VENT INSTALLATION 
INSTALLATION FOR VERTICAL TERMINATION 
1.  Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joist, 
roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, 
consider an offset. See Figure 30 to avoid cutting load bearing 
members. 
For optimal flame appearance, a restrictor disk is necessary on 
straight vertical runs of 20' of more.
 
•  Runs may not incorporate elbows. 
 
•  The disk is part number 45D0551 and is included in instal-
lation manual packet.
 
•  Drop the disk into a 4" inner collar before installing the first 
section of flue or install at the last section before installing the 
termination.
 
•  An additional disk may be installed on runs of 35' or more. 
Rotate disks perpendicular to each other. 
NOTE: Pay special attention to these installation instructions 
for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when 
passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic 
rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also 
note maximum vertical rise of the venting system and any 
maximum horizontal offset limitations. Offsets must fall 
within the parameters shows in Figure 13, page 20.
2.  Set fireplace in desired location. Drop a line plumb down from 
the ceiling to the position of the flue exit. Mark the center point 
where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small locating 
hole a this point. 
 
Drop a plumb line from the inside of the roof to the ceiling 
locating hole in the ceiling. Mark the center point where the 
vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a small locating hole at this 
point. 
FLAT CEILING INSTALLATION
1.  Cut a 9

(241mm x 241mm) inside dimensions as shown in Figure 32using 
framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joist. If the area 
above the ceiling is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail firestop 
from the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into 
the required clearance space. See Figure 31. Otherwise, install 
firestop below the framed hole. See Figure 32. 
2.  Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary to 
reach from the burner system flue up through the firestop. Be sure 
pipe and elbow connections are fully twist-locked. See Figure 
15, page 18.
