E. Install Decorative Ceiling Components

A decorative ceiling thimble can be installed on a fl at ceil-

ing through which the vent passes. The decorative ceiling

thimble is used to cover the fi restop.
• Seal the gap between the vent pipe and fi restop using

silicone with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure

rating to prevent cold air infi ltration.

• Install the decorative ceiling thimble by sliding it up to

the ceiling and attaching it using the provided screws.

A decorative cathedral ceiling support box can be installed

on a cathedral ceiling through which the vent passes.
• Use a plumb-bob to mark the center line of the venting

system on the ceiling and drill a small hole through the

ceiling and roof at this point. Locate the hole and mark

the outline of the cathedral ceiling support box on the

outside roof.

• Remove shingles or other roof covering as necessary to

cut the rectangular hole for the support box. Cut the hole

1/8 in. (3 mm) larger than the support box outline.

• Lower the support box through the hole in the roof until its

bottom is at least 2 in. (51 mm) below the ceiling (Figure

• Level the support box both vertically and horizontally and

temporarily tack it in place through the inside walls into

the roof sheathing.

• Use tin snips to cut the support box from the top corners

down to the roof line and fold the resulting fl aps to the

roof. See Figure 10.10.

• Nail the fl aps to the roof AFTER running a bead of non

hardening sealant between the fl aps and the roof.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Clean out ALL materials from

inside the support box and complete the vertical vent run

and termination.
