2.Dry fit the inner and outer pipe of the first elbow directly to the starter pipe.

3.Dry fit the Inner pipe assembly to the first elbow and determine the required vent length.

•Insert the vent assembly into the flue collar, but do not attach. Measure to determine the correct length required for your installation and cut the upper end of the pipe as necessary.

•Dry fit the outer vent section and cut to match the height of the Inner assembly.

•Side Wall Terminations: Dry fit the inner elbow with the vertical inner vent and confirm the centerline alignment with the wall thimble opening.

4.Attach the elbow to the starter pipe.

•Run a bead of sealant about 1/2” from end of the starter pipe and attach the assembly to the stove using three 1/4-20 x 3/8” Phillips screws provided in the parts bag. (Fig. 29)

5.Install the first elbow and secure using three sheet metal screws. Insert the elbow over the stove flue collar. Also, be sure to align holes on the pipe with the holes on the flue collar of the firebox. Fasten the pipe to the holes in the flue collar with the #12 x 1/2” sheet metal screws provided. (Fig. 30)
