between the rafters or joists above, if possible.

2. Frame Support Opening: Drop a plumb bob

to the center of the appliance’s flue outlet and

mark this center point on the ceiling. Refer

to Table 1 for specific framing and clearance

dimensions. Mark appropriate cutting lines

around the center point. Cut a square hole in

the ceiling for the Support Box. Frame a level,

square opening centered over the hole which

you have cut. (Fig.7 and 8).
