14 1/2”
Ceiling Opening:
1. Determine the exact position of the fireplace so that the vent pipe is centred (if possible)
between two building framing members. Lay out the vent system path, minimizing the
number of elbows and length of vent. Consult your local building codes prior to proceed-
ing.
2. Cut and frame a 14 1/2" opening in the floor, ceiling or roof where the vent system will
pass. Size of the opening in the roof may need to be increased as the pitch of the roof
increases. Avoid cutting rafters.
Ceiling Firestop:
Where a vent pipe passes through a floor or ceiling, a ceiling firestop must be used to retain
insulation and maintain proper clearances.
From below, push the ceiling firestop through the opening and secure in place. If the firestop
is used to penetrate a floor, the outer shield may be trimmed in length. If the firestop pen-
etrates into an attic, leave the shield full length to keep insulation away from the vent pipe.
Additionally, after the vent pipe is in place, install a storm collar on top of the shield. This will
prevent loose insulation from falling into the area between the vent pipe and the shield.
Vent Pipe:
1. Install the first section of vent pipe into
the collar on top of the fireplace. Secure
in place with screws and seal with ap-
proved "High Temperature" self-adhesive
aluminium tape provided.
2. Continue adding vent pipe lengths up and
through the firestop(s) and through the
roof. The vent pipe must extend at least
24" above the roof.
Seal the vent pipe as per "Vent Pipe
Sealant" section.
Roof Support Bracket:
1. Slip the roof support bracket down over
the vent pipe. Rotate the 90° brackets
to accommodate roof pitch.
2. Attach the brackets to the roof joists
with nails or building screws.
3. Tighten the band around the vent pipe
and secure in place with screws.
Size of the opening will have to
increase with the pitch of the
roof to ensure a 1 3/4" inch air
space clearance between vent
pipe and combustibles.
