Pre-Installation

Preparation

Continued

When locating termination cap, it is important to observe the minimum clearances shown in Figure 7, page 8.

If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra framing by positioning your fireplace against an already existing framing member.

Do not recess termination cap into a wall or siding.

You may paint the termination cap with 450ºF (232ºC) heat-resistant paint to coordinate with the exterior finish.

There must not be any obstruction such as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks or util- ity buildings within 24" from the front of the termination cap.

Do not locate termination cap where excessive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure to clear vent termination area after snow falls to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, do not direct snow towards vent termination area.
