Heat & Glo LifeStyle 6000XLSB manual Continue Adding Vent Components, To Install the Heat Shield

2. Continue Adding Vent Components

!WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THE 7000XLS FIREPLACE REQUIRES THE USE OF HEAT

SHIELD 570-290 ABOVE THE FIRST 900 ELBOW IN THE VENTING SYSTEM THAT MAKES A TRANSI- TION FROM VERTICAL TO HORIZONTAL. (HEAT SHIELD NOT REQUIRED FOR 6000XLSB).

To Install the Heat Shield:

1.Determine if the heat shield is required. Do so by mea- suring the vertical distance between the top horizontal surface of the elbow to any combustible surface above. If the distance is more than 4 inches, the heat shield is NOT required. If it is 4 inches or less, the heat shield IS REQUIRED. Install per the following steps. See Figure 11.

2.Fasten the shield in place using the four pilot holes pro- vided in the part. The shield should be oriented such that the 13 1/8 inch dimension (longest dimension) is run- ning in the same direction the elbow is pointing. The shield should be centered directly above the elbow, and positioned so that it creates a 1/2 inch airspace between the shield and the combustible surface. See Figure 12.

•Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed- ing component into place.

•Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure- ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the vent system.

•90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el- bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre- ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2) sheet metal screws.

	3. Install Support Brackets
	For Horizontal Runs - The vent system must be supported
	every five (5) feet of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe support.
	To install support brackets for horizontal runs:
	• Place the pipe supports around the vent pipe.
Figure 11	• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.
