2. CONNECTING THE VENT PIPE
The damper of the masonry or factory-built chimney
may have to be removed to allow installation of the
flexible vent pipe.
Before installing the 3 flex vent pipe, mark or label
the exhaust pipe at both ends.
Install the 3 flexible vent pipes down through the
chimney. Remove the starting collar bracket from the
top of the appliance. See Figure 1. Attach and secure
the bottom ends of the flex pipes to the starting collar
bracket with three sheet metal screws on each collar.
Attach the labeled pipe to the exhaust collar on the
starter collar bracket.
Place the insert on the hearth and carefully slide it
into the fireplace. Be sure the gas line enters the
appliance through the gas access opening and that
the electrical cord is hanging out of the front of the
fireplace.
Figure 1 - Removing the Starter Collar
This fireplace has been altered to
accommodate an insert and
should be inspected by a qualified
person prior to reuse as a
conventional fireplace.
Note:
The above label, located in the instruction pack-
age, must be affixed to the existing fireplace prior to
installation of the NOVi35 Direct Vent Gas-Fired Heater.
Position any excess flex vent pipe back up into the
chimney. Slide the collar bracket under the lances.
See Figure 2. Using the handle on the collar bracket,
pull the collar bracket and slide the appliance back.
Secure the collar bracket with the two screws removed
earlier.
Attach the pipe-to-cap adapter 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. Attach the labeled
vent pipe to the labeled collar on the termination. See
Figure 3.
Figures 4 and 5 show typical installations of the
appliance.
Note:
To avoid down drafts 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 installed.

CAUTION:
For vertically terminated installations, metal tape at
each vent joint will help prevent excess air infiltration
and improve flame appearance. All joints above the
storm collar should be taped and/or sealed with
silicone caulk to prevent water penetration.
