Section 3-3-3: Heat Shields
Installing a Wall Mounted RHS8 Heat shield
The RHS8 Heat shield CANNOT be used WITHIN 36" horizontal or
60" vertically of the fireplace, (see figure 16a). For applications
within these dimensions the RHS101 Heat Shield MUST be used.
To install the RHS8, frame an opening in combustible construction,
Figure 16 below. Slide the Heat shield in place over the vent pipe
which attaches to the fireplace. After the fireplace and vent pipe has
been installed, clearances should match the dimensions in Figure 16.

Installing a Wall Mounted RHS101 Heat shield.
The RHS101 Heat shield MUST be used where the RHS8 Termination
(Figure 16 and 16a) CANNOT be used. Use the RHS101 where any
of the dimensions are within the parameters shown, Figure 16a.
To install the RHS101, Slide the Inner Section over the vent pipe that
will connect to the fireplace. Then fasten the vent pipe to the back
of the
fireplace with a minimum of three sheet metal screws. From the
outside
slide the RHS101 outer section on see Figure 17. To complete the
installation fasten the Heat Shield Outer Section & Termination frame
to the structure Figure 17a.
