Venting Installation

Your Lennox™ gas insert must be vented to the outside
in accordance with the current edition of the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI-Z223.1 (In Canada, the current CAN/CSA
B149.1 installation code). The insert must not be connected
to a chimney flue serving a separate solid fuel burning ap-
pliance.
This gas insert requires a 3" diameter listed flex liner. The
vent should terminate with a listed direct vent termination
cap. The chimney should be sealed around the cap to pre-
vent air and rain from entering the chimney. Adhere to the
vent manufacturer's instructions for installation and vent
termination. These appliances are approved for use with
the following vent kits.

Vertical Venting
The vent pipes must be connected to the proper collars on
the unit and the exhaust vent pipe must be connected to the
termination cap or the unit will not operate. The combustion
air vent pipe can be connected to the termination cap or it
can terminate inside the chimney.
The bottom opening of the chimney must be sealed around
the vent pipes if the combustion air vent is not connected
to the termination cap. Use unfaced fiberglass insulation to
seal around the vent pipes. The insulation may give off an
odor during the first hour of operation.
Note: The minimum vertical rise (exhaust vent) is 10 feet
(3.1 M) and the maximum vertical rise is 35 feet (10.7 M).
These dimensions are measured from the starting collars
of the unit to the end of the vent pipe.
The fireplace and fireplace chimney must be clean and in good
working order and constructed of non-combustible materials.
Inspect chimney cleanouts for proper fit and seal.
