Step 1
Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to
first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole lo-
cation. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or
noncombustible, cut opening to size. Figure 28 (For com-
bustible walls first frame in opening.)
Note: When using flex vent, the opening will have to be
measured according to the 1/" (13 mm) rise in 1" (305
mm) vent run.
combustible Walls: Cut a 9B\,"H x 9B\,"W (44 x 44 mm)
hole through the exterior wall and frame as shown. Figure
28
Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening must be 7Z\x" (191
mm) in diameter.
