Flue Restrictor Installation | Enviro Cara manual

Initial Installation

QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY

RESTRICTOR INSTALLATION:

The ENVIRO CARA has been designed for use with an add-in restrictor. The restrictor is designed to maintain flame appearance when installing this unit with vertical chimneys as well as installations with longer horizontal vent applications. It does this by controlling the amount of air moving through the vent pipe.

1.Choose the appropriate restrictor for the installation (see INITIAL INSTALLATION - VENT CONFIGURATIONS AND RESTRICTOR SETTINGS). To avoid injury, install the restrictor when the fireplace is cool or use welder’s gloves or oven mitts.

2.Remove the glass door (see MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE - GLASS DOOR REMOVAL) and the firebox baffle (seE

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE - FIREBOX BAFFLE REMOVAL).

3.Remove two (2) 1⁄4” hex head screws for the restrictor, place restrictor in the flue collar (see Figure 30) and fasten in place with the two (2) 1⁄4” hex head screws.

4.Re-install the firebox baffle and the door.

5.Wait for the unit to warm up to operating temperature to ensure a proper and clean burning unit.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION:

1.Set the appliance in the desired location. Check to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the appliance.

2.Direct vent pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock connections. Assemble the desired combination of black pipe and elbows to the appliance adapter with pipe seams oriented towards the wall or floor, as much out of view as possible.

Place a bead of Mil-Pac on the outer edge of the inner exhaust pipe (non-flared end). Place a bead of high temperature silicone on the male edge of the outer pipe. Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise approximately 1⁄4 turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible from
