Your fireplace is approved for use with any listed gas vent. A listed gas vent is a factory made and listed system designed, and in- stalled exclusively for removing products of combustion, excess air, and dilution air resulting from burning fuel gas. Metal vents, the most common type of vent, employ double wall construction enclosing an insu- lating air space. This air space both helps keep flue gases warm and reduce heat trans- ferred to nearby combustibles. This appli- ance is equipped with a safety control sys- tem designed to protect against improper venting of combustion products.
It is very important that the venting system maintain its balance between the combus- tion air intake and the flue gas exhaust. Certain limitations apply to vent configura- tions and must be strictly followed.
WARNING: This gas fireplace and vent assembly must be vented directly to the outside. The venting system must NEVER be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
