B. Installing Vent Components
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 fireplace rope gasket supplied with
the fireplace seals between the first 8-5/8 inch (219mm)
vent component and the outer fireplace wrap.
Lock the vent components into place by sliding the con-
centric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interi-
or beads into the fireplace collar or previously installed com-
ponent end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.
When the internal beads of each 6-5/8 inch (168mm)
outer pipe line up, rotate the pipe section clockwise about
one-quarter (1/4) turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.
!
WARNING: A 3/8 INCH (9.5 MM) BEAD OF
STOVE CEMENT MUST BE PLACED AROUND
THE 4 INCH (102MM) FIREPLACE STARTING COL-
LAR BEFORE ATTACHING THE FIRST VENT COM-
PONENT. FAILURE TO SEAL THIS JOINT MAY
CAUSE THE FIREPLACE TO OPERATE IMPROPER-
LY. SEE FIGURE 16.

2. Continue Adding Vent Components
To continue adding vent components in accordance with
the pre-planned vent system configuration:
Ensure that each succeeding vent component is securely
fitted and locked into the preceding component in the
vent system.
90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding components vertical axis. If an
elbow does not end up in a locked position with the pre-
ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2) sheet
metal screws. Continue adding vent components, locking
each succeeding component into place (see Figure 17).
