B. Constructing the Appliance Chase
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose the
gas appliance and/or its vent system. Vertical vents that
run on the outside of a building may be, but are not required to be, installed inside a chase.
Construction of the chase may vary with the type of building. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. Local building codes MUST
be checked.
Chases should be constructed in the manner of all outside walls of the home to prevent cold air drafting problems. The chase should not break the outside building
envelope in any manner.
Walls, ceiling, base plate and cantilever fl oor of the chase
should be insulated. Vapor and air infi ltration barriers
should be installed in the chase as per regional codes for
the rest of the home. Additionally, in regions where cold
air infi ltration may be an issue, the inside surfaces may be
sheetrocked and taped for maximum air tightness.
To further prevent drafts, the wall shield and ceiling
fi restops should be caulked with high temperature caulk
to seal gaps. Gas line holes and other openings should
be caulked with high temperature caulk or stuffed with
unfaced insulation. If the appliance is being installed on a
cement surface, a layer of plywood may be placed underneath to prevent conducting cold up into the room.
C. Clearances
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Odor Risk.
• Install appliance on hard metal or wood surfaces
extending full width and depth of appliance.
• Do NOT install appliance directly on carpeting,
vinyl, tile or any combustible material other than
wood.

E. Flooring Considerations
If the fi replace is to be installed prior to fi nished fl oor con-
struction (i.e. tile, carpet, etc.) in front of the fi replace, pro-
visions must be made to accommodate for the difference
in height between the fl oor underneath the fi replace and
the fi nished fl oor to be installed in front of the fi replace.

B. Vent Termination
For Horizontal Terminations - The trapezoidal cap SLPTRAP1 and SLP-TRAP2 are the only caps that are approved to terminate a horizontal vent run.
For Horizontal Terminations - To attach and secure the
termination to the last section of horizontal vent:
• Rotate and interlock the ends as described at the
beginning of the Installing Vent Components section.
• The termination kit should pass through the wall fi restop
from the exterior of the building.
• Adjust the termination cap to its fi nal exterior position on
the building.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
The termination cap must be oriented so that
the arrow is pointing up.
If termination cap is installed incorrectly, the
clearances to combustibles will not be met.
Measure horizontal clearances from this surface.
(See Figure 4.4 for specifi c clearances)

B. Wall Penetration Framing
Combustible Wall Penetration
Whenever a combustible wall is penetrated, you must
frame a hole for the wall shield fi restop. The wall shield
fi restop maintains minimum clearances and prevents cold
air infi ltration.
• The opening must be framed on all four sides using the
same size framing materials as those used in the wall
construction.
• SLP pipe - A wall shield fi restop must be placed on each
side of an interior wall. A minimum 1-1/2 in. (38 mm)
overlap of attached heat shields must be maintained.
• See Section 8.L. for information for regarding the installation of a horizontal termination cap.
Non-Combustible Wall Penetration
If the hole being penetrated is surrounded by noncombustible materials such as concrete, a hole with diameter
one in. greater than the pipe is acceptable.
Whenever a non-combustible wall is penetrated, the wall
shield fi restop is only required on one side and no heat
shield is necessary.
