Installing Siding Standoff Combustible Exterior

Venting Installation

instructions

6.Noncombustible Exterior Wall: Position the horizontal vent cap in the center of the 8 1/2" round hole and attach to the exterior wall with four screws (see page 10). Note: The four wood screws provided should be replaced with ap- propriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete or other types of sidings. Before attaching the vent cap to exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening mastic (pliable sealant) around the outside edges to make a seal between it and the outside wall.

Combustible Exterior Wall: For vinyl siding, stucco or wood exteriors, a siding standoff may be installed between the vent cap and exterior wall. The siding standoff prevents excessive heat from damaging the siding materials. Siding material must be cut to accommodate stand- off. Bolt the vent cap to the standoff. Apply non-hardening mastic around outside edge of standoff. Position the standoff/cap assembly in the center of the 10 3/4" square hole and attach to exterior wall with wood screws provided (see Figure 11). The siding standoff must sit flush against the exterior fascia material.

7.Combustible Exterior Wall Only: Slide the wall firestop over the vent pipe before connecting horizontal run to vent cap (see Figure 12).

8.Carefully move fireplace, with vent assembly attached, toward wall and insert vent pipe into horizontal termination. The pipe overlap should be a minimum of 1 1/4" (see Figure 13, page 11).

9.Combustible Exterior Wall Only: Slide wall firestop against interior wall surface and attach with screws provided (see Figure 12). See Figure 13, page 11, for horizontal termination details.
