These fireplaces are designed, tested
and listed for operation and installation
with, and only with, Secure Vent™ Direct
Vent System Components, Secure Flex™

to the outside.
The vent system must not service multiple
appliances, and must never be connected to a
flue serving a solid fuel burning appliance. The
vent pipe is tested to be run inside an enclo-
sure (such as a chase). There is no require-
ment for inspection openings in the enclosure
at any of the joints in the vent pipe.

Each of the unit's two vent collars are sealed
with a cover plate and a seal cap. The cover
plate and seal cap must be removed from the
vent collar being used. Refer to

for rear, and the
following steps to prepare the appropriate
collar for use.
From the vent collar being used, remove the
two screws securing the vent cap. Twist the
cap counterclockwise. Pull it away from the
unit and discard, along with the piece of
insulation.
