Assemble Slip Sections; Secure The Vent Sections - Heat & Glo ST-550TM-IPI Owner's Manual

B. Assemble Slip Sections
• Slide the inner flue of the slip section into the inner flue of
the pipe section and the outer flue of the slip section over
the outer flue of the pipe section. See Figure 10.3.
• Slide together to the desired length.
Figure 10.3 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 10.4.
Figure 10.4 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 flues
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.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer
pipe joint prior to joining sections.
• Only outer pipes are sealed, sealing the inner flue is not
required.
• All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer
flues shall be sealed.

C. Secure the Vent Sections
• Vertical runs originating off the top of the appliance, with
no offsets, must be supported every 8 ft. (2.44 m) after
the maximum allowed 25 ft. (7.62 m) of unsupported rise.
• Vertical runs originating off the rear of the appliance, or
after any elbow, must be supported every 8 ft. (2.44 m).
• Horizontal runs must be supported every 5 feet (1.52
m).
• Vent supports or plumbers strap (spaced 120º apart)
may be used to support vent sections. See Figures
10.5 and 10.6.
• Wall shield firestops may be used to provide horizontal
support to vent sections.
• SLP ceiling firestops have tabs that may be used to
provide vertical support.
WARNING! Risk of Fire, Explosion or Asphyxiation!
Improper support may allow vent to sag and separate.
Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per in-
stallation instructions. DO NOT allow vent to sag below
connection point to appliance.
