An approved chimney liner and rain cap must be used. A throat connector or flashing
must be installed to
ensure a tight seal, top performance, safety and efficiency. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions
that accompany the chimney liner kit. Use double walled aluminum flex vent from either M&G DuraVent
DirectVent Pro or ICC Excel Direct (see table 6). If necessary, remove the vent collar plate from the top
of the insert and connect it securely to the liner with sheet metal screws.
Check for any tears in the liner at this point. IMPORTANT: The screws that hold the vent collar plate in its
approved position must be installed.
NOTE: If the E33 unit is pulled out of its installation, and the vent air intake system is disconnected
for any reason, ensure that the vent-air intake pipes are re-sealed with high-temperature sealant and

reconnected with three (3) sheet metal screws evenly spaced.
The height for the vent must be between 8 ft (2.44 m) and 30 ft (9.14 m).
Install a sealed vent cap to prevent leakage of room air up through chimney.
The intake and the exhaust are 3" (76mm).
Measure the height of the chimney beforehand and purchase the appropriate
venting. Never attempt to over-stretch a flexible liner to accommodate the
height of the chimney. Every joint in the venting must be secured with three (3)
#8 x 3/8” HWH sheet metal screws and an appropriate sealant (either silicone
or stove cement).
The flue damper must be fully blocked using a non-combustable seal off plate;
the smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by
mechanical fasteners.
The air intake liner must extend a minimum of 12” above the seal off plate.
The exhaust liner must connect to the termination.
The fireplace and fireplace chimney must be clean, in good working order and
constructed of non-combustible materials.
Make sure that all chimney cleanouts are tight fitting and will not permit air to
leak into the chimney. It must be completely sealed.
