Restrictor Assembly Installation
Slide restrictor into exhaust pipe on top of fireplace with tabs
pointing towards you prior to attaching venting.
Each installation is unique and affected by various factors
including venting configuration, altitude and climate.
Therefore, after fireplace installation is complete, a
restrictor (included with fireplace components packet)
may be required or may need to be removed or modified.
Please refer to Figure 11.1 for installation instructions if
installing the restrictor in conjunction with venting. A
restrictor may be used to achieve desired flame
appearance on any venting configuration with 6 ft. (1.83
m) of vertical pipe or more.
18.3 Restrictors, on page 43, outlines restrictor
recommendations depending on burner flame
appearance and instructions on installation after venting
is completed.
Bend tabs to approx. 80
degree angles to create
tension to hold itself in place
when installed.
