The Optima 32

Requires two

Flexible gas flue

liners

Flue Collar (inlet) -

3” (76 mm) diameter

Flue Collar (outlet) -

3” (76 mm) diameter

Caution: Only two 3” (76 mm) “FLEX-MASTER” Model GA gas flex vent liners (or approved equivalent)

and a vent terminal is approved for use with this appliance.

Approved vent terminals are:

Archgard terminal. Part # TK-40/32.

Simpsons Dura-Vent terminal. Part #980, 923GK (adaptor with flashing) or 991 (high wind cap)

NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEM OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED. If you are using “Dura-Vent” verti-

cal termination cap, follow the instructions provided with the “Dura-Vent” cap.

This appliance is designed to attach to two 3” (76 mm) co-linear aluminum flex gas liners running the full

length of the chimney. The flue length must be a minimum of 8’ (2.44 M) and a maximum of 35’ (10.6 M)

(The exhaust vent restrictor provided with this appliance must only be used by installing it in the

exhaust collar, before attaching the flex liner, on Natural gas units with vent heights to 20’ (6.1 M)

restrictor #1 20’ and above restrictor #2). Also refer to the following page for details. The minimum flue

size is 4” x7” (100 mm X 178 mm).

Masonry chimneys may take various contours which the flexible liner will accommodate, however, keep

the flexible liner as straight as possible, avoiding unnecessary bending but at all times keep a minimum of

3” (76 mm) inside bend radius.

The Air Intake Flex Liner must be connected to the inlet air collars of the termination cap and the appli-

ance. The Exhaust Flex Liner must be connected to the exhaust collars of the termination cap and the

appliance. (DO NOT MIX-UP THESE CONNECTIONS).

The Air intake and Exhaust connections are marked on the gas appliance. See Fig. 1.

CAUTION: To ensure that the venting path is not accidentally obstructed or punctured, the

damper of the host fireplace must be permanently disabled by either complete removal of the

damper, or welding it in its “open” position. Temporarily disabling the damper with braces,

wedges, brackets, etc., is not allowed.

VENTING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a properly installed and main-

tained venting system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

The appliance must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate solid fuel

burning appliance.
