(2) Any occupied areas above the first floor, including

closets and storage spaces, which the vertical vent

passes through, must be enclosed. The enclosure

may be framed and sheet rocked with standard

building materials. However consult the appliance

manufactures installation instructions for the minimum allowable clearance between the outside of

the vent pipe, and the combustible surfaces of the enclosure. Do not fill any required air spaces with

insulation.

STEP 2. Using the plumb bob, mark the centerline of the venting system on the ceiling and drill a small

hole through the ceiling and roof at this point. From the roof, locate the drill hole and mark the

outline of the “Cathedral Ceiling Support Box”.

STEP 3. Remove shingles or other roof coverings as necessary to cut the rectangular hole for the

“Support Box”. Cut the hole 1⁄8” larger than the “Support Box” outline.

STEP 4. Lower the “Support Box” through the hole in the roof until the bottom of the “Support Box”

protrudes at least 2 inches (5 cm) below the ceiling. Align the “Support Box” both vertically and

horizontally with a level as shown in Figure 28. Temporarily tack the “Support Box” in the place

through the inside walls and into the roof sheathing.

STEP 5. Using tin snips, cut the “Support Box” from the top corners down to the roof line, and fold the

resulting flaps over the roof sheathing (Figure 29). Before nailing it in to the roof, run a bead of

non-hardening mastic around the top edges of the “Support Box”, to make a seal between the

box and the roof. Clean out any combustible material from the inside of the “Support Box”.
