This fireplace is certified to work with aluminium co-axial flex venting. Flex venting can be used in the
same configurations as rigid pipe, see venting diagram for details. Flex venting is only to be used for the
run, it must be adapted to rigid piping for exterior wall penetration and termination. Note: Adhere to all
rigid venting safety measures and clearances.
Use 5X8 Flex Adapter Kit [50-3789]: This kit will allow
you to adapt co-axial flex to the fireplace, make your
vent run, then adapt back to rigid venting
(flex not
included).

INSTALLATION NOTES:
•
Do not bend flex vent over 90 degrees.
• All horizontal runs should have a minimum 1/4” (6mm) rise per foot for optimal performance.
•
Do not allow the inner flex pipe to contact the outer pipe, keep it pulled tight and use spacer
springs.
• Spacers are required at the start, middle, and end of each elbow to ensure gap is maintained.
• Do not add any extensions to the preset kits, if more length is required, use rigid pipe.
•
No need for liquid sealant; secure flex venting with aluminum vent tape and apply sufficient
self-tapping screws.
Any
5X8
CSA or UL flue gas certified aluminum or stainless
steel flex is acceptable. Proper spacers must be used to
keep pipes from contacting each other. Proper venting
spacers must be used, nothing makeshift. Examples of
allowable flex pipe brands include, but are not limited to,
the following:
• M&G Duravent
• Selkirk Corp
• ICC
• Z-Flex
• Flexmaster
• Chim Flex
• Olympia
• BDM
• Metal-Fab
Only the flex venting and spacers are
needed. You must use the flex adapter kit
and a certified rigid pipe termination cap.
