VERTICAL SIDEWALL INSTALLATION
Step 1
Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to
fi rst position the fi replace and measure to obtain hole lo-
cation. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or
noncombustible, cut opening to size. Figure 15 (For com-
bustible walls fi rst frame in opening.)
Combustible Walls: Cut a 10
mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as shown.
Figure 15
Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening must be 8
mm) in diameter.

Using appropriate length of pipe section(s) attach to fi re-
place with three (3) screws. Follow with the installation of
the elbow.

Step 6
Use appropriate length of pipe sections — telescopic or
fi xed — and install.
Sealing vent pipe and fi restop gaps with high tem-
perature sealant will restrict cold air being drawn in
around fi replace.
Step 7
Guide the vent terminations 5" and 8" collard into their
respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes
overlap the collars by a minimum 1
the termination to the wall with screws provided and caulk
around the wall plate to weatherproof. As an alternative to
screwing the termination directly to the wall, you may also
