half to the inside wall. The thimble halves slip
inside each other and can be adjusted for 2 x
4 or 2 x 6 walls.
The liners must slip over the
collars a minimum of 1-3/8".
5)
Slip the assembled liner and termination
assembly through the thimble making sure the
termination cap faces up (there are markings
on the cap that show which way is up). This will
position the termination cap with proper down
slope for draining water. Fasten the cap to the
outer wall with the 4 supplied screws.
6)
Pull the centre 4" (102mm) liner and outer
6-7/8" (175mm) liner out enough to slip over the
flue collars of the fireplace. (You may wish to
cut the liner shorter to make it more workable.)
Do not bend liner more than 45
o
.
7)
Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar
and slip the 4"(102mm) liner down over it and
attach with 3 supplied screws.
8)
Do the same with the 6-7/8"(175mm) liner.
9)
Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble
and termination and around the outer edge of
the terminal at the wall in order to keep the
water out.
IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination
hood where excessive snow or ice
buildup may occur. Be sure to check vent
termination area after snow falls, and clear
to prevent accidental blockage of venting
system. When using snow blowers, make
sure snow is not directed towards vent
termination area.
Note: To make the

2)
Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the nailing
strips.
3)
Assemble the vent assembly by applying
Mill Pac to the 4"(102mm) inner collar of the
termination and slipping the 4"(102mm) liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with the
3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Apply Mill Pac to the 6-7/8"(175mm)
flex pipe and slip it over the 6-7/8" outer collar
of the vent terminal at least 1-3/8"(35mm)
and fasten with the 3 screws.
NOTE: Horizontal sections must
be supported at intervals not
exceeding 3 feet (0.9 meter).
(Flame picture and performance
will be affected by sags in the
liner).
4)
Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and
securely fasten the one with the tabs to the
outside wall making sure that the tabs are
on top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble
8)
Install the vertical termination cap by twist-
locking it.
Note: Any closets or storage spaces,
which the vent passes through
must be enclosed.

1)
Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the
gas. Locate the centerline of the termination
and mark wall accordingly. Cut a 10"(254mm)
hole in the wall (inside dimension).
Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance around
the liner must be maintained
except that only a 1" (25mm)
clearance is needed at the
termination end. We recommend
framing a 10"(254mm) x
10"(254mm) (inside dimensions)
hole to give structural rigidity for
mounting the termination.
Note: If installing termination on a
siding covered wall, furring strips
must be used to ensure that the
