18. If your installation does require an air restrictor or exhaust restrictor or both, these must be installed
before you install the vent starter pipe. Again, refer to the venting information starting on page 8 to
determine the specific restrictor requirements for your specific installation.
19. The exhaust restrictor is installed by placing it through the exhaust outlet pipe and resting it on the in-
ternal 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 illustrations for placement of
the exhaust restrictor and clip.
20. 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 pos-
sible. The first tabs bent must be opposite each other and ori-
ented 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 appropri-
ate 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.
