cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe
extend into the vent cap a sufcient distance
with a minimum of 1” (3.2 cm) overlap.
Secure the connection between the vent cap
pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two
sheet metal straps extending from the vent
cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent
pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided
to connect the straps to the vent pipe. Bend
any remaining portion of the sheet metal straps
back towards the vent cap, so the decorative
wall thimble will conceal it (see left image in
Figure 14).
STEP 7. Slide the decorative wall thimble up to the wall
surface and attach with the screws provided.
Apply decorative brass or chrome trim if desired
(see right image in Figure 14).
NOTES:
(1) The four wood screws provided should be replaced
with the appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick,
concrete, or other types of siding.
(2) For buildings with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding
standoff, should be installed between the vent cap
and the exterior wall (see Figure 15). Attach the
vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal termination.
The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat
from possibly melting the vinyl siding material. Note
that the horizontal vent termination bolts onto the
at portion of the vinyl siding standoff (shaded area
in Figure 15), so that an air space will exist between
the wall and the vent termination.

STEP 3. With the pipe attached to the stove in the correct location, mark the wall for a 10” (25.4 cm) x
10” (25.4 cm) square hole (refer to Figure 13). The center of the square hole should match the
center line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10” (25.4 cm) x 10” (25.4 cm) hole in the
exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. Refer to Figure 8. If the wall being penetrated
is constructed of non-combustible material i.e. masonry or concrete, a 7 inches (17.8 cm) hole
is acceptable.
STEP 4. Position the horizontal vent termination in the center of the 10” (25.4 cm) x 10” (25.4 cm)
hole, and attach to the exterior wall with the four screws provided. Before attaching the vent
termination to the exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening mastic around the edges, so as to
make a seal between the termination and the wall. The arrow on the vent termination should be
pointing up, insure that the proper clearances to combustible materials are maintained.
STEP 5. Before connecting the horizontal run of the vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the black
decorative wall thimble cover over the vent pipe.
STEP 6. Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall, carefully inserting the vent pipe into the
