5.4 Connecting and Terminating the Vent Pipe

Refer to the following example to install the common vent system. The installation area should be measured to ensure that sufficient space is
available to install the water heater units and the common vent system. Ensure that the common vent system is installed near the water heater
units while satisfying all clearance requirements that are specified in this manual as well as the Installation Manuals supplied with the water
heater units.
5.4.1 Connecting the Main Pipe Runs to T Joint
After connecting the tee joint to the branch pipe, connect the main trunk pipe to each side of the tee. Each trunk pipe is connected to the
other tee joint. Refer to ""Connecting Pipes with Cement" on page 51 for more information.
DANGER
If the connections leak, harmful flue gas may cause personal injury or death. After completing the installation and filling the water heater
with water, turn on the water heater and test for leaks using a bubble test kit. After applying the soap solution, bubbles will form on the
connection if any leaks exist.
