B. Installing Vent Components
After determining which direction the 45O elbow will be used follow venting instructions accordingly.
•This fireplace comes ready to vent horizontally.
•To vent off the unit vertically, the elbow cover plate must first be removed from the unit (see Figure 20).
•The elbow can be removed from the unit by aligning the seams of the elbow to the arrows on the surrounding heat shield (see Figure 21).
•Position the elbow in the vertical position. Snap in place with the starting collar.
•Replace the elbow cover plate aligning it with the elbow and secure in place with the 8 screws.
•Place rope ring around the first section of pipe and slide it up against the cover plate.
NOTE: The rope ring is required for the heat manage- ment and to prevent cold air infiltration.

Venting Out Vertically
If your vertical vent component is over 4 feet, you may want to install the flue restrictor (located in the bag containing the install manual) to improve flame appearance. Center the flue restrictor on the 5” flue being used, and with self tapping screws secure the restrictor to the inside of the firebox as shown in Figure 22.
