UNIT INSTALLATION

HORIZONTAL TERMINATION

WITH 5" X 8" FLEX VENT SYSTEM

Note: 5" x 8" venting is limited to vent configurations found on page 17 of this manual.

Note: A top clearance of 2"(51mm) and side

&bottom clearance of 1-1/2"(38mm) must be maintained; except when passing through a wall, ceiling, or at the termination where the use of a firestop or wall thimble reduces the required clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm). We recommend framing a 11"(279mm) x 11"(279mm) (inside dimensions) hole to give structural rigidity for mounting the termination.

1)Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the gas (preferably on the right side of the unit). Locate the centerline of the termination and mark wall accordingly. Cut an 11"(279mm) hole in the wall (inside dimension).

Note: If installing termination on a siding covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or vinyl furring strips must be used

on top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble half to the inside wall. The thimble halves slip inside each other and can be adjusted for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls.

5)Slip the assembled liner and termination assembly through the thimble making sure the termination cap faces up (there are markings on the cap that show which way is up). This will position the termination cap with proper down slope for draining water. Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4 supplied screws.

6)Pull the centre 5"(127mm) liner and outer 8"(203mm) liner out enough to slip over the flue collars of the fireplace. (You may wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more workable.) Do not bend liner more than 90o. The liners must slip over the collars a minimum of 1-3/8".

7)Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar and slip the 5"(127mm) liner down over it and attach with 3 supplied screws.

8)Do the same with the 8"(203mm) liner.

9)Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble and termination and around the outer edge of the terminal at the wall in order to keep the water out.

IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or ice buildup may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination area.

to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.

2)Level the fireplace and fasten it to the fram- ing using nails or screws through the nailing strips.

3)Assemble the vent assembly by applying Mill Pac to the 5"(127mm) inner collar of the termination and slipping the 5"(127mm) liner over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make this easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temperature silicone to the 8"(203mm) flex pipe and slip it over the 8" outer collar of the vent terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm) and fasten with the 3 screws.

NOTE: Horizontal sections must be sup- ported at intervals not exceeding 3 feet (0.9 meter). (Flame picture and performance will be affected by sags in the liner).

4)Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and securely fasten the one with the tabs to the outside wall making sure that the tabs are
