INSTALLATION (cont.)
VENTING
Refer to the VENTING REQUIREMENTS section for
important information regarding the vent system and the
venting kit approved for installation with your unit. Observe
all codes.
1. Remove the fi replace damper (to allow for proper
clearance of the fl exible vent pipes).
2. Preset the insert in the fi replace to ensure a proper fi t.
3. Measure from the top of the chimney down to the
location that the top of the insert / vent adapter will
rest when installed (see Fig. 24-1).
4. Stretch the vent pipes to the measured length. Or, if
necessary, cut the pipes to the measured length using
snips or a hacksaw. See Fig. 24-2, D.
Note: Each 1 foot of pipe can be stretched to a length of
3 feet. It is highly recommended that you DO NOT
fully stretch the pipes, to allow for any adjustments
during installation and/or future maintenance.
5. Mark each end of one pipe. This is the exhaust. See
Fig. 24-2, E.
Note: If the pipe is marked w/ arrows (indicating air
fl ow direction): up arrow is exhaust, down arrow
is intake.
6. Carefully route the pipes through the chimney (see
Fig. 24-2,F.
Important: When routing pipes keep them as straight
as possible, ensure they pass through
damper area, and DO NOT crimp, rupture,
or collapse them.
Note: Rope and a weight may be temporarily attached
to the pipes to assist in routing them down the
chimney.
7. Connect the termination cap to the pipes as instructed
in the manufacturer instruction (see Fig. 24-2, G, and
Fig. 24-3.
Important: Ensure the marked / up arrow pipe is
connected to the exhaust port on the cap.
8. Pack tightly insulation (not included) around the pipes
inside the top of the chimney area (prevents moisture
and wind from entering chimney). See Fig. 24-4,H.
9. Place the termination cap assembly in position atop
the chimney. Permanently attach using sealant and
screws (as appropriate for setup). See Fig. 24 -4, I.
Important: A tight connection must be made between
the gas fi replace insert fl ue collar and the
fi replace chimney.
You are now done outside.
