H. Install Vertical Termination Cap
• Attach the vertical termination cap by sliding the inner
collar of the cap into the inner flue of the pipe section
while placing the outer collar of the cap over the outer
flue of the pipe section.
• Secure the cap by driving three self-tapping screws
(supplied) through the pilot holes in the outer collar of the
cap into the outer flue of the pipe (see Figure 10.15).

I. Install Decorative Wall Components
A decorative wall thimble can be installed on wall through
which the vent passes. The decorative wall thimble is used
to cover the firestop.
• Slide the decorative wall thimble over the last section of
horizontal pipe before connecting the termination cap to
the pipe.
• Once the pipe section and the termination cap have been
connected, slide the wall thimble up to the interior wall
surface and attach with screws provided. See Figure
10.16.

J. Heat Shield Requirements for Horizontal
Termination
WARNING! Risk of Fire! To prevent overheating and fire,
heat shields must extend through the entire wall thick-
ness.
• DO NOT remove the heat shields attached to the
wall shield firestop and the horizontal termination cap
(shown in Figure 10.17).
• Heat shields must overlap 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) mini-
mum.
There are two sections of the heat shield. One section is
factory-attached to the wall shield firestop. The other sec-
tion is factory-attached to the cap. See Figure 10.17.
If the wall thickness does not allow the required 1-1/2 in.
(38 mm) heat shield overlap when installed, an extended
heat shield must be used.
• If the wall thickness is less than 4-1/4 in. (111 mm)
(SLP), the heat shields on the cap and wall shield
firestop must be trimmed. A minimum 1-1/2 in. (38 mm)
overlap MUST be maintained.
• Use an extended heat shield if the finished wall thick-
ness is greater than 7-1/4 in. (184 mm).
• The extended heat shield may need to be cut to length
maintaining sufficient length for a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm)
overlap between heat shields.
• Attach the extended heat shield to either of the existing
heat shields using the screws supplied with the extend-
ed heat shield. Refer to vent components diagrams in
the back of this manual.
• Rest the small leg on the extended heat shield on top of
the pipe section to properly space it from the pipe sec-
tion.
Important Notice: Heat shields may not be field constructed.
