•Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.
For Vertical Runs - The flue system must be supported every 8 ft. (2.44 m) above the fireplace flue outlet by wall brackets. To install support brackets for vertical runs:
•Attach wall brackets to the flue pipe and secure the wall bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.
