INSERT VENT CONNECTION
Move the insert close to its final position inside the wood- burning fireplace. This unit is equipped with 6 levelling screws located as follows: two are on either side of the circulation blower on the rear panel; four are located front and back on either side beneath the log support. Level using four of the levelling screws. See Figure 1a. Levelling the unit will eliminate rocking or excessive noise when the fan is in operation. Once the unit is level, move it partially into place within the fireplace to allow for all connections to be made. It is not practical to level the insert once it has been installed. Determine the required depth prior to in- stalling the unit and adjust the four levelling screws accord- ingly.
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 aluminium coupler, provided installation is sealed & secured.
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.
This unit 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 is necessary to
adjust the primary air shutter. See "Air Shutter Settings". 1. OUTSIDE: Slip the
one end of a liner a
2.Gently stretch the liners to the required lengths and in- sert into the chimney. Place the terminal onto the top of the chimney cap and fit the flashing plate to suit. Make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied) and fasten to the chimney with screws and plugs (not supplied).
3.NOTE: If there is not enough ceiling height between the fireplace and the insert to allow the flexliner connection on the top of the unit to be made, proceed to step 4.
If there is enough ceiling height, connect the 3" stainless steel flexliner to the exhaust collar closest to the top front on the unit. See figure 1c. Connect the intake flexliner to the remaining rear collar. Secure and seal.

4.Both the log support and the back wall must be removed in order to gain access to the vent connection assembly. Both the back wall and log support are detached by remov- ing the 12 perimeter screws of the back wall and the 3 screws located at the back of the log support. Remove the vent connection assembly.
NOTE: The vent connection assembly collars are not spe- cific until the stainless steel flexliner has been attached to one side. This now designates the side as exhaust. The exhaust collar must be positioned closest to the front open- ing of the insert. SEE FIGURE 1c. Secure and seal the flexliners.
