the hearth. If outside combustion air is to be used, you will
need a pipe length equal to the chimney height plus 18
inches

Attach the DuraVent adapter, a section of pipe and clean out
tee, making sure the clean out tee is centered in the
chimney flue area. Use RTV, metallic tape, and a minimum
of three self-taping screws at all joint connections to ensure
a tight seal.
