1.Plan your installation and clearances to combustibles. Decide on a location for the unit that will meet the clearances noted in the venting section, and any or all local code requirements.
2. Set the appliance in the desired location. Determine if any wall studs, electrical wiring, or plumbing pipes are in the way of the venting system as it passes through the exterior wall. The fireplace location should be adjusted if obstructions are found in the wall.
3.Project a line from the center point of the flue outlet upward and outward to the desired flue outlet location on the exterior wall. Using this center point, scribe a 10” (25.4 cm) hole or square on the
wall. Cut the hole from the interior through
