To Install the Heat Shield:

1.Determine if the heat shield is required. Do so by mea- suring the vertical distance between the top horizontal surface of the elbow to any combustible surface above. If the distance is more than 4 inches, the heat shield is NOT required. If it is 4 inches or less, the heat shield IS REQUIRED. Install per the following steps. See Figure 19.

2.Fasten the shield in place using the pilot holes provided in the part. The shield should be oriented such that the 13 1/8 inch dimension (longest dimension) is running in the same direction the elbow is pointing. The shield should be centered directly above the elbow, and positioned so that it creates a 1/2 inch airspace between the shield and the combustible surface. See Figure 20.
