1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs are in the way when
the fluing system is attached. If this is the
case, you may want to adjust the location
of the unit.
2) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbow to the appliance adapter with
pipe seams oriented down. Offset the pipe
seams as double seams in one place will
cause the outer pipe to take an oval shape.
Kit comes complete with 18" (457mm) of
straight flue - 6-5/8" (168mm) dia. black
outer pipe and 4" (102mm) dia. inner flue.
3) Withthepipeattachedtothestove,slidethe
stove into its correct location, and mark the
wall for a 9-1/2" (241mm) (inside dimen-
sions) round hole. The center of the round
holeshouldlineupwiththecenterlineof the
horizontalpipe, as shown in diagram 1. Cut
and frame the 9-1/2 (241mm) round hole in
the exterior wall where the flue will be
terminated. If the wall being penetrated is
constructed of non-combustible material,
i.e.masonryblockorconcrete,a 7"(178mm)
diameter hole is acceptable.
Note:
a) The horizontal run of flue should have
a 1/4 inch (6mm) rise for every 1 foot
(305mm) of run towards the termina-
tion. Never allow the flue to run down-
ward. This could cause high tempera-
tures and may present the possibility of
a fire.
b) Thelocation of the horizontal fluetermi-
nation on an exterior wall must meet all
local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. For
External Flue Terminal Locations, see
diagram on page 7.
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical rise
on the exterior of the building, Astro
Riser Vent Terminations as shown in
Dia. 2 is available. Follow the same
installation procedures as used for
standard Horizontal Termination.
NEVER install the Astro Riser vent up-
side down.

Below Grade Snorkel Installation
IftheSnorkelTerminationmustbeinstalled
below grade, i.e. basement application,
proper drainage must be provided to pre-
vent water from entering the Snorkel Ter-
mination. Refer to Dura-Vent Installation
instructions for details.. Do not attempt to
enclose the Snorkel within the wall, or any
other type of enclosure.
4) Installwallpenetration heat shield in thecenter
of the 9-1/2" (241mm) round hole and attach
with wood screws. The four wood screws
provided should be replaced with appropriate
fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other
types of sidings. Dia. 3.
NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE
grade installations, follow national or
local code requirements.
Diagram 3
5) If installing termination on a siding covered
wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips
must be used to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding. Dia. 3.
6) Take the Riser Vent terminal and separate the
Backing Plate from the Riser Vent Front by
removing 8 screws as shown in diagram 4.
7) Install the Backing Plate into the wall
penetration heat shield and attach us-
ing 4 screws. Dia. 4.
8) Connect all pipe sections to unit and
install into wall:
a) Measure pipe length required and
cut to length. Hint: use the cut end
of the 6-5/8" (168mm) dia. outer
pipe at the flue terminal end.
b) Push the pipe sections completely
together,theminimumpipeoverlap
is 1-1/4" (32mm). Secure all outer
pipe joints by using at least two
screws. Locate the screws at the
bottomofthepipesothatthescrew
headsarehiddenonthefinalinstal-
lation. Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to
inner pipe and high temp silicone
sealantor"Mill-Pac"toouterpipeon
every joint.
Hint: Apply sealant to female end.
c) Before connecting the flue pipe to
the fluetermination,slidetheblack
decorative wall thimble cover over
the flue pipe, then slide the Wall
PenetrationHeatShield(Part#946-
202) over the flue pipe. Dia. 3.
d) Slidetheapplianceandflueassem-
bly towards the wall carefully in-
serting the flue pipe into the riser
vent terminal assembly. It is impor-
tant that the flue pipe extends into
the Riser Vent Backing Plate a suf-
ficient distance so as to result in a
minimum pipe overlap of
1-1/4 inches (32mm). Secure the
connection between the flue pipe
and the flue cap by attaching the
two sheet metal strips extending
from the Riser Vent Backing Plate
into the outer wall of the flue pipe.
Use two aluminum screws provid-
ed to connect the strips to the pipe
section. Bend any remaining por-
tion of the sheet metal strip back
towards the flue cap and cut off

GAS PIPE PRESSURE
TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45
kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pres-
sures over 3.45 kPa.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regu-
lator built into the gas control, and should be
checked at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure,
both inlet and manifold pressures
should be checked using the valve
pressure ports on the valve.
1) Makesurethevalveisinthe"OFF"position.
2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure
tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/
8" wide flat screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" (8mm) ID
hose.
4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON"
position. Read manometer.
5) The pressure check should be carried out
with the unit burning and the setting should
be within the limits specified on the safety
label.
6) When finished reading manometer, turn off
the gas valve, disconnect the hose and
tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8"
flat screwdriver. Note: Screw should be

NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly nor-
malduetothefactthattherearevariousgauges
and types of steel used within your appliance.
Listed below are some examples. All are nor-
mal operating sounds and should not be
considered as defects in your appliance.
Blower:
Masport gas appliances use high tech blowers
to push heated air farther into the room. It is not
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound
when ON. This sound will increase or decrease
in volume depending on the speed setting of
your fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a
different gauge material from the rest of the
firebox and body. Therefore, the varying thick-
nesses of steel will expand and contract at
slightly different rates which can cause "tick-
ing" and "cracking" sounds. You should also be
aware that as there are temperature changes
within the unit these sounds will likely re-occur.
Again, this is normal for steel fireboxes.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dullclickingsoundmaybeaudible,thisisnormal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be
heard throughout the cycling process.

One flowing around the thermocouple, the sec-
ond flowing across the rear of the burner (it
does not have to be touching the burner) and
the third flame flowing tangent to the spark
ignitor.
NOTE: If you have an incorrect flame
pattern, contact your Masport dealer for
further instructions.
