6.Slide the starter pipe into the fireplace, matching the holes in the plate to the holes in the fireplace.

7.Place the Adapter on the Mounting Plate lining up holes. Using the 4 sheet metal screws included in the kit, secure the Adapter and Mounting Plate into fireplace. After secur- ing to the fireplace, tape down the Adapter edges to the top of the fireplace with aluminum tape to prevent leakage.

8.Determine the location for the air register and fan housing assembly. Cut a 7-5/8 in. x 13-5/8 in. (143 x 346mm) hole between framing members (wall studs or floor joists). The brackets can be rotated 180° and mounted to the back side of the 2 x 4 if necessary. See Figure 35.2 on page 35.
