Flex Vent Pipes
Before joining the flex vent pipe to the unit, apply a
bead of high temperature sealant* (provided) to the 4”
pipe exiting the fireplace. Secure flex vent pipe in place
with a hose clamp (provided).
*Be sure the flex pipe overlaps at least 1” (25mm) onto
the collars of the fireplace and termination. If the ter-
mination has an internal bead, be sure to overlap and
secure 1” (25 mm) past the bead.
