Install the chimney sections up through the ceiling/
roof. When using the TR344 round termination

6 in. above the roof to allow installation of the
storm collar and termination cap. See Figure 17.

instructions provided with it.
Figure 16 - Air Kit Handle Location
10. Install the Outside Air Kit
The outside air kit is supplied as a standard feature
with this fireplace and its use is required. It is
recommended to utilize the shortest duct run to
optimize the performance of the outside air kit. The
outside air kit inlet thimble should be positioned at
least 4 ft above the ground level, in a manner that will
not allow snow, leaves, etc. to block the inlet.
The outside air kit is installed on the left hand side of
the fireplace. Remove the cover plate from the side of
the fireplace assembly where the air kit is to be
installed. See Figure 16 for handle location/operation.
WARNING!
Do not pack insulation in spaces between the two shields
or above the shield inside the flashing. This may affect
temperatures to adjacent combustibles. See page 13
for minimum chimney height above roof.
WARNING!
Detailed instructions for installation of the storm collar and termination cap are packaged with these parts. To
avoid danger of fire, all instructions must be strictly followed, including the provision of air space clearance
between chimney system and enclosure. To protect against the effects of corrosion on those parts exposed to
the weather, we recommend that the chase top and termination cap be painted with a rust-resistant paint.
WARNING!
This fireplace has not been tested for use with
a chase above the roof. To reduce the risk of
fire, do not install a chase above the roof.
CAUTION:
The air kit handle may get hot while burning the fire-
place. Use care when operating the handle.
