Assemble Slip Sections - Heat & Glo SL-550TR-E Installation Manual

Assemble Vent Sections
(SLP Only)
To attach the fi rst vent component to the starting collars
of the appliance:
• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the pipe
section onto the collar.
• Align the seam of the pipe and seam of collar to allow
engagement. Rotate the vent component to lock into
place. Use this procedure for all vent components. See
Figure 7.5.
• Slide the gasket over the fi rst vent section and place it
fl ush to the appliance. This will prevent cold air infi ltration.
Caulk with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure
rating may be used to hold the part in place.
• Continue adding vent components, locking each
succeeding component into place.
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is securely
fi tted and locked into the preceding component.
Required Commercial, Multi-family (Multi-level exceeding
two stories), or High-Rise Applications
For Installation into a commercial, multi-family (multi-level
exceeding two stories) or high-rise applications: All outer
pipe joints must be sealed with high temperature silicone
(300º F minimum continuous exposure rating), including
the slip section that connects directly to the horizontal ter-
mination cap.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant (300º F minimum con-
tinuous exposure rating) inside the female outer pipe
joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 7.1.
• Only outer pipes need to be sealed. All unit collar, pipe,
slip section, elbow and cap outer fl ues shall be sealed
in this manner, unless otherwise stated.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! DO NOT break
silicone seals on slip sections. Use care when remov-
ing termination cap from slip pipe. If slip section seals
are broken during removal of the termination cap, vent
could leak.
Note: Align seams to engage pipe,
then rotate counterclockwise to lock

B. Assemble Slip Sections
• Slide the inner fl ue of the slip section into the inner fl ue
of the pipe section and the outer fl ue of the slip section
over the outer fl ue of the pipe section. See Figure 7.6.
• Slide together to the desired length.
Figure 7.6 Slip Section Pilot Holes
• Maintain a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap between the slip
section and the pipe section.
• Secure the pipe and slip section with two screws no
longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm), using the pilot holes in the
slip section. See Figure 7.7.
Figure 7.7 Screws into Slip Section
• Continue adding pipe as necessary following instructions
in "Assembling Pipe Sections."
NOTICE: If slip section is too long, the inner and outer fl ues
of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.
NOTICE: When installing a vent system with an HRC
termination cap, all pipe system joints shall be sealed
using a high temperature silicone sealant (300º F minimum
continuous exposure rating).
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant (300º F minimum
continuous exposure rating) inside the female outer pipe
joint prior to joining sections.
• Only outer pipes are sealed, sealing the inner fl ue is not
required.
• All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer
fl ues shall be sealed.
