1. Position the vertical vent heat shield in front of the vent pipe,
with the flanges facing towards the fireplace face as
necessary for the type of installation. Figure 11.7 shows a
typical horizontal termination installation; Figure 11.9 shows
a typical corner installation.
2. Align the (2) slots on the vertical heat shield flanges with
corresponding screw holes located in front of the flue outlet
on the top of the fireplace.
3. Secure the vertical vent heat shield to the fireplace with (2)
attachment screws (provided in the components package).
See Figure 11.7, Installed Vent Heat Shield.
MINIMUM HORIZONTAL VENTING
4. Bend perforation on the (3) hand-tabs down on the
horizontal vent heat shield, as shown in Figure 11.8a,
Horizontal Vent Heat Shield.
5. Locate (3) screw holes on the vertical vent heat shield.
There are (2) sets of screw holes, allowing for natural gas
and LP gas minimum horizontal venting. See Figure 11.8b,
Installed Horizontal Vent Heat Shield.
6. Align the (3) slots on horizontal vent heat shield tabs to the
corresponding (3) screws holes on the vertical vent heat
shield necessary for your installation.
7. Attach the horizontal vent heat shield with screws (provided)
through the screw holes on the vertical vent heat shield.
8. The 1 in. (25 mm) vent stand-off tab will rest on top of the
vent pipe, providing the required minimum 1 in. (25 mm)
clearance from the vent pipe surface. See Figure 11.8b,
Installed Horizontal Vent Heat Shield.

Vent Heat Shield Assembly Installation
IMPORTANT
The vent heat shield assembly contains (2) components, the vertical heat shield and the horizontal vent heat shield.
The vertical vent heat shield must be installed for every type of venting application.
The horizontal vent heat shield must be installed when horizontal venting with the required minimum vertical rise, as outlined in
11.3.2, Horizontal Venting Configurations, on page 19. Refer to Figures 11.2 through 11.5, on page 19, for guidance.

NOTE
The (6) screw holes, located in front of the flue outlet on top of the fireplace, allow to offset the vertical vent heat shield to position in
front of the vent pipe. Align the heat shield as necessary for type of installation and venting configuration used. Refer to 6.0, Typical
Installation Options, on page 13, for guidance.
