Direct-Vent Retrofit Of Existing Chimney System
An existing Class-A (wood-burning) Metal Chimney or Masonry Chim-
ney can be converted to a direct-vent system. Use one of the following
chimney conversion kits listed below. Have the existing chimney system
inspected by a professional prior to the conversion.
The chimney conversion should not be applied to the portion of the vent
system that is in the room of the appliance. Use only Co-Axial direct-
vent pipe (4” inner pipe, 6 5/8” outer pipe as listed on Page 17) from the
appliance to the retro-connector into converted flue system. Adhere to
all specifications outlined in this manual regarding clearances to combus-
tibles, vertical and horizontal vent length minimums and maximums, etc.
Read all instructions in this manual and provided by vent manufacturer
with kit carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow the
instructions may create a fire or other safety hazard, and will void the
warranty. The following Vent System components may be safely used
with this appliance.
