ATTENTION:
Always maintain required clearances (air
spaces) to nearby combustibles to prevent a
fire hazards. Be sure to check the appliance
manufacturer's installation instructions for
minimum clearance requirements between
the outer walls of the vent pipe/liner system
and nearby combustible surfaces. Be sure
to check the vent termination clearance re-
quirements from doors, windows, soffits, gas
regulators, and air supply inlets, as specified
in local building codes.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas-burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's
own venting system. Common venting are
prohibited.
Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves
for protection.
Exercise extreme caution when using ladders
or on rooftops.
Check overhead for power lines, antennas or
other obstacles.
Make sure the inside of the masonry or facto-
ry-built chimney is large enough to accommo-
date two (2) flex liners (3"/3" or 4"/3").
Make sure the masonry chimney is sound in
construction, clean and free from all loose and
potentially flammable debris. If you find any
cracks, loose or missing bricks or tiles, repair
or replace.
Before the installation of the liners, it is rec-
ommended that the chimney be cleaned by a
certified chimney sweep.
Since chimneys are usually very sooty and
dusty, it is advisable to remove or cover your
furniture, rugs etc. for the duration of the
cleaning and installation of the liner.
Masonry chimneys may take various contours
which the flexible liner will accommodate.
However, keep the flexible liner as straight as
possible, avoid unnecessary bending. Due to
