INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the requirements
of your local inspection authority.
A full flue liner
is required.
A full flue liner is a stainless steel rigid or flexible
liner pipe which is routed from the insert outlet collar
to the top of the chimney.
Flush Inserts
Full Flue Liner
(No Cleanout Required)
The use of this connection method listed on this
page not only increases the safety of your insert
by directing the hot gases up the flue, but will also
help increase the unit's efficiency and decrease
creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected flue or liner is in use, the insert
is able to “breathe” better by allowing a greater
draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease
problems such as, difficult start-ups, smoking out
the door, and dirty glass.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures
in the appliance and may cause damage. An un-
controllable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back
puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak
smoke into the room through appliance and chim-
ney connector joints. Ensure the heater is installed
in areas that are not too close to neighbors or in
valleys that would cause unhealthy air quality or
nuisance conditions.
STEP-BY-STEP
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1. When installed in a factory built fireplace, a
full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner is
mandatory, for both safety and performance
purposes. When a flue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to breathe better by allowing a
greater draft to be created. The greater draft
can decrease problems such as, difficult start-
ups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
2. In order to position the flue liner, the existing
rain cap must be removed from your chimney
system. In most cases the flue damper should
also be removed to allow passage of the liner.
3. In most cases opening the existing spark
screens fully should give enough room for the
insert installation. If it does not, remove and
store.
4. If the floor of your fireplace is below the level
of the fireplace opening, adjust the insert's
levelling bolts to accommodate the difference.
When additional shimming is required, use
non-combustible masonry or steel shims.
5. Measure approximately the alignment of the
flue liner with the position of the smoke outlet
hole on the insert to check for possible offset.
If an offset is required, use a proper stainless
steel unit available with the chimney liner.
6. Once the above items have been checked, slide
your insert into position after first positioning
the flue liner and offset if required. (Re-install
rain cap at completion of installation).
NOTE: Refer to "Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built Fire-
places" section for the requirements
for installing solid fuel inserts in factory
built fireplaces.
Prior to sliding your insert into its final position and
attaching the connector or liner pipe, the faceplate
side panel plates must be installed as follows:
