MASONRY FLUES: INSTALLING THE CO-LINEAR LINER KIT
The co-linear (side by side) liner configuration enables installation without removing the fireplace damper assembly. Mark, cut and form the top sealer plate to fit the masonry flue liner at the top of the existing chimney as shown at right. Determine the exhaust liner length needed by measuring from the top of the chimney to the fireplace floor. Cut the exhaust length from the 40' length of 4" flexible aluminum liner supplied, attach it to the exhaust port on the underside of the top sealer plate with a pipe clamp or sheet metal screws and silicone sealant. Fish the liner down through the fireplace damper below. Glue the top sealer plate to the masonry flue liner with silicone adhesive and twist-lock the rain cap onto the top. Down below, use a pipe clamp or screws and silicone sealant to attach the exhaust liner to the bottom adapter box, which is used to connect the liners to the insert. Attach the remaining length of liner to the intake port on the bottom adapter box and curl the top over, then insert it up through the fireplace damper into chimney.
Note: maximum allowable exhaust liner height is 35 feet.

GAS HOOKUP: The 3/8" gas inlet is located near left/right center of insert, just behind bottom grill, threads pointing to right. to make the connection, thread a 3/8" X 36" stainless flex connector through the rectangular opening in right side panel, located 3" behind the front panel and 1" up from bottom.

METAL CHIMNEYS: INSTALLING THE CO-AXIAL LINER KIT
Mark and cut the top sealer plate to fit the OD of the existing round metal chimney as shown at right. Cut the exhaust length needed from the 40' length of 4" flexible aluminum liner supplied, attach it to the exhaust flange on the underside of the top sealer plate with a pipe clamp or sheet metal screws and silicone sealant. Fish the liner down through the fireplace damper below. Glue the top sealer plate to the chimney top with silicone adhesive and twist-lock the rain cap onto the top. Down below, thread the 4" exhaust liner through the supplied 5' length of 6" intake liner, then use clamps or screws and silicone sealant to attach both liners to the adapter box. Make sure the top end of the 6" intake length extends up into the chimney. Pack the void between the intake liner and the chimney with high- temperature fiberglass.
Note: maximum allowable exhaust liner height is 35 feet.

GAS HOOKUP: The 3/8" gas inlet is located near left/right center of the insert, just behind the bottom grill, threads pointing to the right. to make the connection, thread a 3/8" X 36" stainless flex connector through the rectangular opening in right side panel, located 3" behind the front panel and 1" up from bottom.
