a black marker where it protrudes through the exterior wall.

the shield is above the pipe. There must be a minimum of
3/4 in. (19mm) minimum clearance maintained to combus-
tibles from the top of the heat shield.

mum inner framing diameter of 10 in. x 10. in. (254mm x

The four trim ring mounting screws provided should be
