Common questions

Is the venting included?
No. Like every manufacturer, Superior sells the pipe separately because every house needs a different run. Use the 8DM / 8HT 8 in. chimney page to pick the lengths, elbows and termination, or call us with your framing height and we will build the vent kit for you.

Who installs it?
This unit is sold and shipped direct from the manufacturer; installation is by your own certified hearth installer, working from the manual below.
