of the plenum and pipes. Provide support to the underside of
the plenum and ensure the plenum is level and its outlet is not
distorted.
Use metal strapping (all-around, not supplied) as required to
further secure the plenum to framing.
Attach the piping from all (4) plenum vent collars to all (4)
fireplace vent collars. If you are mounting the plenum 10' or
less above the fireplace, use (1) #KZK-410 kit or UL-181 Class 0

to 20' above the fireplace then you will need (2) #KZK-410 kits
