RESTRICTOR USAGE / INSTALLATION
The OPTIONAL restr ictor plate included in the fireplace components p acket can be installed as either
a large or small restrictor, depending on your specific venting configuration. It is sized as the
‘large’ restrictor. To reduce the restrictor to a smaller size, remove one or both sections (without
the tabs) at perforation and discard, Figure 6A.
There are several factors which can affect proper draft of the vent system and burner operation of
the fireplace. Installing a restrictor may be necessary to resolve the problem, even though it may
not be required under ‘normal conditions’.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT INSTALL A RESTRICTOR IF THE VENTING
CONFIGURATION IS AT THE MINIMUM VENTING
REQUIREMENTS!
Figure 6
A
Large Restrictor
Remove one or
Restrictor with
section removed
both sections
INSTALLING THE RESTRICTOR:
The restrictor may be placed inside the 4" exhaust pipe on the fireplace either from the top the
fireplace before connection of the chimney to the fireplace is made or from inside the firebox.
Access to the 4" exhaust collar from inside the firebox can be gained by removing the nuts securing
the exhaust baffle at the back.
ALTERNATE METHOD: The restrictor may be placed inside the 4" exhaust pipe on the last section
of chimney before the termination cap is installed.
To install the restrictor, refer to Figure 6B and bend the tabs ‘up’ far enough (approximately
80
o
) so
that when positioned into the exhaust pipe, will create tension to hold itself in place. Do not over
bend tabs! Slide the restrictor into the exhaust pipe with the tabs pointing toward you.
Figure 6B
Bend tabs approximately 80o up. Install with the tabs pointing toward you.
IMPORTANT: RE-INSTALL THE EXHAUST BAFFLE AFTER RESTRICTOR HAS BEEN
INSTALLED IF YOU USED THE ‘ALTERNATE METHOD’ INSTALLATION!
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE NUTS!
