INSTALLATION - Optima 3 INS

Standard Installation Configurations Into and Existing Fireplace – Model: Optima3 INS IMPORTANT- Make sure the chimney and firebox are clean and free of soot and ashes before installation begins. Fail- ure 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 Existing Chimney

This pellet insert may be installed into a masonry fireplace (built to UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards) or a factory built fireplace (built to UL 127 or ULC S610 standards) as illustrated on this page. When installing into a masonry chimney, it is recommended that the exhaust vent be extended to the top of the chimney as shown on the following page. However, 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 & Canada) Direct Connection / Positive Flue Connection

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

See the following instructions for acceptable methods for sealing chimney throat.

Approved Methods of Achieving a Positive Flue Con- nection - A qualified installer should evaluate the ex- isting fireplace to determine the best method for achieving a positive flue connection between the vent pipe or liner and the 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 ma- sonry screws. Other acceptable methods include packing noncombustible material (i.e. rockwool) around the vent pipe or using a flue adapter. What- ever “seal off” method is used must effectively seal the area to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace.

Direct Connection

(not allowed in Canada)

The vent pipe must extend a minimum of 18" above the damper. The chim- ney must not be corroded or dam- aged in any way for this type of installa- tion to be permitted.

Anon-combustible seal is required at the damper area (to prevent dilution air from entering the chimney). See Posi- tive Flue Connection
