Step 1.
Follow installation Steps 1 and 2 under vertical installation
section, page 15.
Step 2.
Remove shingles or other roof covering as necessary to cut
the rectangular hole for the support box. Cut the hole 1/8 in.
(3mm) larger than the support box outline.
Step 3.
Lower the support box through the hole in the roof until the
bottom of the support box protrudes at least 2 in. (51mm)
below the ceiling (
Figure 5.17
). Align the support box both
vertically and horizontally with a level. Temporarily tack the
support box in place through the inside walls and into the
roof sheathing.

Step 4.
Using tin snips, cut the support box from the top corners
down to the roof line, and fold the resulting flaps over the
roof sheathing (
Figure 5.18
). Before nailing it to the roof,
run a bead of non-hardening mastic around the top edges
of the support box to make a seal between it and the roof.
Clean out any combustible material from inside the support
box.
Step 5.
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows necessary
to reach from the appliance up through the round support
box. Ensure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their
fully twist-locked position. Assemble as instructed.
Step 6.
Place the support clamp (provided with the support box)
inside the support box (at the bottom), and secure to the
pipe section. The clamp allows the support box to support
the weight of the pipe sections. Continue to add pipe
sections until you are above the roof line.
Step 7.
Complete the cathedral ceiling installation by following the
same procedures outlined in steps 7 through 9 for vertical
installations, pages 16-17.
Step 8.
Install the black trim collar around the outside of the cathedral
ceiling support box (
Figure 5.19
). The two pieces of the trim
collar slide over one another to allow for easy adjustment
around the support box. Using the six screws provided,
secure the four corners and the overlapping sections of the
trim collar to the ceiling. You may want to predrill the holes
for the overlapped sections for ease of installation.
