NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
CAUTION
If propane is used, be aware that with a tank that is too small (i.e., under 100 lbs, if this
is the only gas appliance in the dwelling—see NPFA 58), there may be a loss of pressure.
This can result in insufficient fuel delivery that can cause sooting, delayed ignition, or other
malfunctions. Any damage resulting from an improper installation is not covered by the
limited warranty.

1.

VENT SYSTEM PREPARATION
5.
Select a Horizontal or Vertical Vent System
1.
With the fireplace secured in the framing, determine the vent route and identify the exterior termination location.
The following sections describe vertical (roof) and horizontal (exterior wall) vent applications. Use only approved
vent components (
Page 9
and
Page 47
).
NOTE:
This fireplace must be vented directly to the outside.
WARNING
The vent system may not service multiple appliances, and must never be connected to a flue
serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.
NOTE:
The vent pipe is tested to be run inside an enclosed wall (such as a chase). There is no requirement for
inspection openings in the enclosing wall at any of the joints in the vent pipe.
6.
Install the Vent Restrictor (if necessary)
1.
Use the vent run descriptions in
Figure 12
to determine if a vent restrictor is necessary.
2.
If necessary, assemble the vent restrictor and wings as detailed in
Figure 13
and
Figure 14
.
3.
If necessary, install the appropriate vent restrictor with the flaps facing up (
Figure 13
). The vent restrictor is held in
place by friction. The vent restrictor must not be visible inside the firebox.
NOTE:
If the baffle and back panel are installed, remove them before installing the vent restrictor.
NOTE:
The vent restrictor is shipped in the firebox.
