Begin the vent system installation by selecting the type of venting
to be installed and the path it will take. Verify clearances are met
throughout the path of the venting system.
NOTICE:
Some fireplaces cannot be vented out the rear of the
fireplace.
Determine how the vent system will be terminated out the
side of the house or through the roof. Verify clearances for the
termination.
When selecting a vent system for use with the fireplace, refer to
the “Special Vent Systems” section in this manual to determine
what systems are acceptable. Check all clearances and venting
components. Identify if any problems exist in the vent system.
Use
Figure 44
on page 27 for top venting to eliminate issues
after installation. Check pipe diameter on vent system and
fireplace to verify the size is the same.
NOTICE
: All outer connection joints must be sealed with
aluminum tape, screws or silicone sealant rated above
300°F/149°C. The inner flue joints do not require any sealant.
