Connecting the Vent Pipe

A vertical vent termination system installed on this model will include one (1) length of 3-inch flexible vent pipe for the combustion air, one (1) pipe-to-cap adaptor, and one (1) SLK-991DA or SLK-980D Vertical termination Cap.

NOTE: The damper of the masonry chimney may need to be removed to allow installation of the flexible- vent pipe.

This fireplace has been altered to accommodate an insert and should be inspected by a qualified person prior to re-use as a conventional fireplace.

NOTE: The above label, located in the instruction package, must be affixed to the existing fireplace prior to installation of Model AT-GRAND.

For zero clearance, factory built woodburning fireplaces, the use of kit LINK-ZC-ADP, in place of the standard square flashing, will allow you to mount the adaptor and cap on metal pipe. Additionally, the use of kit FLASH-DAMP will seal off the damper opening when terminating the inlet air vent pipe just above the damper. These two kits are recommended for zero clearance, factory built woodburning fireplaces.

 

Connecting the Vent Pipe

 

Install the 3-inch flexible vent pipes down through the

 

chimney. Attach and secure the bottom ends of the

 

flex pipes to the starting collars on the unit with 3

 

sheetmetal screws on each collar. Slide the gas insert

 

into place, and position any excess flex vent pipe back

 

up into the chimney.

 

Attach the pipe-to-cap adaptor to the termination cap

 

and the top of the flexible vent pipe and set the cap in

 

place at the top of the chimney. See Figures 3, 4 & 5.

CAUTION

TO AVOID DOWNDRAFTS AND/OR COLD AIR

 

PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO SEAL

 

OFF THE AREA BETWEEN THE TERMINATION

 

CAP AND THE TOP OF THE SOLID-FUEL

 

CHIMNEY OPENING INTO WHICH THE VENT

 

CAP HAS BEEN INSTALLED.

 

When using the LINK-DV4-30 vent system, it is required

 

to seal around the flexible vent pipes in the damper

 

area. See Figure 3. Use fiberglass insulation or other

 

suitable non-combustible material.
