WALL BREACHING (Fig.2)

There are two types of wall breaching:

- Masonry

- Masonry and Combustible Wall

(Note: Wall penetration assemblies shall not be

located directly behind a heating appliance.)

Masonry Breaching

STEP ONE: If no hole exists in the masonry,

mark the center point for the location of

penetration. Before cutting or drilling,

check the clearance between the top of the

connecting pipe to the ceiling. The minimum

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).
