The Large Fireplace Plug is very easy to install or remove.

First, take a flashlight and carefully inspect the firebox up to and including the damper. Insure that there are no sharp or jagged pieces of mortar, metal or protruding screws etc. If you find any of these impediments they should be removed or hammered flat so there is no danger of tearing the Fireplace Plug urethane plug. If your damper has a handle that will interfere with installation you have several options:

1. Remove the handle.

2. The masonry (rectangular) model has 5 slittable sealed areas to accommodate a damper handle. Be very careful not to cut into the sealed area. Make the cut a little smaller than the handle to minimize air leakage.

3. The metal (round) model of The Fireplace Plug is shaped to curl snugly around a damper handle; the two 'tails' wrap around the handle and provide a good seal.

Use a brush or scraper to remove excess soot to ensure a cleaner seal.Remove the product from the package and assemble the prop device following the enclosed diagram. Blow a few breaths of air into the inflation tube to give the Fireplace Plug some shape. Use the handle of the prop to position the Fireplace Plug in the firebox just below the damper.

Slide the locking wedge to set the proper height for the prop to rest on the floor of your fireplace.

Breath air into the inflation tube until the Fireplace Plug seals the firebox.

The Fireplace Plug is easily removed to enjoy a fire. Turn the inflation tube valve to let enough air out of the Fireplace Plug to break the seal. Using the prop handle remove the deflated plug and place it into a large plastic garbage bag for clean storage. When the fireplace has completely cooled you can safely reinsert the product.


Here are 3 tips that should assist you with a fast and easy install for our large plug:

1. Lower the air pressure so the plug is not hard. If you put in too much air it will become stiff and could create gaps. The plug should seal all gaps and conform to the shape of the fireplace.

2. Lower the pole and install in a "V" not a "^". After you insert it tuck the front and back up. Then add a little more air so it seals.

3. Please note that it is not always necessary to make a slit to accommodate the damper handle. Trial fit the plug first without making any slit for the damper handle. If the damper handle is in the way, open the damper to move the handle, or remove the handle temporarily.
