Jøtul GF 500 DV Portland Installation And Operation Manual page 13

Co-linear Vent Installation
The GF 500 DV may be vented through a masonry or
Class A prefabricated chimney using a 3-inch diameter
Co-linear Flexible Vent system approved for use with
a solid-fuel burning fireplace. When installed in the
manner described below, this system can improve the
performance of the appliance in cold climate situations,
as well as simplify the vent installation. See fig. 18.
Consult with the local code authority having
jurisdiction before proceeding with this type of
installation.
Refer to the vent manufacturer's instructions for
specific installation procedures.
Follow these installation requirements:
The chimney flue must be thoroughly cleaned and

inspected by a qualified chimney service person.
In a masonry chimney, a fireclay liner must be present

the entire length of the chimney.
Prefabricated chimneys must be UL 103 or ULC S-629

listed and have a minimum INSIDE diameter of 6
inches, (150 mm).
No appliance may be installed into a chimney flue

serving another appliance of any kind.

THE AIR INTAKE FLEX PIPE MUST EXTEND 6 FEET BEYOND
THE DAMPER AREA OF THE FIREPLACE.
If the intake flex duct does not extend the full length

of the chimney and connect to both the unit and the
termination cap, A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST
BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE UNIT
PRIOR TO THE END OF THE INTAKE FLEX AND MUST
COMPLETELY SEAL THE CHIMNEY FLUE FROM THE
ROOM.
If there is enough vent length and room in the flue,
adding a return loop in the air intake run will help
prevent draft reversals that can cause cold start
problems.
