Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars
of the fireplace:
• Slide the first vent section onto the unit and push in until
they snap lock in position.
• Rotate this section to the desired position.
• Using the two tabs provided on the elbow cover plate,
secure the first section of venting to the fireplace with
two screws.

This fireplace comes ready to vent horizontally.
•
To vent off the unit vertically, the elbow cover plate must
first be removed from the unit (see Figure 20).
•
The elbow can be removed from the unit by aligning the
seams of the elbow to the arrows on the surrounding
heat shield (see Figure 21).
•
Position the elbow in the vertical position. Snap in place
with the starting collar.
•
Replace the elbow cover plate aligning it with the elbow
and secure in place with the 8 screws.
•
Place rope ring around the first section of pipe and slide
it up against the cover plate.
NOTE
: The rope ring is required for the heat manage-
ment and to prevent cold air infiltration.

FLUE
RESTRICTOR
Venting Out Vertically
If your vertical vent component is over 4 feet, you may want
to install the flue restrictor (located in the bag containing
the install manual) to improve flame appearance. Center
the flue restrictor on the 5” flue being used, and with self
tapping screws secure the restrictor to the inside of the
firebox as shown in Figure 22.
