GENERAL INFORMATION
The Through-Wall Shield may be used to shield the Direct Vent Pipe from
blown insulation where required. It is critical to maintain the airspace
clearance free from any material between the shield and the pipe.
If you encounter any problems, need clarification of these instructions
or are not qualified to properly install this kit, contact you local distribu-
tor or dealer.
Read this instruction sheet in its entirety before beginning the installation.
ALL WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS IN THE INSTALLATION AND
OPERATION MANUALS PROVIDED WITH THE APPLIANCE APPLY TO
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. Cut the Through-Wall Shield to the desired length.
Step 2. Bring both ends of the Through-Wall Shield together to form a
cylinder (see Figure 1).
Step 3. Insert all the remaining locking tabs into the corresponding slots
and bend the tabs inwards to prevent the Through-Wall Shield
from disengaging. Refer to Section “A”-“A” of Figure 1.
Step 4. Bend the mounting tabs (with holes) outwards on the Through-
Wall Shield (see Figure 2).
Step 5. Bend the locating tabs inward on the Through-Wall Shield (see
Figure 3).
Step 6. Position the Through-Wall Shield on the firestop spacer and
center it by placing the locating tabs to the edge of the circular
opening on the firestop spacer (see Figure 3).
Step 7. While keeping the Through-Wall Shield centered on the firestop
spacer opening, drive a screw on each of the four (4) mounting
tabs of the Through-Wall Shield into the firestop spacer (refer
to Figure 3).
NOTE: To ensure that the screws will not interfere with the termination
assembly, place the Through-Wall Shield so the seam is located at 12 or
6 o’clock (see Figure 4).
