VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR 
INSTALLATION

The fireplace chimney flue and vent must be draft

-

ing properly. To check the vent for proper drafting: 

Light a tightly rolled newspaper on one end and 

place it at the inside front edge of the fireplace. 

Observe the smoke and be sure the vent is properly 

drawing it up the chimney. If the smoke spills out 

into the room, extinguish the flame and remove any 

obstruction until proper venting is achieved.

The chimney flue must have a minimum free air 

opening of 43" during operation of this log set. 

A damper clamp is provided to fix the damper in 

position.

The minimum flue sizes shown in Figure 2 are 

based on a 6' chimney height using round pipe. Your 

minimum flue size will vary based on input rate and 

chimney height. Refer to the 

National Fuel Gas Code 

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 6.6

, for details.

INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP

Secure the damper stop clamp to the edge of the 

damper as shown in Figure 4. If for any reason this 

clamp doesn't work on your fireplace, another suit

-

able clamp or permanent stop must be installed, or 

the damper blade must be cut or removed.
