Masonry Fireplaces - Jøtul GI 350 DV Scan 65i Installation And Operation Instructions Manual

Masonry Fireplaces

A solid-fuel fireplace chimney must be clean and in
good working order. It must be constructed of no-
combustible materials. Chimney clean-outs must fit
properly.
When installing the Jøtul GI 350 DV gas insert
into a masonry fireplace, the insert will be vented
through dual 3" flexible gas aluminum liners.
This co-linear installation includes a pair of 3" flex
ducts that run from the insert completely through
the existing chimney to the termination cap.
One liner is attached to the Exhaust Outlet on the
back of the unit and will carry the exhaust gases to
the outside of the house. This exhaust liner must be
directly connected to the unit and run the full length
of the chimney. See fig. 6.
The other 3" liner will be attached to the Air
Intake Collar to provide outside air for combustion.
The Intake Collar is labeled for easy identification.
The liner must extend through the damper area of
the fireplace into the tile liner of the chimney. This
liner can also extend the full length of the chimney
and connect to the termination cap, as required in
Canada.
If the intake flex does not extend the full length
of the chimney, forming a direct connection between
the unit and the termination cap, A METAL BLOCK
OFF PLATE MUST BE INSTALLED to seal the air intake
from room air. Normally this sealing plate will be
installed within the existing fireplace damper area.
See fig. 6. The sealing plate is not necessary if a direct
connection is made between the cap and the fire-
place. WARNING! Avoid cross venting the insert. Be-
fore installation, label both ends of the exhaust flex
pipe to ensure connection to the appropriate collars
on the fireplace unit and vent termination cap.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
THE USE OF AN EXISTING CHIMNEY AS AN AIR
INTAKE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE ANSI
Z21.88-1999-CSA 2.33-M99 TEST METHODS AND
RESULTING ITS/WHI PRODUCT CERTIFICATION.
THE CODE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION
MUST BE CONSULTED PRIOR TO PROCEEDING
WITH THIS INSTALLATION METHOD.

IMpORTANT
Masonry Fireplace Vent Installation
1. Measure height of the chimney to fireplace open-
ing. Determine if both the intake and exhaust will
be extended to the top of the chimney.
2. Use tin snips to cut the appropriate lengths of flex
for both the intake and exhaust.
3. Attach the appropriate ends of the flex to the chim-
ney termination kit.
4. Drop the liners down the chimney from the top
and rest the termination kit atop the chimney.
5. Seal the chimney termination kit to the top of the
chimney flue with high temperature sealant.
6. Secure the appropriate DIRECT VENT CAP to the
termination kit.
7. Inside the fireplace, fully extend the flex liner pipe
and cut off the excess so that the liners hang ap-
proximately 16" from the floor of the fireplace.
8. If the Air Intake pipe will not be attached to the
chimney termination kit: (See IMpORTANT NOTICE
on this below.)
a. The flex pipe must extend through the damper
area into the first flue.
b. A metal damper block-off plate must be conin-
stalled in the fireplace damper area to completely
seal off the flue from the room. Cut holes in the
plate for both the intake and exhaust flex pipes.
c. A direct vent cap is required to bring fresh air
into the chimney flue and Air Intake flex pipe.
d. Attach the Fireplace Conversion Notice to the
back of the fireplace if any part of the unit has
been modified or removed.
CANADA REQUIREMENT: Both the Intake and
the Exhaust liners must extend the full length
of the chimney and be securely connected to
both the unit and the termination kit.
If the fireplace has been modified to accom-
modate installation, use anchors or masonry
nails to attach the metal Fireplace Conversion
Notice Plate supplied with this unit to the
back wall of the masonry fireplace firebox
where it will be readily seen should the insert
be removed.
