NOTE:
• The HEAT-OUT-GAS may be painted to a desired
color, as long as the paint selected has su󰀩cient
temperature and environmental ratings.
• Thoroughly sand the existing coating prior to
painting with sand paper or steel wool.
• The front of the cap cover may be eld-painted
and cured up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204°
C).
• Certain areas of the cap surface may reach up to
250 degrees Fahrenheit (121° C). Paints selected
should have su󰀩cient temperature ratings.

9Hearth & Home Technologies • HEAT-OUT-GAS Instructions • 2310-939 Rev. I • 9/20
NOTICE: It is imperative that the HEAT-OUT-BEK kit be
installed squarely or the HEAT-OUT-GAS may not t into
opening left once nishing has occurred. Also care should
be taken to ensure that HEAT-OUT-BEK is secured at to
wall.
11. The wall is now ready to be finished. Finishing
materials such as stone, marble or brick can then be
applied up to the anges of the HEAT-OUT-BEK that
protrude perpendicular to the wall. This will ensure that
the cap will t into the opening after nishing has been
completed.
NOTICEOutside anges of the HEAT-OUT-BEK must not
have any pressure on them from the nishing materials.
This could cause the opening left after nishing to be too
small.
12. After HEAT-OUT-BEK has been installed and the
nishing of the wall has taken place, apply a bead
of silicone (with a minimum of 300° F continuous
exposure rating) to the HEAT-OUT-BEK around the
entire metal ange, as shown in Figure 2.10 with the
dotted line.

5. Assemble the HEAT-OUT-BEK kit. Bend the two sections
of the HEAT-OUT-BEK kit as shown in Figure 2.8.
6. Use the formed tabs, shown in Figure 2.8, to assemble
the box as shown in Figure 2.9. The return bend on
section A should be located on the outside of section B.
7. Place assembled box over the framed opening in the
wall with outside anges oriented vertically and held
tight to the building exterior. See Figure 2.10.
8. Drive two of the supplied #8 X 3 inch screws through
opposite ends of the two outer anges. This will secure
the HEAT-OUT-BEK extension box to the building and
allow for squaring of the HEAT-OUT-BEK. See Figure
2.10.
9. Seal all corners, joints and bend lines with silicone
(with a minimum of 300° F continuous exposure rating)
caulk. Ensure all gaps and holes are lled so a sealed
envelope is formed.
10. If nishing material extends past the cap extension
box (BEK) more than one inch, an additional BEK is
required. Cap extension boxes may be stacked for
thicker wall applications:
• Attach rst box to the wall.
• Assemble second box.
• Bend the two outside anges of the second box
around to the inside of the box. See Figure 2.11.
• Secure the second box to the rst using four #8 x 1/2
sheet metal screws included in the HEAT-OUT-BEK
kit. See Figure 2.11.
Note: A HEAT-OUT-BEK kit will be needed for installations
with exterior nishing materials greater than 1 in. thick. Order
with the appliance and venting system. It will be used to
ensure that the nishing is done to the appropriate size for
the HEAT-OUT-GAS to be installed properly.
If installing with nishing material less than
1 inch thick go to step 15.
