KSTDV Series Gas Fireplace
Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to
first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole lo-
cation. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or
noncombustible, cut opening to size. Figure 10 (For com-
bustible walls first frame in opening.)
Cut a 10Z\x”H x 10Z\x”W (267 x 267
mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as shown.

Use appropriate length of pipe sections - telescopic or
fixed - and install.
Guide the vent terminations 5” and 8” collard into their
respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes
overlap the collars by a minimum of 1Z\v" (32 mm). Secure
the termination to the wall with screws provided and caulk
around the wall plate to weatherproof. As an alternative to
screwing the termination directly to the wall, you may also
use expanding plugs or an approved exterior construction
adhesive.
