ASSEMBLING VENT PIPES
USA Installations
The venting system must conform to local codes and/or
the current National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Only venting components manufactured or approved by

FLEX VENT PIPES
Secure flex vent pipe in place with a hose clamp (pro

*Be sure the flex pipe overlaps at least 1” (25 mm) onto
the collars of the fireplace and termination. If the termi

nation has an internal bead, be sure to overlap and se-
cure 1” (25 mm) past the bead.
* Be sure the vent is actually crushed before proceeding.
Apply a tug to be sure the vent will not slip off the collars.
Repeat process with 7” flex vent pipe. The same proce
-
dure must be performed on the vent side.
