WARNING: INSTALLATION OF THIS FIRE-

SHIELD ABOVE THE FIRST 90

ELBOW IN THE
VENTING SYSTEM.
Figure 19
To Install the Heat Shield:
1. Determine if the heat shield is required. Do so by mea-
suring the vertical distance between the top horizontal
surface of the elbow to any combustible surface above.
If the distance is more than 4 inches, the heat shield is
NOT
required. If it is 4 inches or less, the heat shield
IS
REQUIRED
. Install per the following steps. See Figure 19.
!
• Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed-
ing component into place.
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure-
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the
vent system.
• 90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding component’s vertical axis. If an el-
bow does not end up in a locked position with the pre-
ceding component, attach with a minimum of two (2)
sheet metal screws.

2. Fasten the shield in place using the pilot holes provided
in the part. The shield should be oriented such that the
13 1/8 inch dimension (longest dimension) is running in
the same direction the elbow is pointing. The shield should
be centered directly above the elbow, and positioned so
that it creates a 1/2 inch airspace between the shield
and the combustible surface. See Figure 20.
