Vertical Termination
A vertical vent system must terminate no less than 8’
(2.44 m) and no more than 40’ (12 m) above the ap-
pliance flue collar. A restrictor plate (supplied) must be
used, where specified, in all vertically terminated vent
systems. (Refer to Figure 8) NOTE: The restrictor
plate supplied with the vertical termination should
be discarded. Adjust the restrictor plate according
to recommendations in Figure 10. A vertically termi-
nated vent system must also conform to the following
criteria:
No more than three 90° elbows may be used.
Two 45° elbows may be substituted for one 90˚
elbow. No more than six 45° elbows may be used.
Vent must rise a minimum of 2 feet (305 mm) before
offset is used.
Termination height must conform to roof clearance
as specified in Figure 11.

Restrictor Plate Adjustment
for Extended Pipe Runs
The Radiance stove is shipped with a restrictor plate
in the Parts Bag. Adjustments can be made by loosen-
ing the adjustment screw to allow the restrictor plate to
slide up or down. (Fig. 9) A guide for usage is shown in
Figure 10.
NOTE: Some installations may require some adjust-
ment by the installer for optimum flame appearance.
Optimum flame appearance is a flame that is not sub-
ject to tall, dirty yellow flames producing soot or flames
lifting off of the ember bed ports.
Restrictor Plate Adjustment
1. Remove the screw in the back wall of the firebox.
2. Install restrictor plate as shown in Figure 9 with cut
out on left side. Secure with adjustment screw.
2. Measure from center of screw to top edge of diverter
(Fig. 9) to adjust plate according to guidelines in
Figure 10.
3. Tighten attachment screw.
4. Install logs following log installation instructions.
