note: Pay special attention to these installation instructions
for required clearances (air space) to combustibles when

passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic
rafters, etc. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Also
note maximum vertical rise of the venting system and any
maximum horizontal offset limitations. Offsets must fall
within the parameters shown in Figures 22 and 23.
2. Set fireplace in desired location. Drop a line plumb down
from the ceiling to the position of the flue exit. Mark the
center point where the vent will penetrate the ceiling.
Drill a small locating hole a this point.
Drop a plumb line from the inside of the roof to the ceiling

sions as shown in Figure 25 using framing lumber the
same size as the ceiling joist. If the area above the ceil-
ing is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail firestop from
the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling
into the required clearance space. Figure 24. Otherwise,
install firestop below the framed hole. Figure 25
