DuraVent DirectVent Pro Horizontal Termination Kit C: a wall vent kit with a two piece thimble
The DuraVent DirectVent Pro Horizontal Termination Kit C is a venting kit for a gas stove vented through a wood framed wall. It includes a 90 degree elbow, a 24 inch pipe, a pipe extension, and a room side cover, all in black. Its two piece wall thimble lines the framed opening and fits the square horizontal cap. This kit fits only 4 by 6 5/8 inch DirectVent Pro. DirectVent Pro is DuraVent’s pipe inside a pipe vent for direct vent gas fireplaces and stoves: exhaust goes out through the inner pipe and outside air comes in through the outer pipe.
Canada requires a two piece wall thimble. The pipe joints twist together without gaskets or sealant unless the appliance maker specifies otherwise. The cap is sold separately because your stove maker names the approved cap. Buy the horizontal pipe separately to suit your wall. Need the same kit without the thimble? See the DuraVent DirectVent Pro Horizontal Termination Kit A. The DuraVent DirectVent Pro Horizontal Termination Kit C ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What is in Horizontal Termination Kit C, and how is it different from Kit A?
Kit C contains everything in Kit A, a 90-degree black elbow, the Ceiling Support/Wall Thimble Cover, a 24-inch black pipe and an 8-1/2-inch black pipe extension, plus the 46DVA-WT Wall Thimble. Choose C when the stove manual requires a wall thimble through a combustible wall. Neither kit includes the termination cap or the horizontal pipe run.
What does the wall thimble do?
It lines the opening where the vent passes through a framed wall, keeping the required air space between the hot pipe and the combustible framing, and the Wall Thimble Cover trims the inside. DuraVent’s table sizes the 46DVA-WT for a 10 by 10 inch framed opening. Through masonry, brick or concrete a zero-clearance opening may be allowed by the appliance manufacturer instead.
Which cap and how much horizontal pipe do I add?
The stove or fireplace manual names the approved DirectVent Pro termination cap for that model. The horizontal length equals the wall thickness plus the stove’s required rear clearance from the manual, so add pipe or an adjustable length accordingly; the 24-inch pipe and extension in the kit handle the vertical rise between the stove collar and the elbow.
Which pipe size is this kit?
It is 4 x 6-5/8 inch DirectVent Pro, the coaxial vent for direct vent natural gas and propane stoves, heaters and fireplaces with a 4-inch exhaust and 6-5/8-inch outer air pipe. Confirm on the appliance rating plate that DuraVent DirectVent Pro is approved; 5 x 8 appliances need the larger size, which uses different kits.
How is the horizontal run installed?
Keep it level or rising 1/4 inch per foot toward the cap, never sloping down, and support it at least every 4 feet. Sections twist-lock with an eighth turn; no sealant is required unless the appliance manufacturer specifies it, and screws are optional as long as they stay out of the inner wall. The cap is sealed to the wall with non-hardening silicone.
How far from soffits and openings does the cap have to sit?
DuraVent requires 12 inches above grade or a deck, 12 inches from windows and doors, 18 inches below a ventilated soffit that projects 2 feet, 12 inches below an unventilated soffit, and 6 feet from a gas regulator vent, with local codes taking precedence. On vinyl siding add a DirectVent Pro Vinyl Siding Standoff.
