VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
The fireplace chimney flue and vent must be draft-
ing properly. To check the vent for proper drafting:
Light a tightly rolled newspaper on one end and
place it at the inside front edge of the fireplace.
Observe the smoke and be sure the vent is pro-
perly drawing it up the chimney. If the smoke
spills out into the room, extinguish the flame and re-
move any obstruction until proper venting is
achieved.
The chimney flue damper must be fixed open to provide a
minimum of 81 sq. in. of free air opening during operation
of this log set. A multipurpose damper clamp is provided
to fix the damper in position.
The minimum flue sizes shown in Figure 2 are based on
a 6' chimney height using round pipe. Your minimum flue
size will vary based on input rate and chimney height. Refer
to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
Section 6.6, for details.
