STEP 8 – FLUE DAMPER CONTROL INSTALLATION

Country Flame’s rotary controlled flue damper should be assembled as shown in FIGURE 10 after the fireplace is completely installed. The flue damper is extremely important to energy savings, reducing heat loss, and controlling a fire. The flue damper acts as a valve, closing off the opening to the chimney when a fire is not burning. Closing the damper

reduces the amount of home heat or air conditioning that will be lost through the chimney.

Step 8 assumes that all masonry is complete and the adjustable rod sleeve, Item (C), FIGURE 10 has been or is ready to be embedded in the masonry veneer so that it cannot move. Refer to FIGURE 11b for more details on embedding Damper Handle Tab in mortar. Review FIGURE 10 to ensure a basic knowledge of each damper part and damper part name. Then follow the steps listed below in order to complete the installation of the rotary controlled damper rod. WARNING: Improper installation or operation of the damper system will make any fire difficult to control. Ensure the damper area is free from all construction or mortar debris.
