Standard Installation ConÞgurations Into an Existing Fireplace Model: ProÞle¨ 30 INS-2

Model: ProÞle 30 INS-2

NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA

IMPORTANT - Make sure the chimney and firebox are clean and free of soot and ashes before installation begins. Failure to do so may result in the transfer of soot into the room by way of the room air blower.

(USA only) Venting Into an Masonry Fireplace

In the USA, as a minimum the vent connector from the insert flue outlet must extend a minimum of 18” above the damper and the damper area must be sealed to prevent dilution air from entering the chimney which will affect proper drafting of appliance. In Canada, this appliance requires a full reline when installing into a masonry Þreplace.

This pellet insert may be installed into a masonry fireplace (built to UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards) as illustrated on this page. When installing into a masonry chimney, in the USA it is recommended that the exhaust vent be extended to the top of the chimney as shown on Page 18 (in Canada, this is Required). However, in the USA, if the vent pipe does not extend to the top of the chimney, the vent must extend a minimum of 18” above the damper. You must seal the damper area so that the air / exhaust in the chimney cannot communicate with the air in the fireplace firebox (this is a positive flue connection. See the following instructions for one method of sealing flue).

(USA and Canada) Direct Connection / Positive Flue Connection

See the following instructions for Approved Methods of Achieving a Positive Flue Connection.

A qualified installer should evaluate the existing fireplace to determine the best method for achieving a positive flue connection between the vent pipe or liner and the existing fireplace chimney. The most common method for achieving a positive flue connection in masonry fireplaces is to secure a seal-off plate (i.e. 22-gage sheet steel) in the fireplace throat using masonry screws. Other acceptable methods include packing non- combustible material (i.e. rockwool) around the vent pipe or using a flue adapter. Whatever “seal off” method is used must effectively seal the area to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace.

Positive Flue Connection into a Masonry Fireplace without a Full Reline

The ProÞle 30 INS-2 does not require a full reline (in USA only) when installing into a masonry Þreplace, however, it is recommended to ensure proper drafting of the appliance. The vent connector from the insert must extend a minimum of 18Ó above the damper and the damper area must be sealed to prevent dilution air from entering the chimney which will affect proper drafting of appliance

The vent pipe must extend a minimum of 18Ó above the damper. The chimney must not be corroded or damaged in any way for this type of installation to be permitted.

A non-combustible seal is required at the damper area (to prevent dilution air from entering the chimney). See Positive Flue Connection
