INSTALLATION
Standard Vertical Installation Configurations Models: Optima 2 FS and Optima 3 FS
These freestanding models may be connected to an existing flue or by installing listed type “PL” vent pipe. If a liner is run all the way to the top of the existing chim- ney, the existing flue should be sealed with a steel plate. Start a vertical run with a Tee at the back of the stove. Other options are illustrated below. Note: See page 15 for Vent Termination Requirements
Exterior Vertical Vent
Wall Straps 
Required Every 4 ft. Minimum
Preferred Installation – Vertical Vent Through the
Roof
This venting configuration allows for the best stove performance. The vertical pipe promotes natural draft and with the chimney inside the dwelling, the flue gases stay warm, thus rising at a consistent rate.
