RESTRICTOR INSTALLATION
The restrictor plate included in the fireplace components
packet can be installed as either a large or small restrictor,
depending on your specific vertical venting configuration.
There are several factors which can affect proper draft of the
vent system and the burner operation of a fireplace. Installing
a restrictor may be necessary to resolve the problem, even
though it may not be required under „normal conditions‟.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT INSTALL IF THE VENTING
CONFIGURATION
IS AT THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS!
The restrictor included is sized as the „large‟ restrictor, Figure
6A. To reduce the size to the small restrictor, simply bend the
section without the tabs off at the perforation and discard,
Figure 6B.
To install the restrictor, refer to Figures 7A & 7B and bend the tabs „up‟ far enough (approximately 80-degrees) so that
when positioned into the exhaust pipe, will create tension to hold itself in place. Do not over bend the tabs! Slide the
restrictor into the exhaust pipe with the tabs pointing toward you. Access to the exhaust pipe can be gained by remov-
ing the nuts securing the exhaust baffle inside the firebox at the top.
IMPORTANT: REPLACE THE EXHAUST BAFFLE AFTER RESTRICTOR INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN THE NUTS!
