Flue Installation; Sealing The Flue To The Insert - Travis Industries Medium Flush Wood Hybrid Fyre Insert Manual

Fireplace Insert Installation

Flue Installation

Sealing the Flue to the Insert

This insert utilizes a catalytic combustor to increase efficiency and decrease emissions. This increases
the air resistance inside the firebox, making the flue connection especially important. To insure proper
draft, and to prevent smoke spillage during re-loading, it is crucial for the flue to be sealed with
furnace cement. If an adapter is used, both joints to the liner and to the insert must be sealed. Use a
generous amount of fireplace cement at every connection (where the flue connects to the insert and at
every joint).
In addition, we recommend using non-combustible fiberglass insulation to seal the fireplace enclosure.
By sealing the top and bottom of the chimney, and the surround panels, you will be ensuring outside air is
not pulled into the chimney.
