VENT INSTALLATION
4. Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the outside
edge of vent cap. Position the vent cap in the center of hole
on the exterior wall with the word “UP” on the vent cap
facing up. Insure proper clearance of 1" to combustibles is
maintained. Attach the vent cap with four wood screws sup-
plied.
See Figure 14.
NOTE: Replace the wood screws with appropriate fasteners
for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of siding.
For vinyl siding, stucco, or wood exterior use vinyl siding stand-
offs between vent cap and exterior wall. The vinyl siding standoff
prevents excessive heat from melting the vinyl siding material. Bolt
the vent cap to the standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic around
outside edge of the standoff instead of the vent cap assembly. Use
wood screws provided to attach the standoff.
See Figure 15.
5. Slide the wall thimble over the vent pipe before connecting
the horizontal run to the vent cap.
See Figure 16.
6. Carefully move the fireplace with vent assembly attached
toward the wall and insert the vent pipe into the horizontal
termination. The pipe overlap should be a minimum of 1
1

".
Apply silicone to the outer pipe connection. Fasten all vent
connections with screws provided.
7. Slide the wall thimble against the interior wall surface and
attach with srews.
See Figure 16.
