Chimney Connection - Napoleon XIR3N Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

CHIMNEY CONNECTION

Chimney installation must conform to both national and local code requirements. The chimney must be lined
with one 3" diameter liner for intake and one 3" diameter liner for exhaust. The minimum and maximum vent
lengths are 10 and 35 feet respectively. Recommended kits come in 3 lengths:
While the liners must be continuous from the appliance to the chimney cap, to
achieve the needed length, they may be coupled, using an approved coupler.
We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through unheated spaces,
such as tall exterior chimneys, be wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize
condensation and reverse flow symptoms. See Trouble Shooting for details.
This appliance is approved for use with a 3" exhaust and air intake.
A. OUTSIDE: Slip the one end of a liner a minimum of 2" over the
sleeve of the air terminal. Secure using 3 screws. Then seal the
joint and screw heads with high temperature sealant. Repeat with
the other liner.
NOTE: We recommend that the other end of the exhaust liner be marked to eliminate the
exhaust liner being connected
to the intake collar at the
appliance.
B. Gently stretch the liners to the
required lengths and insert
into the chimney. Trim and fi t
the fl ashing plate to suit the
chimney termination. Place
the air terminal onto the top
of the chimney. Make weather
tight by sealing with caulking
(not supplied). Fasten to the
chimney with screws and plugs
(not supplied).
C. INSIDE: Remove the securing
screw from the front of the vent
mounting plate. Pull the vent
mounting plate only, back into
the track, to the front stop. Start
the slider back into position. Re-
secure the screw. The appliance
may now be pushed into its fi nal position inside the wood burning appliance, and the screw tightened
until the slider has been pulled tight to the front stop.
D. Route the fl ex liners through the slider. Attach and secure the liners to the vent mounting plate using
the same procedure as before, ensuring that the marked exhaust liner is attached to the exhaust collar.
