17.  To attach the vent connections at the fireplace, be sure the 7” 

diameter adapter collar has been installed per step #3. Apply 

a bead of silicone sealant to the 4” diameter flex connector, 

then slide the flex pipe adapter collar into the fireplace flue 

collar and secure by installing a minimum of two (2) screws 

through the flue collar and into the adapter. 

See Figure 5.

18.  Apply sealant to the 7” diameter adapter collar, slide outer 

flex vent over the collar, then secure with a 7” diameter band 

clamp. 

See Figure 5.

19.  Once  the  lower  connections  are  made  and  the  flex  pipe  is 

secured with support bands as required (3 foot minimum be-

tween supports) then the roof flashing can be installed.

 See 

Figure 6.

20.  Install  the  roof  flashing,  and  seal  using  common  construc-

tions practices.

21.  An additional storm collar band is provided in kit that may be 

used as an attic insulation shield. The collar can be installed 

around  the  flex  pipe  (or  hard  pipe)  just  above  the  firestop 

thimble. This collar will act as a shield to prevent blown in-

sulation from entering the thimble.

22.  To complete the vent installation, install the vent termination 

cap to the top of the hard vent pipe assembly. Mate up the flue 

and outer telescopes with the hard pipe assembly, then secure 

by installing a minimum of two (2) sheet metal screws into 

the overlapped flanges of the cap and pipe.

identified and other installation information such as heights 

and clearance to combustibles.
