Installation of Vent Restrictor
A vent restrictor may be needed with this
appliance. The restrictor is installed in the
appliance top flue outlet as shown in Figure
16, either before adding vent, from above, or
after installation of vent from below, within the
firebox. The restrictor is self securing through
a positive friction fit.
Determine the venting for the appliance. If the
vent run will include at least 8 feet of vertical
rise, then install the restrictor in the appliance
collar before connecting any vent (Refer to
Figure 16). Place the restrictor inside the ap-
pliance vent collar and press in place.
Note: The restrictor is included within the
firebox.
Step 3. INSTALL THE VENT SYSTEM
General Information
These instructions should be used as a
guideline and do not supersede local codes
in any way. Install venting according to local
codes, these instructions, the current National
Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) in the USA or
the current standards of CAN/CSA-B149.1
in Canada.

These fireplaces must be vented directly
to the outside.
The vent system may 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 enclosed
wall (such as a chase). There is no requirement
for inspection openings in the enclosing wall at
any of the joints in the vent pipe.
