Attach the Chimney Connector
1. Insert the crimped end of the first section of chimney
connector into the flue collar.
2. Using the holes in the collar as guides, drill 1/8"
(3mm) holes through the connector pipe.
3. Use the three #10 x 1/2" sheet metal screws pro-
vided to secure the chimney connection to the flue
collar.
If applicable, attach Chimney Connector Heat Shields
following the instructions included with those parts.
Flue Collar Reversal
The Intrepid is shipped with the Flue Collar in the Top
Exit position. Follow these steps to orient th collar for a
Rear Exit installation.
1. Remove the Flue Collar Heat Shield, (used for top-
exit installations only).
2. Remove the two screws that attach the flue collar to
the stove and turn the collar upside-down to face the
rear.
3. Confirm that the gasket is seated properly and
resecure the screws.
Install the Outside Air Adaptor
The optional #1878 Outside Air Adaptor provides a
collar to which a 3 inch diameter air duct may be
attached directly to the air inlet area at the back of the
stove.
Use the four sheet metal screws provided in the kit to
attach the adaptor to the center mounting flange at the
bottom of the Rear Shroud.
Install Smokeshelf / Firebricks
Look inside the firebox and locate the position for the
Smokeshelf. It will seat against the upper Back, directly
under the Flue Collar. It is supported by ribs cast into
the air manifolds on either side and along the back
plate. (Fig. 29)
1. Orient the Smokeshelf Plate as illustrated and apply
a bead of furnace cement along the rib at the back
edge.
2. Apply a bead of cement along the top of each Side
Rib on which the Smokeshelf will rest. (Fig. 29)
3. Position the Smokeshelf above the #3 Air Tube so
that it seats against the Back wall and upon the Side
Ribs.
4. Insert the three Upper Firebricks into position above
the Secondary Air Tubes as shown in Figure 30.
Insert the bricks up betweeen the #1 and #2 Air
Tubes. The firebricks do not need cement - they
simply rest directly upon the air tubes. Push each
firebrick fully back against the Smokeshelf plate.
