IDV26 / IDV33 / IDV43
Vertical Venting in Cold Climates
In cold climate conditions where temperatures go below -10°C [14°F], we recommend that the chase be insulated and where the
vent pipe enters into the attic space that the pipe be wrapped with an insulated Mylar sleeve. This will increase the temperature of
the vent and help the appliance to vent properly in cold weather conditions.
It is also important in vertical vented direct vent appliances that the appliance be operated daily during the winter months as this will
help stop the Termination from freezing up. We recommend using a thermostat set at room temperature to allow the unit to cycle.
For IPI models it may be necessary to set the appliance to Standing Pilot mode to maintain heat in the cavity. The purpose of this
procedure is to prevent cold air from penetrating the chimney and then onto the living space. Therefore, when the internal
temperature is slightly elevated the fireplace is able to freely exhaust its combustion and hence making it easier to startup.
This appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
This appliance is approved with Kingsman Flex Vent System (as listed in the manual) or MG Duravent flex pipe system.
All venting lining products must be approved and installed according to the vent manufacturers installation instructions. All
vent liners must terminate in a rain cap to prevent debris and rain from entering the vent and possibly damaging the
appliance or creating an unsafe condition. The area between the existing chimney and liner must be capped off for the
same reasons as above and to reduce the chances of venting problems and corrosion of the vent.
If this fireplace insert is to be used to replace an existing fireplace insert the existing vent liner must be of the proper size
and if so must be inspected for obstructions, damage and/or corrosion. Replacement must be done as necessary.
Before any vent liner is run through a chimney or other approved venting system, chimney must be inspected, cleaned
and repaired if necessary. A chimney which was used for a solid fuel fireplace must be professionally cleaned in order to
reduce corrosion of the vent or other possible safety hazards.

WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
Cutting any sheet-metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, is prohibited.
Installation of Vertical Termination
1. Before attaching the flex vents to the termination, you will have to
determine how the cap will be attached to the existing chimney crown, clay
lined chimney or wood stove vent pipe. The Seal Plate of the termination
may be cut, notched and formed to make a good seal to the existing vent
or be left flat.
2. Using a high quality sealing compound (RTV Silicone) place a bead of
sealant onto the vent or chimney top. This will provide a seal against water
and rain from entering the existing flue.
