REMOVING FLUE COLLAR
REMOVING THE FLUE COLLAR
The Savannah insert has a removable fl ue collar to help with tight installations. You should
familiarize yourself with it before you install your insert.
To remove the fl ue collar you will have to remove the secondary air tubes and the C-cast
baffl e plates. See Figure 6.
1. Use a Philips head screw driver or your fi ngers to remove the drywall screws that are
hanging down next to the secondary air tubes. These screws were for shipping purposes
only and can be discarded.
2. To remove the tubes, start by removing the cotter pin on the left end of each tube, then
slide the tube to the right until the tube can be pulled down and left, and removed from
the stove. Note that each tube is marked with either M (middle) F (front) or R (rear).
Be sure you replace the tubes in their correct location to ensure your stove burns at its
optimal effi ciency. Three new cotter pins have been shipped with the insert.
3. After all three tubes have been removed you can remove the two piece C-cast baffl e.
Be very careful not to damage the baffl e. Carefully lift up on the rear piece and move it
as far back as possible letting it sit on top of the steel non-removable baffl e. Next, lift
up on the front piece and move it to the right and allow the left side to angle down into
the fi rebox until it can be removed through the door opening. You can now remove the
rear piece the same way. Figures 7 and 8.
4. Remove the bricks from the rear of the insert. This will make turning the fl ue collar
with the chimney liner much easier. Figure 9.
5. The fl ue collar has two rotating cam locks that will require the use of a hammer to unlock
and lock. Figure 11 shows the direction the cams need to turn to lock and unlock. The
fl ue collar is made of cast iron and is fairly heavy so you should use something such
as a piece of wood to support it. Once the fl ue collar has been lowered into the fi rebox
you can lower the chimney liner into the collar and fasten it with screws (see Figure
13). When putting the fl ue collar with the liner back in place, make sure the ceramic
gasket is in place. Use only high temp ceramic fi ber gaskets available at your Lexington
Forge dealer. NOTE: The fl ue collar has one side about ½" shorter than the other
three. This shorter side must be installed toward the rear of the fi rebox. Raise the
fl ue collar chimney assembly and support it in place. Carefully hammer the cam locks
over the fl ue collar alternating from one side to the other until they are parallel to the
back of the stove.
6. Replace the C-cast baffl e and tubes, remembering to check each tube for the
letter M, F or R to be sure you replace them in the correct location. After
the tubes are in place check to see that the c-cast baffl e is slid back against
the steel non- removable baffl e as shown in Figure 10. Replace the rear
bricks.
