When installing the venting please take note of the
following:
1. A masonry chimney or other approved
venting system must be clean and inspected
for any damage which might make it unsafe.
Chimney must be constructed of non
combustible material.
2. Any chimney clean-outs must be tight fitting
as to minimize air leaks into the chimney.
3. Any flue damper must be blocked open or
removed to provide a minimum opening of
13 square inches and must not distort the
liner.
4. The liner is to be inserted from the top of the
chimney and through the damper opening.
5. The draft hood is to be removed from the
fireplace insert and attached to the liner using
(4) sheet metal screws and a clamp
(See
Figure 1)
. It may not be necessary to remove
the draft hood if there is sufficient space in
the solid fuel fireplace to attach the liner with
the draft hood in place 19” is required.
6. If the lintel is wider than 12” (305mm) then
the height of the solid fuel fireplace must be
at least 25” (63.5 cm) to allow for an offset
elbow.
(See Figure 2). If providing an
offset, do not collapse the flex pipe. This
will restrict the vent and cause a red flame
which will produce soot on glass.
7. If however the draft hood must be removed
then it must first be attached to the liner using
three (3) sheet metal screws and a clamp. The
fireplace insert can then be slid into place and
the draft hood should be located so that the
screw on the locating bracket mates with the
hole on the top centre front of the insert. The
locating bracket should be pulled as far
forward as it will go and be bolted into place
(a flashlight should be used to confirm that
the draft hood is flat on the top of the unit.
Once the draft hood is in place a long screw
driver or piece of rod must be used to rotate
the locking brackets so that the lock over top
the flanges on the side of the draft hood.
