unit to determine exactly what may or may not
be done to make the correct connection. Some
typical arrangements are shown in (Figures 21
and 22). An Appliance Adapter or Increaser
Adapter may be needed, depending on the exit
size of the stove or insert collar.
9. If a Tee or Tee Adapter is necessary to make
the connection, as shown in (Figure 22), the
Tee has a removable Clean out Adapter on
its base to enable cleaning. Ensure Tee is
adequately supported.
10. Connect the appliance to the coupling on
the bottom of the Flex Pipe, by twisting to the
locked position. Push the appliance into the
fireplace to its final resting place. Go to the top
of the chimney and pull the vent system up to
its desired height.
11. For support at the termination of the Vent,
use a Tall Cone Flashing, and a Storm Collar.
This will require 14 inches of pipe above the
top of the masonry chimney. Pull the pipe up
through the flashing to the desired height.
Mark location of the Storm Collar. Slip the
Storm Collar down over the pipe and affix it to
the pipe with a 1/4"-long stainless steel sheet
metal screw (Figures 23 & 24). The Storm
Collar will then support the entire vent system.
Install the Cap. Seal the joint at the Storm
Collar, and any other joints or seams which
may appear suspect. (Figure 25) shows a Tall
Cone Flashing modified to fit a chimney where
the tile liner protrudes above the masonry, as
another alternate termination technique. This
completes the masonry installation.
INSTALLATION THROUGH SIDE OF
MASONRY CHIMNEY
1. Set the appliance in its final location and
mark the center of the hole where the pipe is
to penetrate the masonry chimney. Ensure
that you comply with the manufacturer's
specifications in regards to clearance and
distances from combustible surfaces.
Figure 26
2. The Secure Pellet system is assembled
essentially the same as previously described
for installation in an existing masonry chimney
with the exceptions listed:
A. No Flex Pipe is required, unless the
masonry chimney has an offset. If an offset
exists, then a Flex Pipe will be needed from
the offset down to opening in masonry.
B. A Tee Section is installed at the bottom end
of the vertical pipe (Figure 26).
C. A Reduction Collar or a Trim Collar is
required to go around the pipe section that
passes through the masonry to give it a
finished look.
3. It will be necessary to break out the
masonry around the location of the pipe center
line mark to a diameter of at least 4 inches for
3 inch pipe, and at least 5 inches in diameter
for 4 inch pipe.
4. Install the Tee on the bottom of the vertical
pipe system and lower it down the chimney
