top of the chimney.

Pacific Energy highly recommends the use of a full liner as the safest installation and providing opti-
mum performance. When connected to a full liner, the Insert is able to draft correctly and will prevent
problems such as difficult start-ups and smoking out the door.
Full Flue Liner -(Required in Canada)
In Canada: This fireplace insert must be installed with a
continuous chimney liner of 5 1/2”(140mm) to 6”(150mm)
diameter extending from the fireplace insert to the top of
the chimney. The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3
requirements of CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems
for Existing Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents,
or, CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New
Masonry Chimneys.
1. Measure the chimney height from the top of the existing
flue to the floor of the hearth. This will allow extra length
of liner for flashing and rain cap.
2. Feed the stainless steel liner from top of the chimney,
through the damper area and into the fireplace cavity.
3. Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner. Attach
the NEO Insert removable flue collar to the chimney con-
nector using 3 stainless steel screws.
4. Push the Insert into position inside the fireplace and attach
the flue collar to the opening in the top of the insert firebox
with. Use the rear adjusting legs to level the Insert.
Note: It is necessary to get access to the connector and
removable flue collar through the flue outlet of the Insert, the
baffle should be removed (see Baffle Removal section page 8).
5. Measure, trim and shape a top flashing to fit the existing
chimney flue. Plan for a 1”(25mm) to 1-1/2”(38mm) overlap
on each side. Place flashing over top of the liner and seat firmly against the tile.
6. Screw flashing collar to liner. Caulk gap around flashing with RTV silicone.
7. Attach a rain cap to the end of the liner. A storm collar may be used if desired.
