REAR VENT CONVERSION

Converting ﬂue take-off to rear venting

When switching out the ﬂue and inlet vent collars to run horizontally

off the rear vent, the following steps must be taken.
1. Remove the inlet vent collar (8 screws) and ﬂue collar (4 screws)

from the top of the ﬁreplace, and set to the side.

2. Remove the inlet cover plate and ﬂue cover plate located on the

back of the ﬁreplace. These will be used to close the top ﬂue

and inlet openings.

3. Insert the insulation retainer bracket and insulation into the top

ﬂue pipe before reinstalling the ﬂue cover plate over the top ﬂue

with 4 screws.

4. Reinstall the inlet cover plate over the top inlet opening with 4

screws. See illustration above..

5. Install the ﬂue collar assembly to the rear ﬂue with 4 screws.

6. Install the inlet vent collar to the rear of the ﬁreplace with 8

screws.

7. This completes the conversion for a rear vent application.

Note: for top vented installations, the insulation and retainer are

to be removed from the ﬂue pipe and discarded.
