•  Turn off gas supply to fireplace or firebox.

•  Have the fireplace floor and chimney professionally cleaned to 

remove ashes, soot, creosote or other obstructions.

  Have this cleaning performed annually after installation.

•  Seal any fresh air vents or ash clean-out doors located on floor 

or wall of fireplace. If not, drafting may cause pilot outage or 

sooting. Use a heat-resistant sealant. Do not seal chimney flue 

damper.

Installing Damper Clamp

Remove all ashes or other debris from the fireplace. If the fireplace 

is equipped with an ash dump be sure to seal the door with furnace 

cement or high temperature silicone. Be sure to check the damper 

for proper operation and verify that the flue passageway is open. 

Attach damper clamp to the vent damper and tighten hold down bolt.

Place the clamp over the lip of the damper and tighten the hold 

down bolt until the clamp is securely attached to the damper. This 

will prevent the damper from accidentally closing.
