Installation
CAUTION: Do not replace the grille from the FD-V with
shutters. Do not allow heat to be trapped in the gravity
vent system.
1. Plan the gravity vent run first. Be aware that the maxi-
mum actual pipe length between the top of the fireplace
and the outlet is 15 feet. There is no maximum number
of elbows in a run, but the run must never go in a
downward direction as this can trap heat in the gravity
vent system.
2. The grille adapter is designed to be installed
underneath the gypsum board in the wall. Frame a 13"
x 13" hole to accept the gravity vent grille adapter in the
desired location. Fit the gravity vent grille adapter into
the framed hole and fasten it into place with nails or
screws. If you are installing the outlet in an already
finished area, you must remove the gypsum board and
frame a 13" x 13" hole in the existing framing, in order to
arm are both on the outside of the starter section and
that the rod has fit snugly into the slot. A definite ten-
sion should exist between the shut-off damper rod and
the starter section. Replace the louvers. The damper
rod should protrude above the top of the louvers.
Warning: If you are blocking off the upper louvers of the
OPEL 2000, do not install the shut-off dampers.
7. Install the B-vent pipe between the B-vent starter and
the grille adapter. Fasten each joint with 3 screws (if the
B-vent pipe manufacturer allows this in its instruction
manual). Insert the B-vent pipe in the grille adapter and
fasten it with three screws. The B-vent pipe needs only
to be inserted into the adapter enough to be able to
screw it in place. This allows you about 3 1/2" of play.
8. Once the wall facing around the gravity vent grille
adapter has been completed, install the grille with the
supplied screws. The gravity vent is now ready for
operation.

meet the required clearances.
3. Remove the outer cover to the left,
right, or both sides of the flue outlet,
on the OPEL 2000.
4. Cut the insulation to the size of
the opening and remove the cover
plate underneath (it is taped in
place).
5. Install the B-vent starter section.
The slot in the B-vent starter sec-
tion should be facing the front and
the hole should be facing the back.
Bend up the four tabs at the base of
the starter section to hold it in place.
6. Install the shut-off damper at the
base of the starter section. The shut-
off damper enables the manual
control of hot air flowing through the
gravity vent pipe. With the top louver
removed, and the angular portion of
the rod in hand, insert the damper
rod into the hole in the starter sec-
tion. Next, make sure that the
washer and spring on the control
