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.
