8.2 Wall Opening

•
Where applicable, fit all the required pipes and elbows up to the wall. See the
manufacturer's instructions supplied with the venting sections.
•
Check the wall opening position.
•
Make Wall Opening.
If the wall is constructed of solid non-combustible materials and has no combustible
surface cladding (including wood) inside or outside then the wall plates or thimbles will
not be required.
If the wall has combustible material, mark the wall for a 10"x10" square. If the wall is
totally non-combustible (e.g. masonry block or concrete) mark for a 7" circular hole. In
both cases, the center of the hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal
vent.

8.3 Valor Terminal #551DVK - Preparing Wall Plates

The wall plates are not used for 7" hole in non-combustible walls.
1. Bend the wall shields and screw to the inside of the wall plates with 6 thread cutting
screws per plate. See figure 32.
2. Bend the inner wall plate tab as shown in figure 34 so that the seam on the terminal tube
will pass clearly through the plate with the wall shield at the top. Place the inner wall
plate over the terminal unit.
3. Slide the appliance/terminal into the wall. Make sure that the
drain hole is at the bottom – the seam will be through the
notch in the wall plates – See figure 34.
4. Slide the inner wall plate up to the wall. Mark the four holes
for the wall screws. Slide the plate away.
5. Drill and plug the wall.
6. Screw the plate to the wall with 4 screws provided.
7. Bend the outer wall plate tab as shown in figure 34.
8. Place the outer wall plate over the terminal unit. Slide the wall
plate up to the wall. Mark the four holes for the wall screws.
Slide the plate away.
9. Drill and plug the wall.
10. Screw the plate to the wall with 4 screws provided. See figure
34.
11. If the appliance was freed from the frame studding, refit with
the four screws inside the firebox securing the side angles.
Position the appliance so that it is suitable for the wall finish
(See figure 30).
8.4 Terminals – Installing to wall
