stud bay.
3. 2x4 studs must be a minimum of 3.5
inches deep.
4. There must be nothing else in the stud bay
other than the Vent and furnace. This includes
any type of insulation.
5. The installation must contain an Oval Hold-
Down Plate (4OHD) at the base, Oval Plate
Spacers (4OPS) at the first ceiling level, and

within a standard 2x4 stud wall if all the
following conditions are met.
Fig. 41
Installation of Type B-W Gas Vent
1. Cut out the ceiling plate at the
floor level above the heater flush with
studs in space where Vent is to
be installed.
2. Nail one Plate Spacer (40PS), (A), across
cut-out area in ceiling plate. See Figure 41.
Plate Spacer (4OPS) is required at the first
ceiling level above a wall furnace to center
and space vent properly and to provide the
required opening between floors.
3. Snap Hold-Down Plate (4OHD), (B), onto
bottom end of pipe as shown in Figure 41.
Install Vent Section in position. Use two No.
8 binder head sheet metal screws to attach
Hold-Down Plate firmly to Furnace header
plate through pre-punched holes.
6. After passing through the last Firestop
Spacer, the Vent may be finished with either
round or oval fittings, flashings and Cap.
(Round pipe, fittings, flashings, and vent caps
cost less than corresponding oval parts.)
