REAR VENT CONVERSION
Converting flue take-off to rear venting
When switching out the flue and inlet vent collars to run horizontally
off the rear vent, the following steps must be taken.
1. Remove the inlet vent collar (8 screws) and flue collar (4 screws)
from the top of the fireplace, and set to the side.
2. Remove the inlet cover plate and flue cover plate located on the
back of the fireplace. These will be used to close the top flue
and inlet openings.
3. Insert the insulation retainer bracket and insulation into the top
flue pipe before reinstalling the flue cover plate over the top flue
with 4 screws.
4. Reinstall the inlet cover plate over the top inlet opening with 4
screws. See illustration above.
5. Install the flue collar assembly to the rear flue with 4 screws.
6. Install the inlet vent collar to the rear of the fireplace with 8
screws.
7. This completes the conversion for a rear vent application.
Note: for top vented installations, the insulation and retainer are
to be removed from the flue pipe and discarded.
