Planning Your Installation:
1 | Verify the venting requirements of the appliance used. Choose the liner system appropriate for the appliance and installation. Note: VFT is recommended for all fuels and VG is the best choice for gas. |
2 | Refer to the Typical Installations for the type of liner installation similar to your situation. Identify the needed parts for installation. |
3 | Venting for a fireplace requires the correct liner size for proper drafting. The size of the liner should match the outlet size on the appliance. |
4 | Determined the length of the liner needed. |
5 | If connecting two or more appliances to a common vent, be sure to connect the higher BTU appliance below the lower BTU appliance. |
6 | Make sure of a proper fit for the top plate of the relining to provide a secure, leak-proof installation. |
7 | If a free standing appliance is used, select the vent or stovepipe pieces to connect from the appliance to the liner (refer to the appropriate Simpson Dura-Vent Catalog Section). |
8 | Important! Check to be sure the installation complies with all local and national code requirements, including clearances to combustibles. Contact the local building inspector for permit requirements. |
