COMPONENT
1. Attach the First Vent Component to the
Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component (3 foot straight pipe
minimum) to the starting collars of the fireplace:
• Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5mm) bead of stove cement around
the inner pipe fireplace starting collar.
• Make sure that the fireplace rope gasket supplied with
the fireplace seals between the first 8-5/8 inch (219mm)
vent component and the fireplace top.
• 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 pipe line up, rotate the
pipe section clockwise about one-quarter (1/4) turn. The
vent pipe is now locked together.

2. Continue Adding Vent Components
• Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed-
ing component into place.
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure-
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the
vent system.
• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el-
bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre-
ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2)
sheet metal screws.

3. Install Support Brackets
For Horizontal Runs -
The vent system must be supported
every five (5) feet of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe support.
To install support brackets for horizontal runs:
• Place the pipe supports around the vent pipe.
• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.
For Vertical Runs -
The vent system must be supported
every eight (8) feet (2.4m) above the fireplace flue outlet by
wall brackets.
To install support brackets for vertical runs:
• Attach wall brackets to the vent pipe and secure the wall
bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.

WARNING: A 3/8 INCH (9.5MM) BEAD OF STOVE
CEMENT MUST BE PLACED AROUND THE INNER
PIPE FIREPLACE STARTING COLLAR BEFORE AT-
TACHING THE FIRST VENT COMPONENT. FAILURE TO
SEAL THIS JOINT MAY CAUSE THE FIREPLACE TO
OPERATE IMPROPERLY. SEE THE DIAGRAM .
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE FIBERGLASS
ROPE GASKET SUPPLIED WITH THE FIRE-
PLACE SEALS BETWEEN THE FIRST VENT COM-
PONENT AND THE FIREPLACE TOP.
