B. Installing Vent Components

After determining which set of starting collars will be used (top or rear), follow venting instructions accordingly.

Venting Out the Rear Vent

Remove the installed rear seal cap from the rear starting collars by cutting the strap at each end. (see Figure 18). Follow the vent configuration tables accordingly.

Remove the insulation from the REAR five inch flue, pull the heat shield out from outside of the firebox.

WARNING: THE TOP HEAT SHIELD (INSIDE

!THE FIREBOX) MUST REMAIN ATTACHED IF THE VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 18.

Venting Out the Top Vent

Remove the top vent collar seal cap and two pieces of insulation inside the top two starting collars (See Fig- ure 18).

Remove the heat shield from inside the TOP five inch flue from outside of the firebox.

WARNING: THE REAR VENT COLLAR SEAL

!CAP MUST REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE REAR VENT COLLARS IF THE VENT SYSTEM IS AT- TACHED TO THE TOP STARTING COLLARS.

WARNING: FAILURE TO REMOVE INSULATION

!IN THE SET OF COLLARS YOU ARE USING COULD CAUSE A FIRE.

!WARNING: YOU MUST LEAVE THE INSULATION IN PLACE IN THE SET OF COLLARS YOU ARE NOT USING.

If your vertical vent component is over 10 feet, you may want to install the vertical baffle (located in the bag containing the install manual) to improve flame appearance. Center the vertical baffle on the 5” flue being used, and with self tapping screws secure the baffle to the inside of the firebox.

1. Attach the First Vent Component to Starting Collars

To attach the first vent component to the starting collars of the fireplace:

•Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5mm) bead of stove cement around the 5 inch (127mm) fireplace starting collar.

•Make sure that the fiberglass gasket supplied in the man- ual bag seals between the first 8-5/8 inch (219mm) vent component and the outer fireplace wrap. Using 2 self- tapping screws from the manual bag, secure that gasket to the outer wrap (see Figure 19).

•Lock the vent components into place by sliding the con- centric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior beads into the fireplace collar or previously installed com- ponent end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.

•When the internal beads of each 8-5/8 inch (219mm) outer pipe line up, rotate the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter (1/4) turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.

•The first 90° elbow installed in the vent system of a rear venting fireplace MUST BE in a vertical position.
