20. Place the vent starter pipe gasket on the back of the
fireplace aligning the holes in the gasket with the pilot
holes on the rear of the fireplace.
21. The exhaust restrictor is installed by placing it through
the exhaust outlet pipe and resting it on the internal
baffle in the firebox. It is held in place with a movable
retainer clip. Simply hold the restrictor down against
the baffle and push the retainer up and tighten screw
to secure the restrictor.
Note: Please take care to
insure that the exhaust restrictor is centered in the
exhaust outlet. Improper alignment could adversely
affect the appearance of the flames. Refer to the
adjacent images for placement of the exhaust
restrictor and clip.
22. If the air restrictor ring is required, first determine
the number of tabs that must be bent open. Before
bending any tabs, align the mounting holes in the ring
over the four pilot holes on the back of the fireplace.
When selecting the tabs to bend, it is important to
maintain the most symmetrical pattern possible.
The first tabs bent must be opposite each other and
oriented horizontally. If only one tab is specified,
orient the ring over the pilot holes so the split tabs
are oriented horizontally and bend up two opposing
half-tabs. Additional tabs should be evenly spaced
relative to the first two. With the appropriate tabs
bent, re-align the mounting holes in over the pilot
holes keeping the proper orientation AND with the
bent tabs facing away from the fireplace body.
23. Align the inner pipe of the vent starter pipe with the
exhaust outlet pipe on the fireplace. The vent pipe
will fit tightly over the fireplace pipe. Gently push the
starter pipe on to the fire-place pipe until the outer
pipe flange makes contact with the vent pipe gasket.
Be sure that the holes in the starter pipe flange align
with the gasket and pilot holes. When the flange
contacts the gasket, install the four fasteners provided
with the starter pipe.
