Figure 22: Restrictor plate settings.

The ENVIRO WESTPORT has been designed with a built in restrictor

plate. The restrictor is designed to enhance flame appearance when

installing this unit with vertical chimneys as well as installations with

longer horizontal vent applications. It does this by controlling the

amount of air moving through the vent pipe.
Figure 23 shows the vent restrictor position required, relative to the

length of vent pipe. Longer vertical vent lengths necessitate greater

restriction; position 1 is open and position 5 is maximum restriction

(refer to Figure 22). To avoid injury, it is best to make this adjustment

when the fireplace is cool or use welder’s gloves or oven mitts.

Figures 23 & 24 show the range of venting options, they show possible vent configurations if the unit is

top vented (see Figure 23) or rear vented (see Figure 24), for vertical and horizontal terminations, any

layout that remains within the shaded area is acceptable. Having the fewest number of elbows is ideal,

as they tend to disrupt air movement. Using 45˚ elbows is preferable to using 90˚ elbows. Also, a shorter

vent system will perform better than a longer one.
