PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
• When locating termination cap, it is impor-
tant to observe the minimum clearances
shown in Figure 7, page 7.
• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra
framing by positioning your fireplace against
an already existing framing member.
• Do not recess termination cap into a wall
or siding.
• You may paint the termination cap with
450º F (232º C) heat-resistant paint to
coordinate with the exterior finish.
• There must not be any obstruction such
as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks
or utility buildings within 24" from the front
of the termination cap.
• Do not locate termination cap where exces-
sive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure
to clear vent termination area after snow falls
to prevent accidental blockage of venting
system. When using snow blowers, do not
direct snow towards vent termination area.
