NSERT

When Installing this unit in a fireplace, you must attach
the metal label provided (3300-625) to the fireplace prior
to installing the insert. To install the tag,

Make sure that the Fireplace Insert will have enough
clearance to combustible materials that would surround
the insert. These combustibles can include walls, floor,
ceiling, fireplace, and chimney. You must carefully
consider the clearances to all of these combustibles before
actually connecting your Fireplace Insert.

Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding of how
to properly install your Fireplace Insert.

If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it must be
tested to UL standards and listed. Check the listing of
your pipe for actual clearances. The diagrams in this
manual represent typical installations, but are specific to
the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand. Clearances cannot
be reduced without the use of close clearance connector
pipe and/or by protecting the surfaces per NFPA 211
standards.
