VENT SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION
Figure 1
Begin the vent system installation by selecting the type of venting
to be installed and the path that it will take. Verify that clearances
are met throughout the path of the venting system. Determine if the
fireplace is to be vented out the top or out the rear.
NOTICE:
Some fireplaces cannot be vented out the rear of the
fireplace.
Determine how the vent system will be terminated out the side of
the house or through the roof. Verify clearances for the termination.
