A. CONNECTING THE VENT PIPE.
The damper of
the masonry or factory-built chimney may have to be
removed to allow installation of the flexible-vent pipe.
Before installing the 3” flex vent pipe, mark or label
the exhaust pipe at both ends.
Install the 3-inch flexible vent pipes down through the
chimney. Remove the starting collar bracket from the
top of the unit. See Figure 3. Attach and secure
the bottom ends of the flex pipes to the starting collar
bracket with 3 sheet metal screws on each collar.
Attach the labeled pipe to the exhaust collar on the
starter collar bracket.
Note:
Fireplace chimney systems must
be cleaned thoroughly and inspected
before installation of the appliance. If
any portion of the chimney system shows
signs of structural or mechanical weak-
nesses, such as cracks, leaky joints, cor-
roded or warped surfaces, the faulty por-
tion must be repaired or replaced.
