Just as with any other vented device, vertical vent rise
creates draft (negative pressure) in the firebox as the
exhaust gases heat up. If this draft becomes excessive,
it can affect the performance or appearance of the
fire. The SÓLAS Gas Fireplace includes an integrated
air restrictor that can used to balance the draft in the
fireplace to the optimal level for installations where
excessive draft might occur. The SÓLAS Gas Fireplace
will ship from the factory with the air restrictor set to the
#1 position. If the licensed fireplace installer determines
that draft reduction is necessary, loosen the fastener on
the dial and make small adjustments from #1 to #4 until a
satisfactory result has been achieved.
The air restrictor dial is located on the flue side of the
firebox when viewed from the front. To access, remove
the lower air screen and side panels. Once satisfied
with the air restrictor adjustment, secure its position by
tightening all hardware.

SÓLAS Flue Restrictor Kit, Part #11210
Some vent configurations may create excess
draft within the fireplace. Excess draft can cause
issues such as a rapid, or “nervous" flame picture,
undesirable flame color, or pilot lifting which may
prevent the fireplace from staying lit. In these
circumstances it may be necessary to install the flue
restrictor kit part #11210 in the venting system. It is
permissible to install this restrictor at the vent cap
should the venting system already be installed.
Secure the restrictor plate with the included #10
sheet metal screws.
SÓLAS FORTY8 Flue Baffle Kit, Part #11273
Certain vent configurations for the SÓLAS FORTY8,
particularly those with a significant amount of vertical
in relation to the amount of horizontal vent pipe, may
cause the flame to be unbalanced, or biased toward
the flue outlet side of the fireplace. Installation of this
flue baffle, part #11273, will help to resolve this issue.
It may be necessary to use this restrictor on its own,
or in addition to the SÓLAS flue restrictor kit, part
#11317 shown above. This flue baffle kit snaps into
the fireplace as shown below. For use in FORTY8
Slim-Line Built-In Models only.
