Initial Installation
QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
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
���� | the exterior wall surfaces. |
������� | 4. Frame the hole as shown in Figure 24. |
|
5.Trim the wall thimble to match the wall thickness as necessary. Install the wall
thimble and secure it to the inner wall | ||
frame using four (4) 11⁄2” wood screws. If | ||
a wall is greater than 8” (203mm) in depth, | ||
the clearance above the flex must be 43⁄8” | ||
(111mm) | Figure 21: Wire Spacer in Place. | |

intake liner over the flex vent. | Wire Spacers | |
Install four (4) wire spacers | ||
| ||
around the flex pipe. Ensure the |
| |
wire spacers are positioned at |
| |
either end of the pipes, and at | Combusion Air 6 5/8" Flex Pipe | |
each end of any elbows in the | ||
| ||
liners (refer to Figure 20 and 21). |
