ensure the brackets on the rear surface fi t to the
inside surface of the horizontal framing.
The length of the vent shield may be cut shorter
for combustible walls that are less than 8 1/2” thick
but the vent shield must extend the full depth of the
combustible wall.
A. Assemble the shield to the spacer as shown, using the 3
