B. Installing Vent Components
1.Attach the First Vent Component to the 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 4 inch (102mm) fireplace starting collar.
•Make sure that the fireplace rope gasket supplied with the fireplace seals between the first
•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

!WARNING: A 3/8 INCH (9.5 MM) BEAD OF STOVE CEMENT MUST BE PLACED AROUND
THE 4 INCH (102 MM) FIREPLACE STARTING COL-
LAR BEFORE ATTACHING THE FIRST VENT COM- PONENT. FAILURE TO SEAL THIS JOINT MAY CAUSE THE FIREPLACE TO OPERATE IMPROPER- LY. SEE THE DIAGRAM .
!WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE FIBER- GLASS ROPE GASKET SUPPLIED WITH
THE FIREPLACE SEALS BETWEEN THE FIRST VENT COMPONENT AND THE OUTER FIREPLACE WRAP.
If the installation is for a termination cap attached directly to the fireplace, skip to the sections, Install Firestops and Vent Termination.
2. Continue Adding Vent Components
•Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed- ing component into place.
•Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure- ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the vent system.
•90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el- bow does not end up in a locked position with the preced- ing component, attach with a minimum of two (2) 1/2” sheet metal screws.
