Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole location. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or noncombustible, cut opening to size. (Fig. 25)
For combustible walls first frame in opening.
Combustible Walls (Fig. 25): Cut a 9³⁄₈”H x 9³⁄₈” W (240 x 240 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame.
Noncombustible Walls (Fig. 25): Hole opening must be 7.5” (190 mm) in diameter.
