When using the co-linear venting adapter kit (50-2982) the Q1GI may be installed and vented into any
solid fuel fireplace that has been installed in accordance with the National, Provincial/State and local
building codes and has been constructed of noncombustible materials. Please reference the information
in Table 8 and Figures 38. 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 (3” flex conversion piece and 4”x 6 5/8” cap) from the following approved products; Simpson
Dura-Vent (Direct Vent GS). 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 Q1GI 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.
