Installing Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield
Measure from the fl oor to the center of the vent pipe. Cut
out a 9-1/2 in. (241 mm) hole in the wall. Hold the trim
ring/heat shield assembly in place and put a mark on the
shield with a black marker where it protrudes through the
exterior wall. See Figure A on the next page.
Use that mark as a guide to trim off excess heat shield
with a pair of sheet metal shears.
Figure 5.34
assembly make sure the trim ring is centered in the hole
and that the shield is above the pipe. There must be a
minimum of 3/4 in. (19 mm) minimum clearance main-
tained to combustibles from the top of the heat shield.
Ensure that framing on the inside of the wall is a mini-
mum inner framing diameter of 10 in. x 10. in. (254 mm
