3.
Attach vent pipe assembly to the fire-
place. Set fireplace in front of it’s perma-
nent location to insure minimum clear-
ances. See page 10, Figure 16 for mini-
mum clearances for vertical on rigid
vent pipe, and page 10 Figure 17 on
flexible vent pipe. Mark the wall for a
10" square hole (for noncombustible ma-
terial such as masonry block or concrete,
a 7
1
/
2
" diameter hole is acceptable). See
Figure 12. The center of the hole should
line up with the center-line of the hori-
zontal rigid vent pipe. Cut a 10"x10"
(254mm x 254mm) square hole through
combustible exterior wall (7

Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic
around the outside edge of the vent cap.
Position the vent cap in the center of
the 7

" or 10" hole on the exterior
wall with the arrow on the vent cap
pointing up. Insure proper clearance of
1" to combustibles is maintained. At-
tach the vent cap with four wood screws
supplied (see Figure 13).
Note
: Re-
place the wood screws with appropri-
ate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete,
or other types of siding.
5.
For vinyl siding use vinyl siding stand-
offs between vent cap and exterior wall.
The vinyl siding standoff prevents ex-
cessive heat from melting the vinyl sid-
ing material. Bolt the vent cap to the
standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic
around outside edge of the standoff in-
stead of the vent cap assembly. Use
wood screws provided to attach the
standoff. See Figure 14.
6.
Slide the wall thimble over the vent
pipe before connecting the horizontal
run to the vent cap (see Figure 15).
7.
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
/
4
". Apply silicone
to the outer pipe connection. Fasten all
vent connections with screws provided.
Refer to Fireplace Installation on page
16 for instructions on securing unit to
framing or floor.
8.
Slide the wall thimble against the inte-
rior wall surface and attach with screws
provided (see Figure 15).
