11. Ensure that the Wall Support is level, and secure to the wall
through the pre-punched holes located on the sides of each of the
support brackets using (8) #14 x 1-1/2" hex head lag screws or #10 x
1-1/2" wood screws. You can drill 5/32" pilot holes for the lag screws.
Make sure they go into solid bracing as per the requirements in Table
3 Section B and Figure 21 (B) below the prepared Wall Thimble
opening. For concrete block or poured foundation use suitable
fasteners. NOTE: For 5" to 7" diameters a choice of two (2) uppermost
mounting holes are available.
12. Place the Insulated Tee on the support Plate ensuring that the male
coupler of the Tee is facing up and the flange on the top of the Support
Plate slides into the female coupler (see Figures 24 & 26).

15. Insert and install the Insulated Tee Cap into the bottom of the
Support Plate opening. To secure, slide the Tee Cap Bracket into both
slots located at the front and rear of the Support Plate. Make sure the
Tee Cap Bracket is beneath the Tee Cap and the other end is exiting
through the slot at the back of the Support Plate. Secure in place by
threading the securing screw into the nutsert located on the front of
the Support Plate (see Figures 24, 25 and 26).

13. From inside the building, for an extension of the Insulated Tee,
slide an appropriate Insulated Chimney Length through the Wall
Thimble to the horizontal branch of the Insulated Tee. Lock securely
by twisting clockwise. A Locking Band must then be installed to
secure the connection. Make sure the nut and bolt are facing down
to prevent any water from collecting in the Locking Band. The Tee
Branch must protrude a minimum of 3" into the room. Use a longer
Length if this is not met (not to exceed 24 inches).
10. Position the Support Plate to the desired distance from the wall
as per the limits shown in Table 4 and Figure 19. Tighten the 4 nuts
onto the threaded studs. Proceed to Step 14.
Support Brackets using (8) #14 x 1-1/2" hex head lag screws or #10
x 2" wood screws. Make sure they go into solid bracing as per the
requirements in Table 3 Section B and Figure 21(B), below the
prepared Wall Thimble opening. You can drill 5/32" pilot holes. For
concrete block or poured foundation use suitable fasteners. NOTE:
For 5" to 7" diameters a choice of two (2) uppermost mounting holes
are available.
