B. Installing Vent Components
Before starting installation of vent kits, the installer
should read the Gas Stove Instructions and the Vent
Kit Instructions to ensure that the proper system has
been selected for the installation.
Determine the exact position of the stove so the vent
pipe is centered (if possible) between two building
framing members. This will avoid any extra framing.
Using a level, make sure the stove is properly
positioned and squared. Minimum clearances to walls
and ceilings must be maintained.
Vent terminals should not be recessed into a wall.
Consult your local Building Code Regulations before
beginning the installation.
WARNING
THIS GAS STOVE AND VENT ASSEMBLY
MUST BE VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE
OUTSIDE AND MUST NEVER BE
ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY SERVING A
SEPARATE SOLID FUEL BURNING
APPLIANCE. EACH GAS APPLIANCE
MUST USE A SEPARATE VENT SYSTEM-
COMMON VENT SYSTEMS ARE
PROHIBITED.
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 4 inch (100mm) fireplace starting collar.
• Make sure that the fireplace rope gasket supplied
with the fireplace seals between the first vent
component and the outer fireplace wrap.
• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the
concentric pipe sections with four (4) equally
spaced interior beads into the fireplace collar or
previously installed component end with four (4)
equally spaced indented sections.
• When the internal beads of each outer pipe line up,
rotate the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter
(1/4) turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.
