• Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) bead of stove cement
around the inner pipe fireplace starting collar.
• Make sure that the fireplace rope gasket supplied
with the fireplace seals between the first 8-5/8 inch

• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the
concentric pipe sections with four (4) equally
spaced interior beads into the fireplace collar or
previously installed component end with four (4)
equally spaced indented sections.
• When the internal beads of each outer pipe line up,
rotate the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter
(1/4) turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.

ment.
2. Line up the internal
beads and rotate the
pipe sections clock-
wise until locked.
