Figure 6.6 (Generic Fireplace Shown) To attach the first
section of vent pipe, make sure to use the vent gasket in
the manual bag to seal between the first vent component
and the outer fireplace wrap. Seal with four screws or
caulk with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure rating
may be used to hold the part in place.
Secure the first section of venting to the fireplace by screw-
ing through the two straps left over from cutting the seal
cap strap (Figure 6.6).
It is acceptable to use screws no longer than 1/2 in. (13
mm) to hold outer pipe sections together. If predrilling
holes, DO NOT penetrate inner pipe.
