the offset down to opening in masonry.

B. A Tee Section is installed at the bottom end

of the vertical pipe (Figure 26).

C. A Reduction Collar or a Trim Collar is

required to go around the pipe section that

passes through the masonry to give it a

finished look.

3. It will be necessary to break out the

masonry around the location of the pipe center

line mark to a diameter of at least 4 inches for

3 inch pipe, and at least 5 inches in diameter

for 4 inch pipe.

4. Install the Tee on the bottom of the vertical

pipe system and lower it down the chimney

until the center of the branch of the Tee is level

with the center of the hole in the masonry.

Connect horizontal pipe section to the Tee

branch.

5. Holding the pipe at the proper elevation,

install the Storm Collar and Cap, as described

in Step 11 for the fireplace installation.

6. Connect the horizontal Pipe Section through

the masonry to the Tee by pushing it through

the hole in the masonry, and lining it up with

the branch of the Tee. Then insert Pipe Section

into the Tee, while twisting to lock it.

7. Once the horizontal Pipe Section is in place,

the space between the pipe and the masonry

may be filled with high temperature grout, if

desired (Figure 27).

8. Install the Reduction Collar or Trim Collar

over rough opening, then 90° Elbow, and

the required vertical Pipe Sections down to

the appliance. An Adjustable Pipe length will

probably be needed, as well as an Appliance

Adapter or Increaser Adapter.

9. Conduct a final inspection of the entire job,

and review the manufacturer’s operating and

installation instructions once more, before

firing the appliance.

INSTALLATION IN A

CATHEDRAL CEILING

1. Mark a line on the side of the Cathedral

Ceiling Support Box to correspond to the line

of the roof pitch, as shown in (Figure 28).

Allow for the Support Box to protrude below

the low side of the finished ceiling a minimum

of 2 inches.

2. Position the appliance at its proper

location on the floor. Pay close attention to

the manufacturer’s installation instructions

regarding the clearance to combustibles, etc.

Position appliance so Support Box will not

interfere with roof rafters or other structural

framing.

3. Run a plumb line from the center of the flue

exit on the stove to the ceiling. Mark the point

on the ceiling where the plumb line intersects.

This represents the center of the support box.

Drill a small hole through the ceiling at this

point, so it can be located from the top of the

roof.

4. From the roof, locate and mark the outline of

the Support Box.

5. Remove shingles or other roof covering as

necessary to cut the rectangular hole for the

Support Box. Cut the hole 1/8-inch larger than

the dimensions of the Support Box (Figure

29). The rectangular hole should be centered

on the small hole which you drilled through the

ceiling to mark the location. Again, verify that

you are not cutting through rafters or framing
