Step 1.
Balanced flue pipe is designed with a locking connection. To connect the flue system to the gas stove flue outlet:
•Lock the flue components into place by sliding the pipe section onto the collar.
•Align the seam of the pipe and seam of collar to allow engagement. Rotate the flue component to lock into place. Use this procedure for all flue components. See Figure 7.12.
•Continue adding flue components, locking each succeeding component into place.
•Ensure that each succeeding flue component is securely fitted and locked into the preceding component.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Explosion Risk.
Combustion Fume Risk.
Use flue run supports per installation instructions.
Connect flue sections per installation instructions.
•Maintain all clearances to combustibles.
•Do NOT allow flue to sag below connection point to gas stove.
•Maintain specified slope (if required).
Improper support may allow flue to sag or separate.

Step 2.
For installations using a round support box/wall thimble (check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for
a9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm) square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the center line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the hole in the exterior wall where the flue will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178 mm) diameter hole is acceptable.
Step 3.
Position the horizontal termination cap in the center of the 9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm) square hole and run a bead of
