Installation Into a Masonry
Fireplace
When referencing installation or connec-
tion to masonry fireplaces or chimneys,
the masonry construction must or shall be
code complying.
The insert must be installed as per the requirements
of your local inspection authority.
In Canada this fireplace insert must be in-
stalled with a continuous chimney liner of 5.5"
(140mm) or 6" (152mm) diameter extending
from the fireplace insert to the top of the
chimney. The chimney liner must conform to
the Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635 or
CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems
for New Masonry Chimneys.
Installation Into a Factory
Built Fireplace
1. When installed in a factory built fireplace, a
full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner is
mandatory, for both safety and performance
purposes. When a flue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to breathe better by allowing a
greater draft to be created. The greater draft
can decrease problems such as, difficult start-
ups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
2. In order to position the flue liner, the existing
rain cap must be removed from your chimney
system. In most cases the flue damper should
also be removed to allow passage of the liner.
3. In most cases opening the existing spark
screens fully should give enough room for the
insert installation. If it does not, remove and
store.

4. If the floor of your fireplace is below the level
of the fireplace opening, adjust the insert's
levelling bolts to accommodate the difference.
When additional shimming is required, use
non-combustible masonry or steel shims.
5. Measure approximately the alignment of the
flue liner with the position of the smoke outlet
hole on the insert to check for possible offset.
If an offset is required, use the appropriate
offset adaptor in your installation.
6. Once the above items have been checked, slide
your insert into position after first positioning
and securing the flue liner to the offset adaptor.
Attach the rod to the adaptor and slide the adap-
tor onto the unit as the unit is slid into position.
Ensure a positive connection.
Secure the adaptor to the unit by using 2 bolts,
flat washers, lock washers and one screw in the
front.
Re-install raincap at completion of installation.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures
in the appliance and may cause damage. An uncon-
trollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back
puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak
smoke into the room through appliance and chim-
ney connector joints. Ensure the heater is installed
in areas that are not too close to neighbors or in
valleys that would cause unhealthy air quality or
nuisance conditions.
Optional Flue Connector Kit
The Straight Flue Adaptor (Part #846-504) shown
here, may be used to produce a secure connection
between your flue connector and the insert collar.
Detailed installation instructions are included with
the kit.
