Appliance Preparation
A. Vent Collar Preparation
CAUTION! Risk of Cuts, Abrasions or Flying Debris.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during instal-
lation. Sheet metal edges are sharp.
NOTICE: Once appliance is set up for top or rear venting,
it CANNOT be changed at a later time.
Note: Actual fi replace may look different than the fi replace
shown in this section.
Top Vent
If a straight section of pipe is attached directly to the appli-
ance starting collar, the elbow heat shield is not required.
When installing a 90 degree elbow (SLP90) directly to the
top of the appliance starting collar, the following additional
provisions MUST be followed:
1. The elbow heat shield is not required if combustible
materials, or combustible chases, are installed a mini-
mum of 15 inches above the top of the appliance.
2. If the combustible materials are to be installed be-
tween 12 to 15 inches above the top of the appliance,
the elbow heat shield is required. See Figure 6.2.
Refer to Section 10.B for additional clearance to combus-
tibles requirements.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Elbow heat shield must be in-
stalled if required. Overheating will occur.
To Install Elbow Heat Shield:
1. Remove the elbow heat shield from the shipping posi-
tion, shown in Figure 1, by removing screws.

2. Fasten the shield in place using the four pilot holes.
The shield should be oriented such that the 13 1/8 inch
dimension (longest dimension) is running in the same
direction the elbow is pointing. The shield should be
centered directly above the elbow, and positioned so
that it creates a 1/2 inch airspace between the shield
and the combustible surface. See Figure 6.2

If the combustible materials are not in place at the time
of install the elbow heat shield may be screwed to the
exhaust pipe. See Figure 6.4. Cut the tabs as shown
and bend down. Secure the heat shield to the pipe
maintaining 3" to 4" between the pipe and shield.
•
Continue adding vent components, locking each suc-
ceeding component into place.
•
90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding component's vertical axis.
•
Ensure that each succeeding vent component is se-
curely fi tted and locked into the preceding component
in the vent system.
•
90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding component's vertical axis. If an
elbow does not end up in a locked position with the
preceding component, attach with a minimum of two
(2) sheet metal screws.
