1.Determine the route your vertical venting will take. If ceiling joist, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system, consider an offset. Refer to Figure 20 to avoid cutting load bearing members.

For optimal flame appearance, a restrictor disk is necessary on straight vertical runs of 10' of more.

Drop a plumb line from the inside of the roof to the ceiling locating hole in the ceiling. Mark the center point where the vent will penetrate the roof. Drill a small locating hole at this point.

1.Cut a 10Z\x" (241 mm) square hole in the ceiling using the locating hole as a center point The opening should be framed to 10Z\x" x 10Z\x" (241 x 241 mm) inside dimen- sions as shown in Figure 22 using framing lumber the same size as the ceiling joist. If the area above the ceil- ing is an insulated ceiling or a room, nail firestop from the top side. This prevents loose insulation from falling into the required clearance space. Figure 21. Otherwise, install firestop below the framed hole. Figure 22

2.Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows nec- essary to reach from the burner system flue up through the firestop. Be sure pipe and elbow connections are fully twist-locked.
