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" (76mm) diameter liner for intake and one 3" (76mm) diameter liner for exhaust. The minimum
and maximum vent lengths are 10 and 35 feet (3 and 10 meters) respectively. Recommended kits come in 3
lengths:
2-3" (76.2mm) DOUBLE PLY ALUMINUM LINER-INLET AND EXHAUST:
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" (76mm) exhaust and air intake.
A. OUTSIDE: Slip the one end of a liner a minimum of 2"( 51mm) 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.
