- Masonry
- Masonry and Combustible Wall
(Note: Wall penetration assemblies shall not be
located directly behind a heating appliance.)

Using the center mark punched into the
masonry, inscribe a circle of 3- 1/4 inch radius
(6-1/2 inch diameter), or 4-1/4 inch radius
(8-1/2 inch diameter), depending upon whether
6 inch or 8 inch Dura-Liner Pipe is used.
Remove bricks as necessary to approximate a
circle (Fig.14). Smooth out the circumference
of the hole with high-temperature grout or
mortar.
Follow "OPeN HeARTH INSTALLATION"
instructions for installation of DuraLiner pipe
in masonry. The end of the DuraLiner pipe
should have a "Tee" for the wall breaching, and
will be lowered to the masonry breach.
STEP TWO: As the DuraLiner rigid pipe is
being lowered into final position, line up the
branch of the Tee with hole in the masonry
chimney wall. (Fig. 13). Attach Tee branch to
Tee body (Fig.7).
