A positive flue connection is providing a seal between the vent pipe or
liner and the existing fireplace chimney for the purpose of preventing
room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. There are differ-
ent approved methods to achieve this. See Direct Connect Positive Flue
Connection on this page.
When creating a positive flue connection, a positive flue connector ring
kit is required (sold separately - see Figure 7). The connector ring kits
(listed below) provide a means to directly attach rigid pipe or an flex
pipe adaptor to the flue outlet.

See the following instructions for approved methods of achieving a
positive flue connection - See Figure 8.
A qualified installer should evaluate the existing fireplace to determine
the best method for achieving a positive flue connection between the
vent pipe or liner and the existing fireplace chimney. The most common
method for achieving a positive flue connection in masonry fireplaces
is to secure a seal-off plate (i.e. 22-gage sheet steel) in the fireplace
throat using masonry screws. Other acceptable methods include packing
noncombustible material (i.e. high temp fiberglass or ceramic insulation)
around the vent pipe or using a flue adapter. Whatever “seal off” method
is used, it must effectively seal the area to prevent room air passage to
the chimney cavity of the fireplace.
Offset Boxes
Offsets can be handled using an offset box (it aligns flue outlet of insert
with the fireplace flue (see
Figure 9
). Care should be used to ensure
that this adjustable offset box is oriented so it does not angle down when
positioned on the insert flue outlet (level or slightly up at the outbound
end is recommended).

A non-combustible seal is required at the damper area (to prevent
dilution air from entering the chimney). See Direct Connect Positive Flue
Connection on this page. A seal-off plate method is shown here.
