Co-linear Vent Installation

The GF 3 DV Allagash may be vented through a
masonry or Class A prefabricated chimney using a
Co-linear Flexible Vent system approved for use with
a solid-fuel burning fireplace, When installed in the
manner described below, this system can improve
the performance of the appliance in cold climate
situations, as well as simplify the vent installation.
These guidelines must be followed:
1. Prior to the installation the chimney flue must be

thoroughly cleaned and inspected by a qualified
chimney service person.

2. In a masonry chimney, a fireclay liner must be

present the entire length of the chimney.

3. Prefabricated chimneys must be UL 103 or ULC S-

629 listed and have a minimum INSIDE diameter
of 6 inches, (150 mm).

4. No appliance can be installed into a chimney flue

serving any other appliance of any kind.

5. THE AIR INTAKE FLEX PIPE MUST EXTEND BEYOND

THE DAMPER AREA OF THE FIREPLACE.

6. If the intake flex does not extend the full length of

the chimney and connect to both the unit and the
termination cap, A METAL BLOCK OFF PLATE MUST
BE CONSTRUCTED AND INSTALLED ABOVE THE
UNIT PRIOR TO THE END OF THE INTAKE FLEX AND
MUST COMPLETELY SEAL THE CHIMNEY FLUE
FROM THE ROOM.

Consult with the local code authority having

jurisdiction before proceeding with this type of
installation.

Refer to the vent manufacturer’s instructions for

specific installation requirements.
