1. If the appliance is installed into an existing chimney system, thoroughly
clean the masonry or factory-built fireplace.
2. The appliance has an opening on the left side of the control compartment.
A 3/8" NPT gas supply pipe must be brought near the opening.
3. Locate the centerpoint where the vent will pass through the chimney,
above the appliance. Move the appliance to the installation location.
Ensure that the insert is level.
4. Do not cut any sheetmetal parts of the fireplace into which the gas
insert will be installed.
5. If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s), drill one of 1-1/2"
(37-1/2 mm) or less though the lower sides or bottom of the firebox.
The access hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after
the gas supply line is installed.

BURNINGAPPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to attach to two 3" (76 mm) co-linear aluminium
flex running the full length of the chimney. The flue length must be a
minimum of 8' (2.44 m) and a maximum of 35' (10.7 m) long. See the
chart below for minimum distances from the roof. Periodically check that
the vent is unrestricted.
Masonry chimneys may take various contours which the flexible liner will
accommodate. However, keeptheflexiblelinerasstraightaspossible
(avoid unnecessary bending).
Attach both the exhaust and intake flue liners to both the termination cap
& flue collar at the appliance with a minimum of three self-tapping screws.
Use Mil-Pac sealant to seal the pipes.
The air intake pipe must be attached to the inlet air collar of the termination
cap.

Co-linear DV Vertical Termination Cap
When attaching the two 3 inch (51-76 mm) liners to the termination
cap and prior to sliding them down the chimney, it is good practice
to mark the liners "exhaust" & "air intake". This prevents mixing up
the liners at the flue collar connection of the appliance. If facing the
appliance from the front, the air intake is located on the left and the
exhaust flue on the right.
