B. Installing Vent Components
Before starting installation of vent kits, the installer
should read the Gas Stove Instructions and the Vent
Kit Instructions to ensure that the proper system has
been selected for the installation.
Determine the exact position of the stove so the vent
pipe is centered (if possible) between two building
framing members. This will avoid any extra framing.
Using a level, make sure the stove is properly
positioned and squared. Minimum clearances to walls
and ceilings must be maintained.
Vent terminals should not be recessed into a wall.
Consult your local Building Code Regulations before
beginning the installation.
WARNING
THIS GAS STOVEAND VENT ASSEMBLY
MUST BE VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE
OUTSIDE AND MUST NEVER BE
ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY SERVING A
SEPARATE SOLID FUEL BURNING
APPLIANCE. EACH GAS APPLIANCE
MUST USE A SEPARATE VENT SYSTEM-
COMMON VENT SYSTEMS ARE
PROHIBITED.
1. Attach the First Vent Component to the
Starting Collars
To attach the first vent component to the starting
collars of the fireplace:
• Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5mm) bead of stove cement
around the 4 inch (100mm) fireplace starting collar.
• Make sure that the fireplace rope gasket supplied
with the fireplace seals between the first vent
component and the outer fireplace wrap.
• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the
concentric pipe sections with four (4) equally
spaced interior beads into the fireplace collar or
previously installed component end with four (4)
equally spaced indented sections.
• When the internal beads of each outer pipe line up,
rotate the pipe section clockwise about one-quarter
(1/4) turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.

15
1.Apply the stove
cement.
2. Line up the internal
beads and rotate the
pipe sections clock-
wise until locked.
3. Lock the vent compo-
nents into place.
Figure 11. Attaching the First Vent Component to
the Starting Collars
WARNING
A 3/8 INCH (9.5 mm) BEAD OF STOVE
CEMENT MUST BE PLACED AROUND
THE STOVE STARTING COLLAR
BEFORE ATTACHING THE FIRST VENT
COMPONENT. FAILURE TO SEAL THIS
JOINT MAY CAUSE THE STOVE TO
OPERATE IMPROPERLY. SEE THE
DIAGRAM .
2. Continue Adding Vent Components
To continue adding vent components in accordance
with the pre-planned vent system configuration:
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is
securely fitted and locked into the preceding
component in the vent system.
90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an
elbow does not end up in a locked position with the
preceding component, attach with a minimum of three
(3) sheet metal screws.

16
Continue adding vent
components, locking
each succeeding
component into place.
Figure 12. Adding Venting Components
3. Install Support Brackets
For Horizontal Runs - The vent system must be
supported every 5 feet (1.5m) of horizontal run by a
horizontal pipe support.
To install support brackets for horizontal runs:
• Place the pipe supports around the vent pipe.
• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.
For Vertical Runs - The vent system must be
supported every 8 feet (2.4m) above the stove vent
outlet by wall brackets.
To install support brackets for vertical runs:
• Attachwallbracketstotheventpipeandsecurethewall
