compartment. The 9.5mm (3/8") fl exible
gas hose provided needs to be brought in
from behind this opening. Ensure all gas
connections are tight.

will pass through the chimney above the
appliance. Move the appliance into the
exact location where it is to be installed.
Ensure that the Insert is level.
FLUEING
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT
BE CONNECTED TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING A
SEPARATE SOLID FUEL
BURNING APPLIANCE AND
MUST BE TERMINATED TO
THE OUTDOORS.
This appliance is designed to be attached to
two 3" (76mm) co-linear aluminium fl ex running
the full length of the chimney. The fl ue length
must be a minimum length of 8 ' (2.44m) and
a maximum of 35' (10.7m). See chart below for
minimum distances from roof. Periodically check
that the vent is unrestricted.
Masonry chimneys may take various contours
which the fl exible liner will accommodate.
However, keep the fl exible liner as straight as
possible, avoid unnecessary bending.
The Air Intake pipe must be attached to the inlet
air collar of the termination cap.

GAS PIPE PRESSURE
TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
(3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at
pressures over 3.45 kPa (14" w.c.).
The manifold pressure is controlled by a
regulator built into the gas control, and should
be checked at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure,
both inlet and manifold pressures
should be checked using the valve
pressure ports on the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF"
position.
2) Loosen the "IN" (# 3) and/or "OUT" (# 4)
pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise
with a 1/8" wide fl at screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" (8mm) ID
hose.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION IN MASONRY OR ZERO CLEARANCE CHIMNEY
1) Measure and record dimensions to determine total
Flex Liner length requirements (see instructions below
for details).
2) Carefully feed the liner down the chimney (masonry
or zero clearance) and out through the damper. One
person should feed the liner through the chimney, and
another person should pull the liner from the bottom.
3) After carefully feeding the Flex Liner down the chimney to the bottom, form and angle to line up the Flex
Liner with the vent opening on the appliance.
Important: Do not let the Flex Liner sag below the level
at which it will connect to the appliance or connector.
This could allow hot gas to become trapped and potentially become a fi re hazard. The Flex Liner path should
always be sloped up toward the Termination Cap.
4) Temporarily secure the Flex Liner at the top of the
chimney. Be sure to leave 2-3 inches of fl ex above the
existing chimney to allow for connection to the Termination Kit (Baseplate and Adaptor).

Existing
Chimney
Note: If you are planning to extend the height of the
chimney using Direct Vent GS Pipe, please refer to the
Direct Vent Installation Instructions for information concerning the proper procedure and restrictions of Direct
Vent Pipe.
Also, consult the appliance manufacturer for any height
restrictions of the chimney.
9) Connect the Co-Linear Flex to the two outlets on the
top of the appliance using four sheet metal screws each.
See the appliance manufacturer's instructions for details. Make sure the Flex Liners do not sag behind the
appliance. Finally, move the appliance into its appropriate place. Mount the Adaptor to the Baseplate using
sheet metal screws.
5) Repeat Steps 1-4 for second length of Flex Liner.
6) At the top of the chimney, slide the Baseplate over
the tow ends of the Flex Liner and secure it to the surrounding masonry using masonry anchor bolts. Before
installing the baseplate, run a bead of non-hardening
seal and between the Baseplate and the masonry to
prevent moisture from entering the chimney.
Note: Verify that there is suffi cient room to mount the
Baseplate on to the masonry. You must have a level
surface in order to install the Baseplate properly.
7) Attach the Flex Liner ends at the top of the chimney
to the Co-Linear to Co-Axial Adaptor. Use four sheet
metal screws to connect each Flex Liner run to the
Adaptor.
8) Twist lock the Vertical Termination Cap to the Adaptor.
