(USA Only) Venting into an Existing Chimney
This pellet insert may be installed into a masonry fireplace (built to UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards) or a factory-built fireplace (built
to UL 127 or ULC S610 standards). When installing into a masonry chimney, it is recommended that the exhaust vent be extended
to the top of the chimney. However, if the vent pipe does not extend to the top of the chimney, the vent must extend a minimum
of 18” above the damper. You must seal the damper area so that the air / exhaust in the chimney cannot communicate with
the air in the fireplace firebox. This is a positive flue connection.
(US and Canada) Direct Connection / Positive Flue Connection
In Canada, this appliance requires a full reline when installing into a masonry fireplace. In the USA, as a minimum the vent
connector from the insert flue outlet must extend a minimum of 18” above the damper and the damper area must be sealed to
prevent dilution air from entering the chimney, which will affect proper drafting of the appliance.

Combustible clearances for the insert portion from panel back into wall are 2”'94 from side walls and 2”'94 above hopper. These
are minimum clearances and we recommend adding some space for maintenance or servicing the insert.
If vertical venting always calculate for added depth depending on venting manufacturers requirements. Make sure all clearances
to combustibles are met and maintained.
Recommend that power source of outlet have in line switch or shut off if located behind panel.
You must use a non combustible material to fill further hearth requirements such as masonry board, tile or masonry products,
also make sure to adjust framing height from top of finished material used on top of ZC FLOOR PROTECTOR. Floor protection
must be securely attached to the floor. See hearth protection page ___
