INSTALLATIONINTOAMASONRYFIREPLACE
1.Remove the fi replace damper or fasten it permanently open.
2.Measure the throat of the fi replace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (fl ue cover). Cut a hole sized for the pellet liner to lie directly below the fi replace fl ue opening. Allow two inches of material for a fl ange on all sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the fl anges. If you have never done this before, it might be a good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it fi rst. fasten this fl ue cover in position as high as possible with two masonry screws per side through the fl anges into the fi replace.
3.If you plan on connecting outside air it is recommended to do so at this time.
4.Connect the pellet vent with a clean out tee to the back of the stove. Refer to manufacturer's installation instructions and the "General Venting Section".
5.Run a liner down the chimney and connect to tee.
6.Position the stove in it's fi nal location.
7.Pull the excess length of liner out through the top of the chimney. Trim the excess liner, install the cap and cap the chimney.
