While the liners must be continuous from the appliance 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 tall exterior chimneys, be wrapped in a protective sleeve to mini- mize condensation and reverse flow symptoms. See Trouble Shooting for details.

This appliance is approved for use with a 2" liner for air intake and a 3" liner for exhaust. For best performance, however, 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.
