Prefabricated Fireplace Vent Installation

1.  Measure height of the chimney to fireplace open-

ing.  Determine if both the intake and exhaust will 

be extended to the top of the chimney.

2.  Cut the appropriate lengths of flex for both the 

intake and exhaust.

3.  If the intake flex will be attached to the chimney 

termination kit: Attach the appropriate ends of the 

flex to the chimney termination kit. Label the end 

of the exhaust pipe.

4.  Drop the liners down the chimney from the top 

and rest the termination kit atop the chimney.

5.  Seal the chimney termination kit to the top of the 

chimney pipe with high temperature sealant.

6.  Secure the appropriate DIRECT VENT CAP to the 

termination kit.

7.  Inside the fireplace, fully extend the flex and cut 

off the excess flex so that the liners hang approxi-

mately 15” from the floor of the fireplace.

8.  If the intake flex is NOT attached to the chimney 

termination kit:  See NOTICE on page 12.

  A. It is necessary to install a minimum 6 foot 

length of flex pipe into the flue for the intake air. 

  B.  A METAL damper block off plate must be 

constructed and installed in the damper area to 

completely seal off the flue from the room.  Cut 

holes for both the intake and exhaust liners in the 

block off plate.

  C.  A direct vent cap is still required to allow fresh 

air into the chimney flue and ultimately into the 

intake flex and insert. 

D.  Attach the Fireplace Conversion Notice to the 

back of the fireplace if appropriate.

9.  Surround panels must not block or seal any venti-

lation openings on the prefabricated fireplace.

Vent Connection

The Vent Collar Plate, located on top of the cabinet, 

is removable to ease connection of the vent liners in 

those cases where access within the fireplace is re-

stricted. Whether you are venting through a masonry 

chimney or a prefabricated chimney, the flex liner is 

connected to the insert in the same way. Use the fol-

lowing procedure.
Wear Safety Gloves!
1.  Disengage the Vent Collar tool from the top of the 

fireplace cabinet by loosening the two retainer 

screws, then sliding the tool over and up as in fig. 

8.  

2.   Remove the retainer screw  that attaches the 

Collar Plate to the cabinet top and slide the plate 

back off of the cabinet. Secure the flex liners to 

the appropriate collars on the Vent Collar Plate us-

ing sheet metal screws or hose clamps, as shown 

in fig. 9. Confirm that the liners are not cross-

vented.

3.  Position the insert, without surround panels, 

halfway inside the fireplace and engage the Vent 

Collar Plate within the rails on the cabinet top 

enough to get it started. Engage one end of the  

tool over the tabs on the flue collar plate as in 

fig. 9. Use a striking motion to hammer the collar 

plate fully forward and secure it to the cabinet 

flange using the sheet metal screw previously 

removed.

4.  Store the Vent Adaptor tool beside the insert 

cabinet inside the fireplace for future use when 

servicing the unit.

Figure 9.  

Use the tool to pull the collar plate into place.

Figure 8.  Remove the Flue Collar tool. Also, remove the 

Upper Deflector if a Cast Iron surround is to be installed.

Loosen these screws enough to disengage 

the tool, then retighten.
