Full Flue Liner - (Required in Canada)
1) Measure the chimney height from the top of the existing
flue to the floor of the hearth. This will allow extra length
of liner for flashing and rain cap.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner from top of the chimney,
through the damper area and into the fireplace cavity.
3) Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner.
4) Push the Insert into position inside the fireplace and attach
the connector to the stove collar. Use the rear adjusting
legs to level the Insert.
Note: For better access, the top of the casing may be removed
(Fig. #4). If it is necessary to get access to the connector
pipe through the flue outlet of the Insert, the baffle can be
removed (see Baffle Removal section).
5) Measure, trim and shape a top flashing to fit the existing
chimney flue. Plan for a 1” to 1-1/2” overlap on each side.
Place flashing over top of the liner and seat firmly against
the tile.
6) Screw flashing collar to liner. Caulk gap around flashing
with RTV silicone.
7) Attach a rain cap to the end of the liner. A storm collar may
be used if desired.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your fireplace chim-
ney.
Direct Flue Connection
1) Measure from the first chimney flue liner to the top of the
Insert. Allow extra length of liner to insert into flue tile.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner through the damper area and
into the first chimney flue tile. Seal around pipe.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local codes,
when a direct flue connection is used. Consult local codes.
3) Push the Insert into position inside the fireplace and attach
the connector pipe to the stove collar. Use the rear
adjusting legs to level the Insert.
Note: For better access, the top of the casing may be removed
(Fig. #4). If it is necessary to get access to the connector
pipe through the flue outlet of the Insert, the baffle can be
removed (see Baffle Removal section).

Into a Factory Built Fireplace
Your Pacific Insert may be installed into a factory built
fireplace with the following requirements:
1) Inspect your fireplace for damage or other physical de-
fects. The fireplace must be in good working condition. If
in doubt about its condition, seek professional advice.
Check for creosote build up or other obstructions inside the
chimney, especially if it has not been in use for some time.
Before installing, clean your chimney system thoroughly.
2) A full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner meeting type
HT requirements (2100°F) per 1777(U.S.) or ULC S635
(Canada) must be used for both safety and performance.
The liner must be securely attached to the insert flue collar
and the chimney top.
3) The surround must be sealed to the fireplace front or the
damper area around the chimney liner must be sealed to
prevent room air entering the chimney cavity of the fire-
place.
4) The air flow within and around the fireplace must not be
altered by the installation of the Insert (i.e. no blockage of
louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports). This includes
the circulating air chambers in a steel fireplace or metal
heat circulator.
5) Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not permitted
with the following exceptions:
a: external trim pieces which do not affect the operation of
the fireplace may be removed and stored on or within the
fireplace for re-assembly if the Insert is removed.
b: the chimney damper may be removed to install the liner.
