Rear Vent Conversion - Empire Comfort Systems MILLIVOLT DVCD FP3-4 Series Installation Instructions Manual

Convert flue take-off to rear venting
When switching out the flue and inlet vent collars to run
horizontally off the rear vent, the following steps must be taken.
1. Remove the inlet vent collar (eight #10 hex head screws)
and flue collar (four #10 hex head screws) from the top of
the fireplace. Retain vent and flue collars and hardware for
re-installation.
2. Remove the inlet vent cover plate and flue cover plate from
the rear of the fireplace.
3. Insert the insulation retainer bracket and flue insulation into
the top flue pipe before reinstalling the flue cover plate over
the top flue with four#10 hex head screws.
4. Re-install the inlet vent cover plate over the top inlet opening
with eight #10 hex head screws. See Figure 45.
Note: Pull the flue cover plate tab
outward prior to removal. This will
ensure the plate does not drop inside
the rear air chamber.
