INSTALLATION

4) Note: The unit does not

have to be completely

enclosed in a chase. The

clearance on top of the

unit is 0" to the standoffs

so combustible building

materials can be laid

directly on top of the

standoffs. You

must

maintain clearance from

the vent to combustible

materials for

both

rigid and flex, see the

"Clearances" section.
