3. Attach vent pipe assembly to the fire-
place. Set fireplace in front of it's per-
manent location to insure minimum
clearances. Mark the wall for a 10"
square hole (for noncombustible ma-
terial such as masonry block or con-
1
crete, a 7
/
" diameter hole is accept-
2
able). See Figure 12. The center of the
hole should line up with the center-
line of the horizontal rigid vent pipe.
Cut a 10"x10" (254mm x 254mm)
square hole through combustible ex-
1
terior wall (7
/
" [190mm] diameter
2
hole if noncombustible). Frame as nec-
essary (see Figure 12).

4. Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic
around the outside edge of the vent cap.
Position the vent cap in the center of
the 7

/
" or 10" hole on the exterior
2
wall with the arrow on the vent cap
pointing up. Insure proper clearance of
1" to combustibles is maintained. At-
tach the vent cap with four wood screws
supplied (see Figure 13). Note : Re-
place the wood screws with appropri-
ate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete,
or other types of siding.
WARNING: Do not recess vent
termination in to any wall. This
will cause a fire hazard.
For vinyl siding use vinyl siding stand-
offs between vent cap and exterior wall.
The vinyl siding standoff prevents ex-
cessive heat from melting the vinyl sid-
ing material. Bolt the vent cap to the
standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic
around outside edge of the standoff in-
stead of the vent cap assembly. Use
wood screws provided to attach the
standoff. See Figure 14.
5. Slide the wall thimble over the vent pipe
before connecting the horizontal run to
the vent cap (see Figure 15).
