. Mark the center
point where the vent will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small locating
hole at this point.
If area above is not a room, install firestop
above framed hole.

Note: You must increase vent height
for steep roof pitches. Nearby trees,
adjoining rooflines, steep pitched
roofs, and other similar factors may
cause poor draft or down-drafting in
high winds. Increasing the vent
height may solve this problem.

7. Twist-lock the vent cap onto the last
section of vent pipe and seal outer

Note: If the vent pipe passes through any
occupied areas above the first floor,
including storage spaces and closets, you
must enclose pipe. You may frame and
sheetrock the enclosure with standard
construction material. Make sure and

Your Buck Stove cast iron stove and direct
-vent burner system has been CSA/AGA
tested and approved for elevations from 0-
4500 feet.
When installing this stove at an elevation
above 2000 feet (in the USA), you may
need to decrease the input rating by
changing the existing burner orifice to a
smaller size. Reduce input 4% for each
1000 feet above sea level. Check with your
local gas company for proper orifice size
identification.
When installing this stove at an elevation
above 4500 feet (in Canada), check with
local authorities.
Consult your local gas company to help
determine the proper orifice for your
location.

For propane/LP connections only, the
installer must supply an external
regulator. The external regulator will
reduce incoming gas pressure. You must
reduce incoming gas pressure to between
11 and 14 inches of water. If you do not
reduce incoming gas pressure, burner
system regulator damage could occur.
Install external regulator with the vent
pointing down as shown in Figure 30.
Pointing the vent down protects it from
freezing rain or sleet.
Check your building codes for any special
requirements for locating equipment
shutoff valve to stoves.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male
threads. This will prevent excess sealant
from going into pipe. Excess sealant in
pipe could result in clogged burner
system valves.
STOVE AND DIRECT-
VENT BURNER SYSTEM
INSTALLATION
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use proper gas type for the burner system
you are installing. If you have conflicting
gas types, do not install burner system. See
dealer where you purchased the stove and
burner system for proper burner system
according to your gas type.
We recommend that you install a
sediment trap/drip leg in supply line as
shown in Figure 31. Locate sediment trap/
drip leg where it is within reach for
INSTALLING GAS PIPING TO
STOVE/BURNER SYSTEM
LOCATION
cleaning. Install in piping system between
fuel supply and burner system. Locate
sediment trap/drip leg where trapped
matter is not likely to freeze. A sediment
trap traps moisture and contaminants.
This keeps them from going into burner
system gas controls. If sediment trap/drip
leg is not installed or is installed wrong,
burner system may not run properly.
Installation must include an equipment
shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8"
NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach
for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be
upstream from burner system (see Figure
31).
CAUTION: For propane/LP units, never
connect burner system directly to the
propane/LP supply. This burner system
requires an external regulator (not
supplied). Install the external regulator
between the burner system and propane/
LP supply.
