B. Installing Vent Components
1. Attach the First Vent Component to the
Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component to the starting
collars of the fireplace:
Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) bead of stove cement
around the fireplace inner vent starting collar.
Make sure that the fireplace rope gasket supplied
with the fireplace seals between the first
vent component and the outer fireplace wrap.
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.
The first 90° elbow installed in the vent system of a
rear venting fireplace
MUST BE
in a vertical posi-
tion.
1. Apply the stove ce-
ment.
2. Line up the internal
beads and rotate the
pipe sections clock-
wise until locked.
3. Lock the vent compo-
nents into place.
4. Check the seal on the
rope gasket.
