1.2.2 CONNECTING THE FLUE PIPE

NOTE:
The damper of the masonry or factory-
built chimney may have to be removed to allow
installation of the flexible-flue pipe.
Install the 3-inch (76mm) flexible flue pipes down through
the chimney. Remove the starting collar bracket from
the top of the unit. See Figure 4. Attach and secure
the bottom ends of the flex pipes to the starting collar
bracket with 3 plated sheetmetal screws on each col-
lar. Slide the gas insert into place, and position any
excess flex flue pipe back up into the chimney. Re-
attach the collar bracket to the unit. There are two end
tabs bent down from the top of the unit into the fan air
passageway. After the collar bracket is re-attached,
bend the tabs upward using a long screwdriver or simi-
lar tool. The tabs will bend up behind the lances and
hold the collar bracket from sliding backwards.
Attach the pipe-to-cap adaptor to the termination cap
and to the top of the flexible flue pipe and set the cap in
place at the top of the chimney. See Figures 4 and 5.
CAUTION:
To avoid downdrafts and/or cold air
problems, it is recommended to seal off the area
between the termination cap and the top of the
solid-fuel chimney opening into which the flue cap
has been installed.
WARNING:
A 12-inch (305mm) minimum chim-
ney and/or flue height above the roof top is neces-
sary in the interest of safety. See Figure 7.
NOTE:
THIS ALSO PERTAINS TO VERTICAL
FLUE SYSTEMS INSTALLED ON THE OUTSIDE OF
THE BUILDING.

CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY

The gas is introduced to the appliance on the left hand
side. See Figure 8. After the gas pipe installation is
complete, check carefully all gas connections for leaks
with a soap solution. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
NOTE:
THE GAS SUPPLY LINE SHOULD BE
PURGED OF ANY TRAPPED AIR PRIOR TO THE
FIRST FIRING OF THE UNIT.
