B. Wall Exit into Metal Tee-Box

1.Mark the plumb line on the wall directly behind the center of the heater. (See Figure 6)

2.Place the vertical portion of the heater pipe and the elbow in position and project a point onto the plumb line level with the center of the elbow.

3.Measure up so there will be at least 1/4” rise per foot of horizontal connector pipe, maintaining clearances to the ceiling as noted in Figure 6. This will give you the center of the hole for the chimney penetration.

4.After locating the center of the penetration, install the tee-box and chimney or chimney connector as per the chimney manufacturer’s specifications and local building codes for installation through combustible walls or ceilings.

C. Wall Exit Into Masonry (Using Single Wall Pipe)

Before connecting the Model 20 to a masonry chimney, determine that the masonry fireplace wall pass-through connector thimble meets the NFPA-211code and local building codes and is a minimum of 18” from the ceiling. If the connector thimble does not meet these codes, the pass-through connector must be modified. NOTE: Follow chimney or chimney connector manufacturer’s instructions.

Connectors may pass through walls or parti- tions constructed of combustible material if the connector is:

(a)Either listed for wall pass-through or is routed through a device listed for wall pass-through and is installed in accordance with the conditions of the listing
