Run Vent System Through Existing Chimney - kozy heat MPS-30 Minneapolis Installation Manual

RUN VENT SYSTEM THROUGH EXISTING CHIMNEY

We strongly suggest wrapping first 3ft. (914mm) of vent system below termination cap
with non-faced fiberglass insulation (secure with wire) before running it through existing
chimney. This will prevent cold air from coming down existing chimney.
DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF YOU ARE STUBBING COMBUSTION AIR
PIPE FROM BOTTOM OF EXISTING CHIMNEY.
If offsets are present in existing chimney, place a weighted rope around
NOTE pipe ends to guide them through chimney.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TIE ONE ROPE AROUND BOTH PIPES.
1. Guide rope, if used, and flexible pipe(s) down existing chimney. See illustration at lower left.
2. To secure chimney termination cap to existing chimney, apply a liberal bead of sealant (provided) around top of existing chimney. Set
termination cap into position as instructed in installation manual included with chosen vent system .
OPTIONAL: #816-CL kits - Secure termination cap to existing chimney with 2" self-tapping screws and anchor straps (provided)
through pilot holes located at sides of termination cap.
3. From inside existing fireplace, CAREFULLY pull ropes down until exhaust pipe and combustion air intake (if using full connection
method), are into existing fireplace.
STUB VENTING: From inside existing fireplace, insert a minimum of 4 ft. (1.22m) of combustion air pipe (end without collar) past the
damper opening and into existing fireplace. See illustration at lower right.
