Empire Industries 822 Vinyl Siding Kit Direct Vent

Product Description

The EMPIRE INDUSTRIES 822 is a vinyl siding kit designed for use with Empire direct vent heaters installed on buildings with vinyl siding exteriors. Direct vent heaters require a sealed combustion pathway through the exterior wall, and this kit provides the hardware needed to make that penetration clean and weather-tight where vinyl siding is the cladding material. HVAC technicians and heating contractors install this kit during new heater installations or when retrofitting existing direct vent units on vinyl-sided structures.

This kit is intended for residential and light commercial applications where Empire direct vent heaters are wall-mounted and vented through a vinyl siding exterior. It ensures the vent termination point is properly fitted and sealed against the siding profile, preventing air infiltration, moisture intrusion, and cosmetic damage to the siding surface around the vent opening.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for vinyl siding exterior applications on direct vent heater installations
• Provides a weather-tight fit at the vent wall penetration point
• Compatible with multiple Empire DV-series direct vent heater models
• Simplifies code-compliant vent termination on vinyl-clad walls

Compatibility

Compatible with the following Empire direct vent heater models: DV210, DV215, DV25, DV35, DVC35, and DV55.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician or heating contractor familiar with direct vent appliance venting requirements. Shut off the heater and allow it to cool completely before beginning any work on the vent system. Refer to the heater manufacturer installation manual and applicable local mechanical codes for proper wall penetration clearances and siding preparation requirements. Do not modify or compress the siding kit components to force a fit, as this may compromise the weather seal.
