Prefabricated Fireplace Vent Procedure
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.
CAUTION: AVOID CROSS-VENTING THE FLEX PIPE.
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.
Final Positioning
1. Blower Power Cord:
Extend the blower power cord out forward of the
fireplace, routing it to the nearest power source.
Measured from the fireplace center line, It can extend
up to 5 1/2 feet to the right, and up to 3 1/2 feet to the
left.
A 10 foot long extension cord is available from your
Scan dealer, PN 223253.
2. Level and Plumb the Cabinet:
With the fireplace cabinet in its final position, con-
firm that it is level and plumb.
Adjust the leg levelers at each corner as appropri
-
ate to fine-tune the level up to 1/2”. If a greater height
increase is required, the brackets can be lowered in
1/2” increments to raise the cabinet up to 2 1/2”.
