Factory-Built Fireplace lnstallation
Dvewiew
Figure 1 shows the gas insert installed in a
typical factory-built fireplace. The insert is po-
sitioned within the firebox. A singie 4'
(102mm) flexible duct runs from the insert
completely throughtheexisting chimney tothe
termination installed atop a ilashing that is
secured and compietely sealed to the chimney
top. This 4' (102 mm) flex duct conducts ex-
haust products out of the gas insert. Fresh air
for combustion enters the termination at the
top, is drawn downward through the existing
chimney's inner flue (previously used as the
exhaust) and into the gas insert via the 6'
(152 mm) flex ducting that connects the dome
adapter to the vent adapter. The dome adapter
