Diagram A

When the Sterling HT is installed inside or in front of an existing fireplace, a Co-linear intake/exhaust system is used.

First, the Vertical Vent Adapter must be attached to the stove. If the Sterling is to stand inside the fireplace as shown in Diagram A, a co-linear converter box is attached to the Adapter: if the Sterling is to stand outside the fireplace on the hearth as shown in Diagram B, a 90-degree elbow is used between the Adapter and the converter box. The converter box is then connected to a similar box at the flue top by two lengths of 3" aluminum flex, one for intake and one for exhaust. A coaxial rain cap completes the installation. With this system, combustion air is contained within the intake flex so it can't enter the room through the fireplace opening.

Minimum Fireplace Opening Height:
For inside the fireplace installations (Diagram A): 28"
For hearth installations (Diagram B): 37-3/4"

Note: The 3" aluminum liners are small enough to snake right through the fireplace damper opening, and flexible enough to allow the bottom converter box to be oriented sideways for hearth installation.
