Use the vent spring spacers (Fig. 1) between the inner and outer vents at 3 ft (900 mm) intervals. Maintain at least a ¼ “ (6 mm) rise for every 12” (305 mm) horizontal vent. Use the included pipe joint compound and 3 self tapping screws at every vent connection.

6.From the outside, pass the vents and the thimble through the hole so that the 2” (50 mm) standoff is on the top.
7.Screw the vent cap to the wall using the 2” (50 mm) screws.
8.From the inside, place the firestop over the pipes, so that the standoffs fit into the hole and screw it in place using the 1 ¼” (32 mm) screws. Seal with silicone sealer around pipe.
9.Similarly place the decorative trim collar over the firestop and screw it in place with 1 ¼“ (32 mm) screws.
