Rear Vent Conversion - Empire Comfort Systems DVP42DP31N-2 Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

Converting flue take-off to rear venting
When switching out the flue and inlet vent collars to run horizontally
off the rear vent, the following steps must be taken.
1. Remove the inlet vent collar (8 screws) and flue collar (4 screws)
from the top of the fireplace, and set to the side.
2. Remove the inlet cover plate and flue cover plate located on
the back of the fireplace. These will be used to close the top
flue and inlet openings.
3. Insert the insulation retainer bracket and insulation into the top
flue pipe before reinstalling the flue cover plate over the top
flue with 4 screws.
