Step 1.
Determine the desired location of the gas stove. Check
to ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the way
when the flue system is being planned. If this is the case,
you may want to adjust the location of the gas stove.
Step 2.
Balanced flue pipe is designed with a locking connection.
To connect the flue system to the gas stove flue outlet, a
twist-lock adapter is built into the gas stove at the factory.
Wall thickness may vary. Remember to include wall
thickness in minimum clearances when figuring flueing
lengths for your installation needs.
Note: Female ends of balanced flue pipe/elbows are
designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent
pipes by orienting the pipe indentations so they match
and slide into the entry slots on the male ends, see Figure
4.13. Push the pipe sections completely together, then
twist-lock one section clockwise approximately one-quar-
ter turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female
locking lugs may not be visible from the outside. They may
be located by examining the inside of the female ends.

Step 3.
For installations using a slim line heat shield (check pipe
manufacturer's instructions), mark the outside wall for a
254 mm x 254 mm square hole. The center of the square
hole should line up with the center line of the horizontal
pipe, as shown in Figure 4.12. Cut and frame the hole in
the exterior wall where the flue will be terminated. If the
wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible
material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 178 mm diam-
eter hole is acceptable.
Step 4.
Install slim line heat shield as shown in Section 4F.
Step 5.
Position the horizontal termination cap in the center of
the 254 mm x 254 mm square hole and run a bead of
non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, to make
a seal between it and the wall. Attach termination cap to
the exterior wall with the four wood screws provided. The
arrow on the flue cap should be pointing up.
