REAR VENT CONVERSION
Converting flue take-off to rear venting
When switching out the flue and inlet vent collars to run horizontally
off the rear vent, the following steps must be taken.
1. Remove the inlet vent collar (8 screws) and flue collar (4 screws)
from the top of the fireplace, and set to the side.
2. Remove the inlet cover plate and flue cover plate located on
the back of the fireplace. These will be used to close the top
flue and inlet openings.
3. Insert the insulation retainer bracket and insulation into the top
flue pipe before reinstalling the flue cover plate over the top
flue with 4 screws.
4. Reinstall the inlet cover plate over the top inlet opening with 4
screws. See illustration above.
5. Install the flue collar assembly to the rear flue with 4 screws.
6. Install the inlet vent collar to the rear of the fireplace with 8
screws.
7. This completes the conversion for a rear vent application.
WARNING
For top vented installations, the insulation and retainer must
be removed from the flue pipe and discarded. Failure to do so
will cause the fireplace to malfunction and shut off.
