Standard Vertical Installation Configurations
Models: Optima 2 FS and Optima 3 FS
These freestanding models may be connected to an
existing flue or by installing listed type “PL” vent pipe. If
a liner is run all the way to the top of the existing chim-
ney, the existing flue should be sealed with a steel
plate. Start a vertical run with a Tee at the back of the
stove. Other options are illustrated below. Note: See
page 15 for Vent Termination Requirements
Exterior Vertical Vent
Vertical Vent Into A Masonry Flue
Preferred Installation – Vertical Vent Through the
Roof
This venting configuration allows for the best stove
performance. The vertical pipe promotes natural draft
and with the chimney inside the dwelling, the flue
gases stay warm, thus rising at a consistent rate.
