1)  Determine the exact position of the fi replace so that the 

vent pipe is centered (if possible) between two building 
framing members. Lay out the vent system path, minimiz-
ing the number of elbows and length of vent. Consult your 
local building codes prior to proceeding.

2)  Cut and frame a 14 1/2" opening in the fl oor, ceiling and 

roof where the vent system will pass. Size of the opening 
in the roof may need to be increased as the pitch of the 
roof increases. Avoid cutting rafters.

Where a vent pipe passes through a fl oor or ceiling, a ceiling 
fi restop must be used to retain insulation and maintain proper 
clearances.
From below, push the ceiling fi restop through the opening 
and secure in place. If the fi restop is used to penetrate a 
fl oor, the outer shield may be trimmed in length. If the fi restop 
penetrates into an attic, leave the shield full length to keep 
insulation away from the vent pipe. Additionally, after the vent 
pipe is in place, install a storm collar on top of the shield. This 
will prevent loose insulation from falling into the area between 
the vent pipe and the shield.

1)  Install the fi rst section of vent pipe into the collar on top of the 
fi replace. Secure in place with screws and seal with approved 
"High Temp." self-adhesive aluminum tape provided.

2)  Continue adding vent pipe lengths up and through the 
fi restop(s) and through the roof. The vent pipe must extend 
at least 24" above the roof.

Seal the vent pipe as per "Vent Pipe Sealant" section.

Slip the roof support bracket down over the vent pipe. Rotate 
the 90° brackets to accommodate roof pitch. Attach the brackets 
to the roof joists with nails or building screws. Tighten the band 
around the vent pipe and secure in place with screws.
