2. Installing Slim Line Trim Ring and Heat Shield
Measure from the floor to the center of the flue pipe. Cut
out a 9-1/2 in. (240 mm) hole in the wall. Hold the trim
ring/heat shield assembly in place and put a mark on the
shield with a black marker where it protrudes through the
exterior wall. Figure A on the previous page.
Use that mark as a guide to trim off excess heat shield
with a pair of sheet metal shears.
Figure 7.16
The heat shield is shipped flat and must be hand bent into
a half circle before attaching it to the trim ring. Bend the
heat shield as shown.
Figure 7.18
When installing the trim ring/heat shield assembly make
sure the trim ring is centered in the hole and that the
shield is above the pipe. There must be a minimum of 20
mm minimum clearance maintained to combustibles from
the top of the heat shield.
Ensure that framing on the inside of the wall is a minimum
inner framing diameter of 9 in. x 9 in. (229 mm x 229 mm).
The four trim ring mounting screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, con-
crete, or other types of sidings.

the center of the hole.

Attach the heat shield to the trim ring with the four screws
provided. Screws go through the heat shield and into the
brackets on the trim ring.
