Positioning the Fireplace
Determine the exact position of the appliance so the direct vent termination 
will be centered (if possible) between two (2) studs. This will avoid any 
extra framing. All vent kit pipes should be assembled on the unit after the 
unit is moved into the final position.
Cutting the Hole (Figures 23)
After the fireplace has been positioned in its permanent location, the hole 
through the exterior wall of the house can be cut. This hole must be 10" 
(254mm) high x 10" (254mm) wide with its center line determined by the 
amount of vertical rise and horizontal run of the termination. (See Figure 
23) When locating the hole it must be noted that the bottom of the cap 
must be 12" (305mm) above the ground level, and top of the cap must 
be no less than 18"  (457mm)  below  a  combustible  projection,  and  no 
closer than 9" (229mm) to any wall running parallel to vent termination.
