Sidewall Installation

STEP 1
Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary
to first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole
location. Depending on whether the wall is combustible
or noncombustible, cut opening to size. (Fig. 19)
For combustible walls first frame in opening.
Combustible Walls: Cut a 16¹⁄₄"H x 16¹⁄₄" W (413 x
413 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as
shown.
Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening must be 11¹⁄₄"
(286 mm) in diameter.

Tape the inner and outer flue collars of the fireplace
using UL approved metal adhesive tape to ensure the
joints are sealed. Attach an appropriate length of vent
pipe to the fireplace. Follow with the installation of the
inner and outer elbow, tape elbow joints and secure
joints as described on Page 11.
STEP 6
Measure the horizontal length requirement including
a 2" (51 mm) overlap, ie from the elbow to the outside
wall face plus 2" (51 mm) (or the distance required if
Max. Length

Use appropriate length of pipe sections and install the
horizontal vent sections. You may need to cut 1' wall
section to size to be flush with the outside wall. The
