2. Installing Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield
Measure from the oor to the center of the ue pipe. Cut
out a 9-1/2 in. (240 mm) hole in the wall. Hold the trim
ring/heat shield assembly in place and put a mark on the
shield with a black marker where it protrudes through the
exterior wall. Figure A on the previous page.
Use that mark as a guide to trim off excess heat shield
with a pair of sheet metal shears.

The heat shield is shipped at and must be hand bent into
a half circle before attaching it to the trim ring. Bend the
heat shield as shown.
Figure 7.18
When installing the trim ring/heat shield assembly make
sure the trim ring is centered in the hole and that the
shield is above the pipe. There must be a minimum of 20
mm minimum clearance maintained to combustibles from
the top of the heat shield.
Ensure that framing on the inside of the wall is a minimum
inner framing diameter of 9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm).
The four trim ring mounting screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, con-
crete, or other types of sidings.
