NOTICE: Termination cap should pass through the wall firestop

from the exterior of the building. Adjust the termination

cap to its final exterior position on the building.

Termination cap must be positioned so that arrow is pointing

up.

Attach the termination cap with the four wood screws provided.

Before attachment of the termination, run a bead of silicone sealant

rated above 250°F on its outside edge too, so as to make a seal

to the exterior wall.

NOTICE: Wood screws can and should be replaced with appropriate

fasteners for use on stucco, brick, concrete or other types

of siding.

If exterior walls are finished with vinyl siding (or materials that

could become discolored or warp), it is necessary to install a

vinyl siding standoff.

The vinyl siding standoff will be installed between the vent termination

and the exterior wall. See Figure 57. This horizontal vent termination

bolts onto the flat portion of the vinyl siding standoff, so an air space

will exist between the wall and the termination cap.

For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the

building, 14-inch and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations, as shown in

Figure 58a are available. Follow the same installation procedures as

used for standard Horizontal Terminations. If the Snorkel Termination

must be installed below grade (i.e. basement applications, proper

drainage must be provided to prevent water from entering the

Snorkel Termination. See Figure 58b. Do not attempt to enclose

the Snorkel within the wall or any other type of enclosure.
