CAUTION: Treatment of firestop spacers and construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Therefore, your local building codes must be checked to determine the requirements for these steps.

NOTE: When installing this vent system in a chase, it is always good building practice to insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially important for cold climate installations. Upon completion of building your chase framing, install the vent system by following the instructions in this manual. Remember to build the chase large enough so that minimum clearance of combustible materials (including insulation) to the vent system are maintained.

Attach vent pipe to inlet and outlet vent adaptor on fireplace, replace horizontal and vertical pipe lengths, elbows and horizontal or vertical termination kit.

All vent system components lock into place by sliding the concentric pipe section with four (4) equally spaced interior beads onto the appliance collar or previously installed component end with four

(4)equally spaced indented sections. When the internal beads of each starting outer pipe line up, rotate pipe section clockwise 90° (approximately 3 inches). The vent pipe is now locked together.

Continue replacing components per the vent system configuration. Be certain that each succeeding vent component is securely fitted and locked into the preceding component in the vent system.
