recommended to apply "Mill-Pac"
sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe
connection. Failure to do so may result
in drafting or performance issues not
covered under warranty.
Note:
The pipe seam should be facing down.
Note:
To make the installation more aes-
thetically pleasing, we recommend
framing out a square that the cap can
be mounted on.
Note:
If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or
furring strips must be used to ensure
that the termination is not recessed
into the siding. For vinyl siding stand-
off installation refer to the Dura-Vent

to make a tight seal between the cap and the
standoff.
