Chimney Routes
1) This fireplace must be vented with a 8" (200mm)
diameter Class “B” vent. The installation of the
venting system must conform and be in accor-
dance with the natural gas installation code CAN/
CGA - B149 (Canada), ANSI Z223.1 (U.S.A.), AG
601 (Australia), and NZS 5261 (New Zealand).
Minimum chimney height from base of fireplace
must be at least 12 feet (3.7m).
INSTALLATION
2) Masonry Chimney Installation:
This application can be connected to a masonry
chimney flue. Make sure the masonry chimney is
clean and in good working order. When an exist-
ing masonry chimney is unlined and local experi-
ence indicates that gas condensation may be a
problem or if local codes dictate, an approved liner
should be installed. Use “B” Vent to bridge the
gap between the fireplace and the masonry chim-
ney. To ensure proper flue sizing and operation it
is recommended that the masonry chimney be
lined with an approved aluminium chimney liner of
the same diameter as the “B” Vent. Make sure
connection between “B” Vent and masonry is
completely sealed. Flue pipe exposed to cold air
should be insulated in a chase. If condensation
occurs, a trap should be installed at bottom of flue.
