It is recommended that the ducted flex kit duct system be installed in
the following order:
1. Plan and frame fireplace and outlet locations prior to ducted flex kit
installation.
2. Remove the two 8” diameter cutouts on top of the fireplace. Then,
cut the insulation in order to obtain two 8” diameter openings and
remove the insulation.
3. On the duct adaptor, bend the appropriate tabs down so that the
bottom of the adaptor is just below the bottom of the insulation.
4. Align the collar slots with the holes in the adaptor; fasten the collar
and the adaptor to the top of the fireplace using 3 of the sheet metal
screws provided. The collar will fit loosely around the openings
(see
Figure 22).
