FIREPLACE VENT CONNECTION
1.Install the 4” diameter aluminium flexible liner to the fireplace. Secure with 3 screws and flat washers. Seal the joint and screw holes using the high temperature sealant
2.Install the 7” diameter aluminium flexible liner to the fireplace. Attach and seal the joints.

USING RIGID VENT COMPONENTS
The vent system must be supported approximately every 3 feet for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use Wolf Steel vent spacers or equivalent every 3 feet and either side of each elbow to maintain the minimum 1¼” clearance between the outer and inner vent pipes. Use Wolf Steel support ring as- sembly or equivalent noncombustible strapping to maintain the minimum clearance to combustibles for both vertical and horizontal runs.
All inner exhaust and outer intake vent pipe joists may be sealed using either Red RTV high temp silicone sealant or Black high temp Mill Pac with the exception of the fireplace exhaust flue collar which must be sealed using Mill Pac (not supplied).

2.Apply high temperature sealant
3.Holding the air terminal (with the air deflectors to the top and the lettering in an upright, readable position) insert the terminal into both vent pipes with a twisting motion to ensure that both the terminal sleeves engage into the vent pipes and sealant. Secure the terminal to the exterior wall and
make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied).
EXTENDED HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL
INSTALLATION
1. Follow the instructions for “Horizontal Air Terminal Installations”, items 1 to 3.
2. Continue adding com- ponents alternating inner and outer venting. Ensure
that all 4” venting and elbows
have sufficient vent spacers attached and each compo- nent is securely fastened to the one prior. Attach the 4” telescopic sleeve to the vent run.
Repeat using a 7” telescopic sleeve. Secure and seal as before. To facilitate completion, attach 4” and 7” couplers to the air terminal.
3.Install the air terminal. See item 3 of the Horizontal Air
Terminal Installation. Extend the 4” telescopic sleeve; con- nect to the air terminal assembly. Fasten with self tapping screws and seal. Repeat using the 7” telescopic sleeve.
