To prevent cold air drafts, Hussong Manufacturing recommends
to insulate the 3” x 3” flexible vent pipes and chimney using
unfaced insulation products listed as noncombustible per ASTM
E 136.

chimney, place unfaced insulation around the first 3 ft (914 mm)
of vent system below termination cap. Secure with wire.
2. Install the 3” x 3” flexible pipes down through existing chimney.
Guide ropes (if used) to aid installation.
3. To secure chimney termination cap to chimney, apply a liberal
bead of sealant (provided) around the top of the chimney. Set
termination cap into position as instructed by vent system
manufacturer’s installation manual.
OPTIONAL Kozy Heat #816-CAP: Secure termination cap to
existing chimney with 2 in (50 mm) self-tapping screws and
anchor straps (not provided) through the pilot holes, located on
the sides of the termination cap.
4. From inside the existing fireplace, carefully pull ropes (if used) or
the flexible pipes down until both exhaust pipe and combustion
air intake are into the existing fireplace firebox.
5. OPTIONAL: To prevent heat loss up chimney, place unfaced
insulation products listed as non-combustible per ASTM E 136
between the 3” x 3” flexible vent pipes and chimney.
