3. INSIDE: Remove the securing screw from the front of the
vent mounting plate. (The screw can be accessed through
the trivet opening.) Remove the vent mounting plate and
the slider from its track. FIGURE 24.
4. Route the flex liners through the slider. Attach and se-
cure the liners to the vent mounting plate using the same
procedure as before, ensuring that the marked exhaust
liner is attached to the exhaust collar.
GAS INSTALLATION
Install rigid black pipe, or 1/2" type L, copper tubing with a 3/
8" to 1/2" adapter and a shut off valve to the fireplace. FIG-
URE 25. The adapter will be required between the gas valve
and the copper tubing or flex connector. DO NOT KINK FLEX-
IBLE CONNECTOR!
INSERT VENT CONNECTION
1. Move the insert close to its final position inside the
woodburning fireplace. Level using the four leveling screws
located front and back on either side of the insert base.
Leveling the unit will eliminate rocking or excessive noise
when the fan is in operation. Once the unit is level, pull it out
to a convenient position to allow for all connections to be
made. The levelling bolts are awkward to access once the
burner has been installed.
2. Pull the gasketed vent mounting plate only, back into
the track, to the front stop. Start the slider back into position.
Re-secure the screw. The insert may now be pushed into
its final position inside the woodburning fireplace, and the
screw tightened until the slider has been pulled tight to the
front stop.
CHIMNEY CONNECTION
Chimney installation must conform to both national and
local code requirements. The chimney must be lined with
two 3" diameter liners. The minimum and maximum liner
lengths are 10 and 35 feet respectively. Recommended
Napoleon kits come in 3 lengths: 20 foot (GDI-320KT), 25
foot (GDI-325KT), and 35 foot (GDI-335KT). While the lin-
ers must be continuous from the fireplace to the chimney
cap, to achieve the needed length, they may be coupled,
using an approved coupler.
We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through
unheated spaces, such as a garage or attic, be
wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensa-
tion and reverse flow symptoms. See Trouble Shooting
for details.
1. OUTSIDE: Slip the one end of a liner a minimum of 2"
over the sleeve of the air terminal. Secure using 3 screws.
Then seal the joint and screw heads with high tempera-
ture sealant. Repeat with the other liner.
NOTE: We recommend that the other end of the exhaust
liner be marked to eliminate the exhaust liner being con-
nected to the intake collar at the unit.
2. Gently stretch the liners to the required lengths and in-
sert into the chimney. Trim and fit the flashing plate to suit
the chimney termination. Place the air terminal onto the
top of the chimney. Make weather tight by sealing with caulk-
ing (not supplied). Fasten to the chimney with screws and
plugs.
