Vent Guidelines

• All vent components must be installed in accor-
dance with the listing terms and manufacturer's
instructions.
• Vent Height: Measured from the top of the insert
to the top of the termination cap.

relined using 3" Listed flexible gas liner.
• The remaining space around the liner in a masonry
or zero-clearance flue CANNOT be used to vent any
other appliance.
• Flexible liner components may not be exposed in
any living space.
• Installation of any components not manufactured
or approved by Jøtul or failure to meet all clearance
requirements will void all warranties and could
result in property damage, bodily injury, or serious
fire.
• Never modify any venting component, or use any
damaged venting product.
• THE GAS APPLIANCE AND VENT SYSTEM MUST
BE VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE
BUILDING, AND NEVER ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY

turers in a single installation.
