Restricting Vertical Vents

Where possible, cover the sides and top edges of the flash- ing with roofing material.

6.Apply a heavy bead of

weatherproof caulking

2 inches above the flashing. Slide the storm collar around the air terminal and down to the caulking. Tighten to en- sure that a weather-tight seal between the air terminal and FIGURE 19 the collar is achieved.

Attach the other storm collar centred between the air intake and the air exhaust slots onto the air terminal. Tighten securely. Attach the vertical rain cap.

Spacers are attached to the 4" inner flex liner at prede- termined intervals to maintain a 1-1/4" air gap to the 7" outer liner. These spacers must not be removed.

7.If more liner needs to be used to reach the fireplace, follow the same procedure as found in HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION. The vent system must be sup- ported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and hori- zontal runs. Use Wolf Steel support ring assembly W010-0370or equivalent noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum 1" clearance to combustibles as well as to prevent sagging.

Vertical installations running longer than 10 feet may dis- play a very active flame. If this appearance is not desirable, remove the brick baffle from the firebox, exposing the flue gas outlet openings. Bend the restrictor plates up (from their normal opening of 45°) into the flue openings. Re- place the brick baffle. This reduces the velocity of the ex- haust gases, slowing down the flame pattern and creating a more traditional gentle appearance. Specific instructions are shown in "Trouble Shooting".
