B. Installing Vent Components
After determining which set of starting collars will be used
(top or rear), follow venting instructions accordingly.
Venting Out the Rear Vent
Remove the installed rear seal cap from the rear starting
collars by cutting the strap at each end. (See Figure 18).
Follow the vent configuration tables accordingly.
Remove the insulation from the
REAR
five inch flue, pull
the heat shield out from outside of the firebox.
WARNING: THE TOP HEAT SHIELD (INSIDE
THE FIREBOX) MUST REMAIN ATTACHED IF
THE VENT SYSTEM IS ATTACHED TO THE
REAR STARTING COLLARS. SEE FIGURE 18.
Venting Out the Top Vent
Remove the two screws in the top vent collar seal cap and
remove the top vent collar seal cap and two pieces of in-
sulation inside the top two starting collars (See Figure 18).
Remove the heat shield from inside the
TOP
five inch flue
from outside of the firebox.
The glass must be taken off again for positioning the logs
when the unit is finally installed in place and finished around
it. Reinstall the glass door. Attach vent system to the top
starting collars.

1. Attach the First Vent Component to the
Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars of
the fireplace:
• Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5mm) bead of stove cement around
the 5 inch (127mm) fireplace starting collar.
• Make sure that the fiberglass gasket supplied in the man-
ual bag seals between the first 8-5/8 inch (219mm) vent
component and the outer fireplace wrap. Using 2 self-
tapping screws from the manual bag, secure that gasket
to the outer wrap (see Figure 19).
WARNING: THE REAR VENT COLLAR SEAL
CAP MUST REMAIN ATTACHED TO THE REAR
VENT COLLARS IF THE VENT SYSTEM IS AT-
TACHED TO THE TOP STARTING COLLARS.
WARNING: FAILURE TO REMOVE INSULATION
IN THE SET OF COLLARS YOU ARE USING
COULD CAUSE A FIRE.
WARNING: YOU MUST LEAVE THE INSULATION
IN PLACE IN THE SET OF COLLARS YOU ARE
NOT USING.
If your vertical vent component is over 10 feet, you may
want to install the vertical baffle (located in the bag containing
the install manual) to improve flame appearance. Center
the vertical baffle on the 5” flue being used, and with self
tapping screws secure the baffle to the inside of the firebox.

• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the con-
centric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior
beads into the fireplace collar or previously installed com-
ponent end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.
• When the internal beads of each 8-5/8 inch (219mm)
outer pipe line up, rotate the pipe section clockwise about
one-quarter (1/4) turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.
• The first 90° elbow installed in the vent system of a rear
venting fireplace
MUST BE
in a vertical position.
