Empire Horizontal Power Vent for Direct Vent Units
The Empire horizontal power vent (model number DVKPMP) is the power vent termination for the McKinley 60" TruFlame direct-vent fireplace, which Empire lists as requiring a power vent. It terminates through an outside wall, and its inducer draws the exhaust through the vent run.
A WHP wire harness is required between the fireplace and the power vent. For a vertical termination, add the DVKCVP vertical conversion kit.

Installation Notes
-
Sealing: seal all outer pipe joints with aluminum tape or silicone rated above 300°F; inner flue joints need no sealant.
-
Downward runs: the run may drop at most 12 ft from its highest point, and once it runs downward it cannot turn back up.
-
Service access: if the power vent will be serviced from the rear, at least 12 inches of vent pipe must be removable.
-
Wiring: connect the fireplace to the power vent with a WHP wire harness long enough to cover the run.
