WARNING: Do not recess
vent termination into any wall.
This will cause a fire hazard.
6. Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position
horizontal vent cap in center of 8
hole and attach to exterior wall with four
wood screws provided. Before attaching
vent cap to exterior wall, run a bead of
non-hardening mastic (pliable sealant)
around outside edges to make a seal
between it and outside wall.
Note: Four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete or other types of
sidings (see Figure 13).
Combustible Exterior Wall: For vinyl
siding, stucco or wood exteriors, a siding
standoff may be installed between vent
cap and exterior wall. Siding standoff
prevents excessive heat from damaging
siding materials. Siding material must be
cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt vent
cap to standoff. Apply non-hardening
mastic around outside edge of standoff.
Position standoff/cap assembly in center
of the 11 / " square hole and attach to
1

exterior wall with wood screws provided
(see Figure 14). Siding standoff must sit
flush against exterior fascia material.
7. Connecting vent Cap with Horizontal
vent Pipe: Fit outer and inner wall firestop
into wall before connecting horizontal run
to vent cap (see Figure 15).
Carefully move fireplace, with vent assem-
bly attached, toward wall and insert vent
pipe into horizontal termination. The pipe
overlap should be a minimum of 1
Slide wall firestop against interior wall sur-
face and attach with screws provided (see
Figure 16, page 14). See Figure 17, page
14, for horizontal termination details.
Place fireplace into position and shim with
noncombustible material, if needed. Nail
or screw side flanges to framing to secure
unit in place. IMPORTANT: Make sure fire-
place is level before securing. If fireplace
is not level it will not work properly.
