Install the Vent Adapter Pipe
(CFM Vent Components)
1. Install the Restrictor Plate. Consult the 'Vent Run
Specifications' on page 8 to determine whether the
restrictor plate is needed. If so, put the restrictor
plate in place within the inner flue collar as shown in
Figure 22.
Fig. 22 Install the restrictor plate only if required for the
venting configuration. Refer to page 8.
2. Attach Inner Starter Pipe, (found in with the
logset), to the next section of inner pipe.
• Run a bead of sealant about 1/2" from the upper
end of the Inner starter pipe and join the two sec-
tions together.
• Drill three pilot holes into the Inner Starter and
secure the assembly with three sheet metal screws.
(Fig. 23)
3. Dry fit the Inner pipe assembly to the stove and
determine the required vent length.
• Insert the vent assembly into the flue collar, but do
not attach. Measure to determine the correct length
required for your installation and cut the upper end
of the pipe as necessary.
• Dry fit the outer vent section and cut to match the
height of the Inner assembly.

• Side Wall Terminations: Dry fit the inner elbow
with the vertical inner vent and confirm the centerline
alignment with the wall thimble opening.
4. Attach the Inner Vent Assembly to the stove.
• Run a bead of sealant around the bottom end of
the starter pipe and attach the assembly to the stove
using three 1/4-20 x 3/8" Phillips screws provided in
the parts bag. (Fig. 24)
5. Install the Outer Adapter Pipe. Apply a 1/4" bead
of cement around the inside wall of the pipe, about
1" from the end. Insert the pipe over the stove flue
collar, keeping the vertical seam oriented to the back
of the stove. Also, be sure to align holes on the pipe
with the holes on the flue collar of the firebox.
Fasten the pipe to the holes in the flue collar with the
#12 x 1/2" sheet metal screws provided. (Fig. 25)
