NOTE: Where required, an exterior wall fl ashing is available.
When penetrating a brick wall, a brick extension kit is available 
for framing the brick.

For all horizontally vented appliances, a heat shield MUST 
be placed one inch above the top of the vent between the 
wall shield fi restop and the base of the termination cap. 

There are two sections of the heat shield. One section 
attaches to the wall shield fi restop with two screws. The 
remaining section is attached to the cap in the same 
manner. 

If the wall thickness does not allow the required 1-1/2 
inch heat shield overlap, an extended heat shield must 
be used.

The extended heat shield will need to be cut to the thick-
ness of the wall and be attached to the wall shield fi restop. 
The small leg on the extended heat shield should rest on 
the top of the vent (pipe section) to properly space it from 
the pipe section (see Figure 8.12).

Vent termination must not be recessed in the wall. Siding 
may be brought to the edge of the cap base. 

Flash and seal as appropriate for siding material at outside 
edges of cap.

When installing a horizontal termination cap, follow the cap 
location guidelines as prescribed by current ANSI Z223.1 
and CAN/CGA-B149 installation codes.
