Firebox Preparation
It is recommended that the following steps be taken to properly prepare the firebox
for installation of the Gas Insert.
1. Remove the old chimney cap from the top of the chimney.
2. Remove the chimney damper wherever possible. If this is not practical, lock the
damper permanently in the open position.
3. Remove all soot and creosote from the inside surface of the firebox and chimney.
4. Vacuum firebox thoroughly, ensuring that all dirt and dust has been removed from
the firebox.
5. Seal firebox walls with the appropriate sealer.
Venting Installation
For Your Information:
The extra cleaning required before you install the insert into the firebox is essential because
of the circulation fan mounted inside the unit. This fan will pick up the odor from the creosote
as well as any dust and dirt particles from within the firebox and distribute it throughout the
house.
A typical Insert installation in a masonry fireplace is shown in Figure 3. The following
set of instructions will prepare the venting system for installation.
1. Measure the distance between the top of the chimney and the floor of the fireplace.
2. Cut the two 3” diameter flex pipes to this length.
Maximum allowable length of the
flex pipe venting is 30 feet.
After the piping has been cut, mark both ends of one
pipe as
Intake
, and both ends of the other pipe as
Exhaust
. This is important so you
do not mistakenly confuse the two pipes when installing to the insert.
3. Apply a bead of high temperature sealant to the 3” crimped edge on the terminal cap,
and the 7” crimped edge on the adapter box. Connect the vent terminal to the adapter
box
WARNING:
All Flex Pipes Must Be Properly Affixed To The Flue Collar With The Hose Clamps And
Metal Screws Provided. Failure To Comply May Result In Unsafe Operating Conditions,
Serious Injury And Possible Loss Of Life.
