Installing Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield
Measure from the floor 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 - When installing the trim ring/heat shield
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 maintained
to combustibles from the top of the heat shield.
Ensure that framing on the inside of the wall is a minimum
inner framing diameter of 10 in. x 10. in. (254 mm x 254
mm).
The four trim ring mounting screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick,
concrete, or other types of sidings.
