Flue Collar Reversal; Install Bottom Heat Shield - Vermont Castings 1920 Installation & Operating Manual

E. Flue Collar Reversal
If a rear exit chimney connection is required, you will need
to remove the flue collar from the stove top and move it to
the back of the stove. (Figure 7.4)
1. Use a phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws and
rear cover plate from the back of the stove.
2. Remove the flue collar by removal of the two phillips
screws from the top of the stove.
3. Attach the cover plate to the stove top. Be sure to keep
the gasket in place.
4. Secure the flue collar to the back of the stove.
5. Insert the crimped end of the first section of chimney
connector into the flue collar. Using the holes in the collar
as guides, drill 1/8" (3mm) holes through the connector
pipe. Use the three #10 x 1/2" sheet metal screws provided
to secure the chimney connection to the flue collar.
