6.1 Masonry Fireplace
1. Measure height of the chimney to fireplace opening.
Determine if both the intake and exhaust will be
extended to the top of the chimney. In Canada, both
liners must extend the full length of the chimney and
be connected to both the unit and the termination kit.
2. Cut the appropriate lengths of flex duct for both the
intake and exhaust.
Label both ends of the Exhaust
duct to ease identification inside the house.
3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to attach the
ends of the duct(s) to the chimney termination kit as
appropriate.
4. Drop the liners down the chimney from the top and
rest the termination kit atop the chimney.
5. Seal the chimney termination kit to the top of the
chimney flue with high temperature sealant.
6. Secure the appropriate direct vent cap to the
termination kit.
7. Inside the fireplace, fully extend the duct and trim any
excess so that the ends hang approximately 15” from
the floor of the fireplace.
8. If the Intake duct is not attached to the chimney
termination kit:
A. Install a length of flex duct that extends at least into
the first flue tile.
B. The fireplace chimney flue must be permanently
sealed-off from the room.
C. A direct vent cap is required to allow fresh air into
the chimney flue and ultimately into the intake duct to
the insert.
D. Attach the Fireplace Conversion Notice to the back
of the fireplace if appropriate.
9. Remove the Vent Adaptor from the unit by pushing
it to the rear. Connect both ducts to the appropriate
collars.
10. Position the insert
without Backer Plate
half-way
inside the fireplace and start the Vent Adaptor onto the
top of the firebox. As you face the front of the insert,
the Intake collar is on the left and the Exhaust is on the
right.
11. Secure the ducts to the appropriate collars on the Vent
Adaptor with sheet metal screws or duct clamps. No
sealant is required. See Vent Connection instructions on
page 13.
