Installing Vent Components - Heat & Glo Pier-HV-IPI Owner's Manual

B. Installing Vent Components
After determining which direction the 45
follow venting instructions accordingly.
• This fireplace comes ready to vent vertically.
• To vent off the unit horizontally, the elbow cover plate
must first be removed from the unit (see Figure 20).
• The elbow can be removed from the unit by aligning the
seams of the elbow to the arrows on the surrounding
heat shield (see Figure 21).
• Position the elbow in the vertical position. Snap in place
with the starting collar.
• Replace the elbow cover plate aligning it with the elbow
and secure in place with the 8 screws.
• Place the rope ring around the first section of pipe and
slide it up against the cover plate.
NOTE: The rope ring is needed for heat management
and to prevent cold air infiltration.

Venting Out Vertically
If the vertical vent component is over 4 feet, you may want
to install the flue restrictor (located in the bag containing
the install manual) to improve flame appearance. Center
the flue restrictor on the 5" flue being used, and with self
tapping screws secure the restrictor to the inside of the
firebox as shown in Figure 22.
