For Vertical Runs
The flue system must be supported every eight
(8) feet (2.4M) above the heater flue outlet by wall
brackets.
To install support brackets for vertical runs:
• Attach wall brackets to the flue pipe and se-
cure the wall bracket to the framing members
with nails or screws.
Use wall brackets to support vertical runs every
8 feet (2.4M) above the heater flue outlet.

4. Install Firestops
For Horizontal Runs -
Firestops are
REQUIRED
on both sides of a combustible wall through which
the flue passes.
To install firestops for horizontal runs that pass
through either interior or exterior walls:
• Cut a 12-inch by 12-inch (305 mm X 305 mm)
hole through the wall. The center of the hole
is one (1) inch (25mm) above the center
of the horizontal flue pipe.
• Position the firestops on both sides of the hole
previously cut and secure the firestops with nails
or screws.
• The heat shields of the firestops
MUST BE
placed towards the top of the hole.
• Continue the flue run through the firestops.

Firestops
For Vertical Runs -
One ceiling firestop is
REQUIRED
at the hole in each ceiling through
which the flue passes.
To install firestops for vertical runs that pass through
ceilings:
• Position a plumb bob directly over the center of
the vertical flue component.
• Mark the ceiling to establish the centerpoint of
the flue.
