VENT PIPE ASSEMBLY
STEP 1
Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole location. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or non- combustible, cut opening to size. Fig. 13 or 15.
(For combustible walls first frame in opening. Fig. 14).

7.5" (190 mm) in diameter.
STEP 2
Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve parts to proper length (MAXIMUM 12"). Assemble sleeve and attach to firestop with #8 sheetmetal screws (sup- plied). Install firestop assembly (Fig. 16)..
Zero clearance sleeve is only required for combustible walls.
