Installing a Wall Mounted RHS8 Heat shield
The RHS8 Heat shield CANNOT be used WITHIN 36" horizontal or
60" vertically of the fireplace, (see figure 14a). For applications
within these dimensions the RHS101 Heat Shield MUST be used.
To install the RHS8, frame an opening in combustible construc-
tion, Figure 14 below. Slide the Heat shield in place over the vent
pipe which attaches to the fireplace. After the fireplace and vent
pipe has been installed, clearances should match the dimen-
sions in Figure 14.
