•The damper should be removed if possible, or sealed in the open position if removal is impossible.

•A seal must be provided so that room air is not drawn into the fireplace and up the chimney, reduc- ing draft. The Vermont Castings Flex Connector System provides a convenient method for making the required seal and offers a flexible stainless steel chimney connector which can be bent to allow pas- sage through most narrow damper openings.

NOTE: Do not vent your Vermont Castings stove into a factory-built (zero-clearance) fireplace. Zero- clearance fireplaces and their chimneys are specifi- cally designed as a unit for use as fireplaces. It may void the listing or be hazardous to adapt them for any other use.
