F. Install Decorative Ceiling Components
(SLP only)
A decorative ceiling thimble can be installed on a
fl
at ceil-
ing through which the vent passes. The decorative ceiling
thimble is used to cover the
fi
restop.
• Seal the gap between the vent pipe and
fi
restop using
high temperature silicone (300ºF minimum continuous
exposure rating) to prevent cold air in
fi
ltration.
• Install the decorative ceiling thimble by sliding it up to
the ceiling and attaching it using the provided screws.
A decorative cathedral ceiling support box can be installed
on a cathedral ceiling through which the vent passes.
• Use a plumb-bob to mark the center line of the venting
system on the ceiling and drill a small hole through the
ceiling and roof at this point. Locate the hole and mark
the outline of the cathedral ceiling support box on the
outside roof.
• Remove shingles or other roof covering as necessary
to cut the rectangular hole for the support box. Cut the
hole 1/8 in. (3 mm) larger than the support box outline.
• Lower the support box through the hole in the roof until its
bottom is at least 2 in. (51 mm) below the ceiling (Figure
10.12).
• Level the support box both vertically and horizontally and
temporarily tack it in place through the inside walls into
the roof sheathing.
• Use tin snips to cut the support box from the top corners
down to the roof line and fold the resulting
fl
aps to the
roof. See Figure 10.13.
• Nail the
fl
aps to the roof AFTER running a bead of non
hardening sealant between the
fl
aps and the roof.
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
Clean out ALL materials from
inside the support box and complete the vertical vent run
and termination.
