• If your replace is to be installed directly on
carpeting, vinyl tile or any combustible ma-
terial other than wood, it must be installed
on a metal or wood panel extending the full
width and depth of the replace. See Figure
3, page 5.
• Your replace is designed to be used in
zero clearance installations. Wall or framing
material can be placed directly against any
exterior surface on the back, sides or top of
your replace, except where standoff spac-
ers are integrally attached. If standoff spac-
ers are attached to your replace, these
spacers can be placed directly against wall
or framing material. See framing details on
page 7.
• If you plan on installing a television or
entertainment center recessed above
your replace, it is recommended that you
maintain a minimum 18" above top of louver
opening.
• When locating termination cap, it is impor-
tant to observe the minimum clearances
shown in Figure 7, page 8.
• If recessing into a wall, you can avoid extra
framing by positioning your replace against
an already existing framing member.
• Do not recess termination cap into a wall
or siding.
• You may paint the termination cap with
450º F (232º C) heat-resistant paint to
coordinate with the exterior nish.
• There must not be any obstruction such
as bushes, garden sheds, fences, decks
or utility buildings within 24" from the front
of the termination cap.
• Do not locate termination cap where exces-
sive snow or ice build up may occur. Be sure
to clear vent termination area after snow falls
to prevent accidental blockage of venting
system. When using snow blowers, do not
direct snow towards vent termination area.
• For horizontal installations above 2,000
feet, it is recommended that a 12" extension
pipe be added before starter elbow and a
round horizontal termination be used (see
High Altitude Installation, page 17).
