pipe. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph,
locate the point it intersects with the slanted graph line.
2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the
bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the fireplace in
accordance with same.
EXAMPLE A:
If the vertical dimension from the floor of the fireplace is 32 feet,
the horizontal run to the outer wall flange must not exceed 5 feet.
