REAR EXIT:
Before attaching elbows to the collars on the back of the fireplace, 1½" will need to be trimmed off the 4" collar.
From inside the fi rebox, insert the 4" fl ue pipe / gasket assembly (provided) through the rear of the fi rebox.
Secure the gasket assembly to the rear and top of the unit using 4 #8 x 3/4" Hex Head Wildrill screws supplied.
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE CAP WILL CAUSE THE FIRE- PLACE TO FUNCTION IMPROPERLY AND CAN CAUSE INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
2.Remove the plate covering the 4" diameter flue opening (seen inside the top of the 7" diameter collar) and discard. Try not to disturb the retaining ring or the gasket beneath.
3.From inside the firebox, insert the 4" flue pipe assembly through the heat shield and out through the retaining ring. Secure the assembly to the rear and top of the unit using 4 #8 x ¾" Hex Head Wildrill screws supplied. Do not over tighten. The gasket needs only to be snug against the fi rebox. FIGURE 46.

This application occurs when venting through an exterior wall.
Having determined the correct height for the air terminal location, cut and frame a hole in the exterior wall 9 7/8" wide by 11 3/8" high to accommodate the firestop assembly. Dry fit the firestop assembly before proceeding to ensure the brackets on the rear surface fit within the horizontal framing.
As an alternative to framing, the vent pipe can be enclosed in the wall using Napoleon® vent sleeve VS47KT.
NOTE: THE FIRESTOP ASSEMBLY MUST BE INSTALLED WITH THE VENT SHIELD TO THE TOP.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter for combustible walls that are less than 8 1/2" thick but the vent shield must extend the full depth of the combustible wall.
1.Apply a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the outer edge of the inside surface of the firestop assembly, fit the firestop assembly to the hole and secure using the 4 screws
2.Once the vent pipe is installed in its final position, apply high temperature sealant
NOTE: DO NOT FILL THE CAVITY BETWEEN THE VENT PIPE AND THE FIRESTOP SLEEVE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.
