B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its flue system. Vertical flues that
run on the outside of a building may be, but are not re-
quired to be, installed inside a chase.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of build-
ing. These instructions are not substitutes for the require-
ments of local building codes. Local building codes MUST
be checked.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all out-
side walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting prob-
lems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever floor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infiltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infiltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling fire-
stops should be caulked with high temperature caulk to
seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should be
caulked with high temp caulk or stuffed with unfaced in-

B. Wall Penetration Framing
Combustible Wall Penetration
Frame a hole in a combustible wall for an interior wall
shield firestop, (Figure 6.2) whenever a wall is penetrated.
Use same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction. The wall shield firestop maintains minimum
clearances and prevents cold air infiltration. Awall shield
firestop must be placed on each side of an interior wall.
A minimum 4cm overlap of attached heat shield must be
maintained. See Figure 6.3.
Non-Combustible Wall Penetration
If theholebeingpenetratedissurroundedbynoncombustible
materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter 2.54
cm greater than the pipe is acceptable. Whenever
a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall shield
firestop is only required on one side and no heat shield
is necessary.

Installing the Ceiling Firestop
• Frame an opening 22.9 cm by 22.9 cm whenever the
system penetrates a ceiling/floor (see Figure 6.4). A
steeply slanted roof may require an enlarged opening
size in order to maintain proper flue pipe clearances.
• Frame the area with the same sized lumber as used
in ceiling/floor joist.
• The ceiling firestop may be installed above or below
theceilingjoists wheninstalled with anattic insulation
shield. It must be under joists between floors that are
not insulated. See Figure 6.5.
• Secure with 3 fasteners on each side. See Figure 6.5.
• Donot packinsulation aroundthe flue.Insulation must
be kept away from the pipe.
Installing Attic Shield
• Remove one shield from box.
NOTICE: Cutpreviously installedbatt insulationto make
room for the attic insulation shield.
• Wrap shield around pipe if pipe is already installed in
area to be insulated.
• Match the three holes in each side and fasten with
three screws to form a tube.
• Bend three tabs on the bottom of the shield outward
to allow attachment to the ceiling firestop.
• Bendtheremainingbottomtabsinward90°to maintain
the air space between the pipe and the shield. Set
the shield on the ceiling firestop and attach to the
firestop.
• Bend all tabs inward 90° around the top of the shield.
These tabs must be used to prevent blown insulation
from getting between the shield and flue pipe, and to
maintain air space clearance.

A. Securing and Leveling the Appliance
The diagram shows how to properly position, level, and se-
cure the appliance (see Figure 7.7). Nailing tabs are pro-
vided to secure the appliance to the framing members.
• Place the appliance into position.
• Level the appliance from side to side and front to back.
• Shimtheappliance, asnecessary.Itis acceptableto use
wood shims.
• Bend out nailing tabs on each side.
• Keep nailing tabs flush with the framing.
• Secure the appliance to the framing by using nails or
screws through the nailing tabs.

8 Installing Flue Pipe
Install Support Brackets
ForHorizontal Runs- Theflue system mustbe supported
every 1.5 meters of horizontal run by a horizontal pipe
support.
To install support brackets for horizontal runs:
• Place the pipe supports around the flue pipe.
• Nail the pipe supports to the framing members.
For Vertical Runs - The flue system must be supported
every 2.4 meters above the appliance flue outlet by wall
brackets. To install support brackets for vertical runs:
• Attach wall brackets to the flue pipe and secure the wall
bracket to the framing members with nails or screws.
A. Assembly of Flue Sections
To attach the first flue component to the starting collars of
the appliance:
• Lock the flue components into place by sliding the pipe
section onto the collar.
• Align the seam of the pipe and seam of collar to allow
engagement. Rotate the vent component to lock into
place. Use this procedure for all vent components. See
Figure 8.1.
• Slide the gasket over the first flue section and place it
flushtotheappliance.Thiswillpreventcoldairinfiltration.
High temperature caulk may be used to hold the part in
place.
• Continue adding flue components, locking each
succeeding component into place.
• Ensurethat eachsucceeding ventcomponent issecurely
fitted and locked into the preceding component.
Commercial, Multi-family (Multi-level exceeding two sto-
ries), or High-Rise Applications
For Installation into a commercial, multi-family (multi-level
exceeding two stories) or high-rise applications: All outer
pipe joints must be sealed with high temperature silicone,
including the slip section that connects directly to the hori-
zontal termination cap.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer
pipe joint prior to joining sections.
• Only outer pipes need to be sealed. All unit collar, pipe,
slip section, elbow and cap outer flues shall be sealed
in this manner, unless otherwise stated.
Figure 8.1 Adding Venting Components
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! DO NOT break
silicone seals on slip sections. Use care when remov-
ing termination cap from slip pipe. If slip section seals
are broken during removal of the termination cap, flue
may leak.
Note: Align seams to engage pipe,
then rotate counterclockwise to lock
Slip Sections
• Slide the inner flue of the slip section into the inner flue
of the pipe section and the outer flue of the slip section
over the outer flue of the pipe section. See Figure 8.2.
• Slide together to the desired length.

• Continueadding pipeas necessaryfollowing instructions
in “Assembling Pipe Sections.”
NOTICE: Ifslip sectionistoolong,theinnerandouterflues
of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.
• Maintain a 4 cm overlap between the slip section and
the pipe section.
• Secure the pipe and slip section with two screws no
longer than 1.3 cm, using the pilot holes in the slip
section. See Figure 8.3.

Note: Where required, an exterior wall flashing is available.
When penetrating a brick wall, a brick extension kit is avail-
able for framing the brick.
Important Notice: Heat shields may not be field constructed.
B. Heat Shield Requirements for Horizontal
Termination
WARNING! Risk of Fire! To prevent overheating and fire,
heat shields must extend through the entire wall thick-
ness.
• DO NOT remove the heat shields attached to the
wall shield firestop and the horizontal termination cap
(shown in Figure 8.4).
• Heat shields must overlap 4 cm minimum.
There are two sections of the heat shield. One section
is factory-attached to the wall shield firestop. The other
section is factory-attached to the cap. See Figure 8.4.
If the wall thickness does not allow the required 4 cm heat
shield overlap when installed, an extended heat shield
must be used.
• Ifthewallthicknessislessthan11.1cm,theheatshields
on the cap and wall shield firestop must to be trimmed.
A minimum 4 cm overlap MUST be maintained.
• Useanextendedheatshieldifthefinishedwallthickness
is greater than 18 cm.
• The extended heat shield may need to be cut to length
maintaining sufficient length for a 4 cm overlap between
heat shields.
• Attach the extended heat shield to either of the existing
heatshieldsusingthescrewssuppliedwiththeextended
heat shield.
• Rest the small leg on the extended heat shield on top
of the pipe section to properly space it from the pipe
section.
