INSERT VENT CONNECTION
Move the insert close to its final position inside the wood- burning fireplace. This unit is equipped with 4 levelling screws located in the four inside corners beneath the log support. Level using the levelling screws to eliminate rock- ing or excessive noise when the fan is in operation. Once the unit is level, move it partially into place within the fire- place to allow for all connections to be made. It is not prac- tical to level the insert once it has been installed. Deter- mine the required depth prior to installing the unit and ad- just the four levelling screws accordingly.
CHIMNEY CONNECTION
Chimney installation must conform to both national and local code requirements. The chimney must be lined with one 2" or 3" diameter liner for intake and one 3" diameter liner for exhaust. The minimum and maximum vent lengths are 10 and 35 feet respectively. Recommended Napoleon kits come in 3 lengths:
VENT KIT 20FT | |
VENT KIT 25FT | |
VENT KIT 35FT | |
VENT KIT 20FT | |
VENT KIT 25 FT | |
VENT KIT 35 FT |
While the liners must be continuous from the fireplace to the chimney cap, to achieve the needed length, they may be coupled, using an approved coupler.
We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through unheated spaces, such as a garage or attic, be wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensa- tion and reverse flow symptoms. See Trouble Shooting for details.
This unit is approved for use with a 2" liner for air intake and a 3" liner for exhaust. For best performance, how- ever, it is recommended to use two 3" liners.
If a 2" liner is used for the intake, it may be necessary to
adjust the primary air shutter. 1. OUTSIDE: Slip the
one end of a liner a mini- mum of 2" over the sleeve of the air terminal. Secure using 3 screws. Then seal the joint and screw heads with high temperature sealant. Re- peat with the other liner.
NOTE: We recommend that the other end of the exhaust liner be marked to eliminate the exhaust liner being con- nected to the intake collar at the unit.
2.Gently stretch the liners to the required lengths and in- sert into the chimney. Trim and fit the flashing plate to suit the chimney termination. Place the air terminal onto the top of the chimney. Make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied). Fasten to the chimney with screws and plugs (not supplied).
3.INSIDE: Remove the securing screw from the front of the vent mounting plate. Pull the vent mounting plate only, back into the track, to the front stop. Start the slider back into position.
4.Route the flex liners through the slider. Attach and secure the liners to the vent mounting plate using the same proce- dure as before, ensuring that the marked exhaust liner is attached to the exhaust collar.
