Control Board Installation
The Winslow PI40GL insert is shipped with the control board wrapped
and placed behind the firebox. To install the control board, unwrap it
and the right side surround panel found in the surround kit. There are
four prongs protruding from the surround. Place the two slots in the
bottom and the two holes in the top of the control board over the four
prongs on the surround panel. Install the surround panels following the
instructions on Page 12.
Venting
This fireplace insert is approved for venting with Type L and Type PL
pellet vent pipe (listed to UL 641 and ULC S609) or listed pellet flex liner
(2100HT [degree F.] liner listed to UL 1777 or ULC S635). The insert’s
flue collar is 3” in diameter. The insert’s combustion blower pressurizes
and pushes flue gases out the pellet pipe. All pipe joints should be locked
together or screwed with three screws if the pipe does not have a locking
system. The pipe joints can be sealed with high temperature silicone if
there is a possibility of flue gases leaking into the living area. The pipe
should be fastened with three screws to the insert’s flue collar. The longer
the run of pipe and the more elbows used, the greater the resistance to
the flow of flue gases. Four inch diameter pellet pipe is recommended
for pipe runs greater than 15 feet or when a number of elbows are used.
A 3-4” increaser can be used to connect the 4” pipe to the 3” flue col-
lar. The outside air pipe may run up the chimney, horizontally, or down
provided the structural integrity of the fireplace and chimney system
are maintained. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Vent Termination Requirements:
If the insert is not vented vertically, the following apply:
1. Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas
such as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace, narrow walkway, closely
fenced area, under a sundeck or porch, or any location that can build
up a concentration of fumes such as stairwells, covered breezeway,
etc.
2. Vent surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns if touched.
Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.
3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended
that at least five feet of vertical pipe be installed outside when the
insert is vented directly through a wall. This will create a natural draft
to prevent the possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut
down or power failure and avoid exposing people or shrubs to high
temperatures.
4. The vent should terminate no less than four feet below, no less than
four feet horizontally from, and no less than one foot above doors
and windows, or gravity/ventilation air inlets into the building.
5. The distance from the bottom of termination to grade is 12” (305 mm)
minimum unless otherwise specified by the vent manufacturer. The
distance between the bottom of the termination and a public walkway
should be a minimum of seven feet.
6. Locate the vent termination at least two feet away from combustible
materials such as shrubs, plants, grass, fences, roof overhangs, and
adjacent buildings.
