1. Assembling Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield

Figure 7.15

Lay the trim ring on flat surface and bend up the six welded brackets into a 90 degree position. The brackets along the outer edge of the ring are for locating the ring in the center of the hole.

Figure 7.16

The heat shield is shipped flat and must be hand bent into a half circle before attaching it to the trim ring. Bend the heat shield as shown.

Figure 7.17

Attach the heat shield to the trim ring with the four screws provided. Screws go through the heat shield and into the brackets on the trim ring.

2. Installing Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield

Measure from the floor to the center of the flue pipe. Cut out a 9-1/2 in. (240 mm) hole in the wall. Hold the trim ring/heat shield assembly in place and put a mark on the shield with a black marker where it protrudes through the exterior wall. Figure A on the previous page.

Use that mark as a guide to trim off excess heat shield with a pair of sheet metal shears.

Figure 7.18

When installing the trim ring/heat shield assembly make sure the trim ring is centered in the hole and that the shield is above the pipe. There must be a minimum of 20

mmminimum clearance maintained to combustibles from the top of the heat shield.

Ensure that framing on the inside of the wall is a minimum inner framing diameter of 9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm).

The four trim ring mounting screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, con- crete, or other types of sidings.
