VENT INSTALLATION
4. Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the outside
edge of vent cap. Position the vent cap in the center of hole
on the exterior wall with the word “UP” on the vent cap
facing up. Insure proper clearance of 1" to combustibles
is maintained. Attach the vent cap with four wood screws
supplied. See Figure 18.
WARNING
Do not recess vent termination
into any wall. This will cause a
fire hazard.
NOTE: Replace the wood screws with appropriate
fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types
of siding.
For vinyl siding, stucco, or wood exterior use vinyl siding
standoffs between vent cap and exterior wall for Simpson or
Selkirk Terminations only. The vinyl siding standoff prevents
excessive heat from melting the vinyl siding material. N
OTE:
Monessen Termination does not require standoff. Bolt the
vent cap to the standoff or wall. Apply non-hardening mastic
around outside edge of the standoff instead of the vent cap
assembly. Use wood screws provided to attach the standoff.
See Figure 19.
5. Slide the wall thimble over the vent pipe before connecting
the horizontal run to the vent cap. See Figure 20.
6. Carefully move the fireplace with vent assembly attached
toward the wall and insert the vent pipe into the horizontal
