INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Step 1. Insert the Slip Connector section
of pipe into the previously installed Ceiling
Support Box. Position it so the seams are
facing the wall, and the smooth side is facing
the room. Push it in rmly, until the locking
notches engage the top of the rim of the hole
in the support box. It is extremely important
that the Support Box be positioned so that
the single wall pipe is at least 18” from the
combustible wall, and also that the support
box protrudes at least 2” below the ceiling.
Reposition the Support Box if necessary, to
meet these two requirements.
Step 2. If you are installing the optional Trim
Collar, slide the Trim Collar upwards over the
Slip Connector, until it is next to the bead.
Using the two, pre-punched holes in the Trim
Collar as a guide, drill two 1/8” diameter holes
in the Support Box. Screw the Trim Collar to
the Support Box, using the two sheet metal
screws provided with the kit.
