INSTALLATION
- ADVANTAGE II-T C INS
IMPORTANT- Make sure the chimney and firebox are clean and free of soot and ashes before installation begins. Fail-
ure to do so may result in the transfer of soot into the room by way of the Room Air Blower.

(not allowed in Canada)
The vent pipe must
extend a minimum of
18" above the damper.
The existing chimney
must not be corroded or
damaged in any way.

(USA Only) Venting Into an Existing Chimney
This pellet insert may be installed into a ma-
sonry fireplace (built to UBC 37 or ULC S628
standards) or a factory built fireplace (built to
UL 127 or ULC S610 standards) as illus-
trated on this page. When installing into a
masonry chimney, it is recommended that
the exhaust vent be extended to the top of
the chimney as shown on the following page.
However, if the vent pipe does not extend to
the top of the chimney, the vent must extend
a minimum of 18" above the damper. You
must seal the damper area so that the air /
exhaust in the chimney cannot communicate

with the air in the fireplace firebox (this is a
positive flue connection. See the following
instructions for one method of sealing flue).
and the
(USA & Canada) Direct Connection / Posi-
tive Flue Connection
In Canada, this appliance requires a full re-
line when installing into a masonry fireplace.
In the USA, as a minimum the vent connec-
tor from the insert flue outlet must extend a
minimum of 18" above the damper and the
damper area must be sealed to prevent dilu-
tion air from entering the chimney which will
affect proper drafting of appliance.

Approved Methods of Achieving a Positive
Flue Connection - A qualified installer should
evaluate the existing fireplace to determine
the best method for achieving a positive flue
connection between the vent pipe or liner
and the chimney. The most common method
for achieving a positive flue connection in
masonry fireplaces is to secure a seal-off
plate (i.e. 22-gage sheet steel) in the fire-
place throat using masonry screws. Other
acceptable methods include packing non-
combustible material (i.e. rockwool) around
the vent pipe or using a flue adapter. What-
ever "seal off" method is used must effec-
tively seal the area to prevent room air pas-
sage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace.
