WARNING: DO NOT FORCE
COLLAR ATTACHMENT INTO
PLACE. THE FIREPLACE IS MADE
OF A FRAGILE MATERIAL, AND
MAY BREAK. READJUST FLEXI-
BLE VENT PIPES IF NECESSARY.
Attach the pipe-to-cap adaptor to the
termination cap and to the top of the
flexible vent pipe and set the cap in place
at the top of the chimney. See Figures 3,
4 and 5.
CAUTION: TO AVOID DOWNDRAFTS
AND/OR COLD AIR PROBLEMS, IT IS
RECOMMENDED TO SEAL OFF THE
AREA BETWEEN THE TERMINATION
CAP AND THE TOP OF THE SOLID-
FUEL CHIMNEY OPENING INTO
WHICH THE VENT CAP HAS BEEN IN-
STALLED.
WHEN USING THE LINK-DV4-3O VENT
SYSTEM, IT IS REQUIRED TO SEAL
AROUND THE FLEXIBLE VENT PIPES
IN THE DAMPER AREA. SEE FIGURE
3. USE FIBERGLASS INSULATION OR
OTHER SUITABLE NON-COMBUSTI-
BLE MATERIAL.
WARNING: MAJOR U.S.
BUILDING CODES SPECIFY
MINIMUM CHIMNEY AND/OR VENT
HEIGHT ABOVE THE ROOF TOP.
THESE MINIMUM HEIGHTS ARE
NECESSARY IN THE INTEREST OF
SAFETY. SEE THE FOLLOWING
DIAGRAM FOR MINIMUM HEIGHTS,
PROVIDED THE TERMINATION CAP
IS AT LEAST 2-FEET FROM A VER-
TICAL WALL AND 2-FEET BELOW
A HORIZONTAL OVERHANG.
NOTE:
This also pertains to vertical vent
systems installed on the outside of the
building.
