The ENVIRO CARA has been designed for use with an add-in restrictor. The restrictor is designed to
maintain 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.
1. Choose the appropriate restrictor for the installation (see i

gloves or oven mitts.

30) and fasten in place with the two (2) ¼” hex head screws.
4. Re-install the firebox baffle and the door.

1. Set the appliance in the desired location. Check to determine
if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when the venting
system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust
the location of the appliance.
2. Direct vent pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock
connections. Assemble the desired combination of black pipe
and elbows to the appliance adapter with pipe seams oriented
towards the wall or floor, as much out of view as possible.
Place a bead of Mil-Pac on the outer edge of the inner exhaust
pipe (non-flared end). Place a bead of high temperature
silicone on the male edge of the outer pipe. Push the pipe
sections completely together, then twist-lock one section
clockwise approximately ¼ turn, until the two sections are
fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible from
