VERTICAL VENTING INSTALLATION
1.Move the fireplace into position.
2.Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws provided. The roof support is optional. In this case the vent- ing is to be adequately supported using either an alternate method suitable to the authority having jurisdiction or the optional roof support.
GAS INSTALLATION
Proceed once the vent installation is complete.
Note : All gas connections must be contained within
the fireplace when complete.
1.The fireplace is designed to accept a ½” gas supply line. The fireplace is equipped with a ½” manual
3.Apply high temperature seal- ant to the outer edge of the inner sleeve of the air terminal. Slip a 4” diameter coupler a minimum of 2” over the sleeve and secure using 3 screws.
4. Apply high temperature seal- ant to the outer edge of the of the outside sleeve of the air terminal. Slip a 7” diameter coupler over the sleeve and secure as before.

6.Remove nails from the shin-
gles, above and to the sides of the chimney. Place the flashing over the air terminal and slide it
underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal is properly centred within the flashing, giv- ing a 3/4” margin all around. Fasten to the roof. Do NOT nail through the lower portion of the flashing. Make

8.Continue adding rigid venting sections, sealing and securing as above. Attach a 4” collapsed telescopic pipe to the last section of rigid piping. Secure with screws and seal. Repeat using a 7” telescopic pipe.
9.Run a bead of high temperature sealant around the outside of the 4” collar on the fireplace. Pull the adjustable pipe a minimum of 2” onto the collar. Secure with 3 screws. Repeat with the 7” telescopic pipe.
10.In the attic, slide the vent pipe collar down to cover up the open end of the shield and tighten. This will prevent any materials, such as insulation, from filling up the 1” air space around the pipe.

FLUE COLLAR
Vertical terminations may display a very active flame. If this appearance is not desirable, the vent exit must be restricted using restrictor plate,
The plate has a series of holes to allow for adjustment. Remove the two screws on either side of the exhaust collar inside the firebox. Install the plate in the desired set of holes, then replace the screws.
It is recommend to secure in the third set of holes which causes the greatest amount of restriction for vent length between 15 and 30 feet.
