Installing the Firebox

1.  If appropriate, use 3” flexible noncombustible 

duct to connect an outside air inlet to the air inlet 

collar at the back of the firebox.

2.  With assistance, move the firebox into position 

within the fireplace and align the insert flue collar 

with the Adaptor Collar. 

3.  Attach the flue connector pipe. Use a 1/8” bit to 

drill attachment holes into connector pipe at the 

three pilot hole locations in the firebox flue collar. 

Secure the flue connector pipe using three,  

#10  x 1/2” sheet metal screws.

4.  Adjust the position of the Firebox to ensure that 

the Surround Panel Hangers are flush with, or 

slightly proud of, the outside face of the fireplace. 

If the Hangers are set back from the face, you will 

be unable to engage the Surround Hanger Clips 

with the holes in the Hangers.
