Vent Restrictor with Vertical Terminations
When vertically terminating the vent system through the roof and using the vent restrictor, install the vent restrictor
in the top vent of the fireplace outlet.
If installing more than 6 ft of vertical venting, install the restrictor (Figure 12), from inside or outside the unit, in the
inner fireplace collar. The vent restrictor is held in place by friction.
Vent Restrictor with Horizontal Terminations
When horizontally terminating a vent system with a vertical vent run up to 4 ft through an exterior wall, no vent
restrictor is required.
If installing more than 6 ft of vertical venting, install the restrictor (Figure 13), from inside or outside the unit, in the
inner fireplace collar. The vent restrictor is held in place by friction. When rear venting with only a slip section and
termination only; install vent restrictor with break-away raised.
