Installing SLP Vent Pipe
A. Assemble Vent Sections
To attach the first 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 0..
•
Slide the gasket over the first vent section and place
it flush to the appliance. This will prevent cold air
infiltration. High temperature caulk 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
fitted and locked into the preceding component.
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,
including the slip section that connects directly to the
horizontal termination cap.
•
Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer
pipe joint prior to joining sections.
•
Only outer pipes need to be sealed. All unit collar, pipe,
slip section, elbow and cap outer flues 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 removing
termination cap from slip pipe. If slip section seals are bro-
ken during removal of the termination cap, vent may leak.

B. Assemble Slip Sections
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation! Overlap pipe
sections at least 1 1/2 in. (38 mm). Secure slip sections
with two screws which must not exceed 1/2 in. (13 mm)
in length. Use the pilot holes. Pipe could separate if not
properly joined.
•
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 11.2.
•
Slide together to the desired length.
Figure 10.2 Slip Section Pilot Holes
•
Maintain a -/2 in. (8 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 0..
Figure 10.3 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.
