The four wood screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of
sidings.
Note: When installing a appliance where
the exterior of the house will be or is
sided with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding
standoff or furring strips must be
used to ensure that the termination
cap is not recessed into the siding.
If there is no siding installed -
install the vinyl siding standoff
or furring strips to the exterior of
the home where the termination
cap is to be installed. Install the
cap on the vinyl siding standoff or
furring strips. J-channel can then
be installed around the vinyl siding
standoff, then the siding can be
installed. If vinyl siding is already
installed - line up the vinyl siding
standoff or furring strips on the
vinyl siding where the termination
cap is to be installed, trace out
the vinyl siding standoff or furring
strips, then cut out and remove the
vinyl. Install the standoff to the
exterior of the home. Install the
termination cap on the vinyl siding
standoff or furring strips.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble over the vent pipe.
8) Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the
vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is
important that the vent pipe extends into
the vent cap sufficient distance so as to
result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4
inches. Secure the connection between the
vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the
two sheet metal strips extending from the
vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the
vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe
section. See Diagram 6.

9) Install wall thimble in the center of the 10"
square and attach with wood screws (Diagram
7).
UNIT INSTALLATION WITH
VERTICAL TERMINATION
1) Maintain the 1-1/4" clearances
(air spaces) to combustibles when
passing through ceilings, walls,
roofs, enclosures, attic rafter,
or other nearby combustible
surfaces. Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Check for the
maximum vertical rise of the
venting system and the maximum
horizontal offset limitations.
Diagram 1
2) Set the gas appliance in
its desired location. Drop a
plumb bob down from the
ceiling to the position of
the appliance flue exit, and
mark the location
where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill
a small hole at his point. Next, drop a plumb
bob from the roof to the hole previously
drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot
where the vent will penetrate
the roof. Determine
c e i l i n g
r o o f ra f t e r s o r
other framing will
obstruct the venting
system. You may
wish to relocate
the appliance or to
offset, as shown in
Diagram 2 to avoid
cutting load bearing
members.
NOTE:
For best results and optimum
performance with each approved venting
system, it is highly 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.
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the floor
or ceiling of every level. To install the Firestop
spacer in a flat ceiling or wall, cut a 10 inch
square hole. Frame the hole as shown in Diagram
3 and install the firestop.

4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked position
and sealed.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of sufficient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance to
combustibles of 1-1/2". Slip the flashing under
the shingles (shingles should overlap half the
flashing) as per Diagram 4.
Diagram 4: The upper half of the flashing is
installed under the roofing material and not
nailed down until the chimney is installed.
This allows for small adjustments.
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in
the attic to avoid obstructions,
it is important to support the
vent pipe every 3 feet, to avoid
excessive stress on the elbows, and
possible separation. Wall straps are
available for this purpose (Diagram
2).
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roof line
due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue
to add pipe sections through the flashing until
the height of the vent cap meets the minimum
walstrp.eps
height requirements specified in Diagram 5 or
local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches,
the vertical height must be increased. A poor
draft, or down drafting can result from high
wind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing the vent
height may solve the problem.
