B. Installing Vent Components
After determining which set of starting collars will be used
(top or rear), follow venting instructions accordingly.
Venting Out the Rear Vent
Remove the installed rear seal cap from the rear starting
collars by cutting the strap at each end. (see Figure 18).
Follow the vent configuration tables accordingly.
Remove the insulation from the
REAR
five inch flue, pull
the heat shield out from outside of the firebox.
WARNING: THE TOP HEAT SHIELD (INSIDE THE
FIREBOX) MUST REMAIN ATTACHED IF THE
VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR
STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 18.
Venting Out the Top Vent
Remove the two screws in the top vent collar seal cap and
remove the top vent collar seal cap and the two pieces of
insulation inside the top two starting collars (See Figure 18).
Remove the heat shield from inside the
TOP
five inch flue
from outside of the firebox.
You have to take the glass off again for positioning the logs
when the unit is finally installed in place and finished around
it. Re-install the glass door. Attach vent system to the top
starting collars.
WARNING: FAILURE TO REMOVE INSULA-
TION IN THE SET OF COLLARS YOU ARE US-
ING COULD CAUSE A FIRE.
WARNING: THE REAR VENT COLLAR SEAL
CAP MUST REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE REAR
VENT COLLARS IF THE VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED
TO THE TOP STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 18.
WARNING: YOU MUST LEAVE THE INSULA-
TION IN PLACE IN THE SET OF COLLARS YOU
ARE NOT USING.
If your vertical vent component is over 10 feet, you may
want to install the included vertical baffle to improve flame
appearance. Vertical baffle is located in the bag containing
the instruction manual. Center the vertical baffle on the five
inch flue being used, and with self tapping screws secure
the baffle to the inside of the firebox.

1. Attach the First Vent Component to Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars
of the fireplace:
• Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5mm) bead of stove cement around
the 5 inch (127mm) fireplace starting collar.
• Make sure that the fiberglass gasket supplied with the
fireplace seals between the first 8-5/8 inch (219mm) vent
component and the outer fireplace wrap.
• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the con-
centric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior
beads into the fireplace collar or previously installed com-
ponent end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.
• When the internal beads of each 8-5/8 inch (219mm)
outer pipe line up, rotate the pipe section clockwise
about one-quarter (1/4) turn. The vent pipe is now locked
together.
• The first 90° elbow installed in the vent system of a
rear venting fireplace
MUST BE
in a vertical position.
