Restrictor Settings

The restrictor is located in the roof of the fi rebox
hidden above the top liner panel. Adjust the restrictor
before installation of the top liner panel. Should
subsequent adjustment be required, you will need to
remove the top liner panel—see "Liners" on page 38.
ALL INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE A RESTRICTOR for
improved fl ame picture and performance. This unit is
supplied with a pre-fi tted restrictor having fi ve diff erent
positions or settings. The restrictor is shipped mounted
at the maximum open position which is used for rear
venting with no vertical rise. The level of restriction
required depends on the vertical rise in the venting
system and, to a lesser degree, the horizontal run and
number of elbows.
The amount of restriction is based on laboratory tests.
The ideal restrictor position may vary slightly, especially
when the vent pipe length is near the limits of the
acceptable confi gurations for each type of restrictor.
The chart on the previous page shows
the vent restrictor required relative to the
length of the vent pipe.
To set the restrictor position:
1. Establish the required position of the
restrictor looking up the venting table
on the previous page.
2. Release the screws (2) on each side of
the restrictor already installed on the
fi rebox roof port.
3. Slide the restrictor in the required posi-
tion.
4. Tighten the screws.
