Vent Restrictors
General
When air is heated within a firebox it raises into the vent system. This rising air creates a pressure
difference within the system, which is called draft. To ensure proper combustion and safety the draft
within a system must be between lower and upper limits. Generally as the length of the vent system
is increased the draft increases and can reach unacceptable levels. The vent kit restrictor is provided
to limit the draft at the firebox when using different length vent systems on a top vent stove. It is very
important that a qualified gas tradesman checks and ensures the unit is venting properly.
WARNING: IMPROPER VENTING CAN CAUSE UNSAFE OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE,
ENSURE THAT A QUALIFIED LICENSED TRADESMAN INSTALLS AND CHECKS THE
SYSTEM FOR PROPER VENTING AND DRAFT CONDITIONS.
The owner’s manual provides charts to guide the installer in choosing the correct restrictor for each
individual installation.
INSTALLATION
1) Install the restrictor at the top of the vent pipe just below the high wind vent cap. This is to
allow you to change it if necessary without disassembly of the entire system.
2) Choose the vent restrictor according to the charts provided in the owners manual
3) Bend tabs on vent restrictor so restrictor fits snugly in vent pipe ,place the corner of the
restrictor in the groove approximately 3” down from the top of the pipe, slide the restrictor
down until the opposite corner “clips” into the groove in the pipe as shown in picture #1.
4) Place a small tack of high temperature silicon on each corner of the restrictor to ensure it
will stay in place and not rattle. See picture #2
5) Install the high wind vent cap and check to ensure all vent connections are seating
properly.
6) Carefully light the appliance several times and ensure there is no flame lifting or
“ghosting”. Carefully monitor the flame and ensure the air adjustment is correct to provide
the desired flame and proper burning efficiency.
