Your fireplaces can operate using a natural vent or power vent system (50-3883).

Natural Vent (Rigid): 4” X 6 5/8” venting system

Natural Vent (Flex): 4" X 7" aluminum flex venting system

Power Vent: 3" X 5" CVS Duravent piping ONLY

See power vent kit for further information.

Follow the venting instructions for safe and proper operation of the appliance. Deviation from the minimum vertical

length can create difficulty in burner start-up and sooting.

Allow several minutes for the flame to stabilize after ignition under extreme vent configurations. It is recommended for

vent lengths that pass through unheated spaces (garages, attics, crawl spaces) be insulated to minimize condensation.

Use at least 3 screws at each vent connection. Check periodically that the vents are unrestricted, especially the exterior

vent cap.

Venting Considerations:

1. A power vent system should be considered for extreme weather areas (wind, cold).

2. 12" minimum vertical rise before an elbow does not apply to power vent units.

3. Flex venting is intended for use with simple vent configurations.

4. Use a snorkle termination for more draft (if needed).

WARNING:

•

Follow venting instructions exactly for safe and
proper appliance operation.

•

Use aluminum tape for all venting connections.

•

Risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation if improper
venting setup.

•

Risk of fire, do not allow loose materials or insulation
to contact vent pipe. Remove insulation to allow
installation of thimble and maintain clearances to
combustible materials.
