D.
VERTICALLY INTO EXISTING MASONRY FIREPLACE
NOTE:
See
“VENTING”
and follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s
instructions.
1. Have the masonry chimney inspected by a quali
fi
ed chimney
sweep or installer to determine its structural condition.
2. You will need a pipe length equal to the chimney height from the
hearth. If outside combustion air is to be used, you will need a
pipe length equal to the chimney height plus 18 inches.
3. Install a blanking plate and the chimney pipe, and if used the
outside air pipe, as shown in Figure 9.
4. Attach the L-Vent adapter, a section of pipe and clean out tee,
making sure the clean out tee is centered in the chimney
fl
ue
area.
5. Position the stove, adhering to the clearances in Figures 1 & 2.
6. Measure and build chimney top plate. Cut out holes for chim-
ney pipe, and if used the outside air pipe. Install and seal with
non-hardening mastic to prevent water leakage. Install vent cap.
E.
INSTALLATION THROUGH SIDE OF MASONRY CHIMNEY
NOTE:
See
“VENTING”
and follow L-Vent chimney manufacturer’s
instructions.
1. Position the stove, adhering to the clearances in Figures 1 & 2.
Mark the center of the hole where the pipe is to pierce the mason-
ry chimney.
2. It will be necessary to break out the masonry around the location
of the pipe center mark. Use a 4-inch diameter hole for 3-inch
pipe and 5-inch diameter hole for 4-inch pipe.
3. Measure and build chimney top plate. Cut out holes for chimney
pipe, and if used the outside air pipe.
4. Install the tee on the bottom of the vertical pipe system and lower
it down the chimney until the center branch of the tee is level with
the center of the hole in the masonry, as shown in Figure 10.
5. Install and seal the top plate from step 3 with non-hardening mas-
tic. Slip the storm collar over the pipe, and while holding the pipe
at the proper elevation, af
fi
x the collar with a minimum of three
¼” stainless steel sheet metal screws. Seal all joints and seams
around the collar.
6. Connect the horizontal pipe by pushing it through the hole in the
masonry and lining it up with the branch in the tee.
Push the pipe into the tee while twisting it to lock it into the tee.
7. If desired, once the horizontal pipe is in place, the space be-
tween the pipe and masonry may be
fi
lled with
high-temperature grout.
8. Install the trim collar. An adjustable pipe length and adapter may
be needed to
fi
nish the connection to the stove.
