C. Routing UL1777 flex pipe.
1. Always maintain the required clearance when routing the flex vent assembly.
2. Install firestop spacers (Figure 36) when penetrating ceiling, attic spaces, or walls.
3. Do not allow the flexible vent to bend in radius tighter than 5" (127 mm). Figure 35
4. Horizontal runs of flexible vent shall be supported at maximum 2 foot intervals; vertical runs, five feet
intervals. Metal strapping, properly secured, is an acceptable means to support the flexible vent.
5. Flexible vent spacers are to be installed at intervals prescribed by the flexible vent manufacturer; and in such
a way as to maintain concentric inner and outer vent spacing.
D. Attaching flexible venting to vertical termination assemblies.
1. When using Simpson pipe, an MHSC flex-to-pipe adapter and/or rigid pipe section(s) is required to con-
nect the flexible vent assembly to the vertical termination by using three self-penetrating screws.
2. Review Figure 37 and corresponding instructions for proper overlap, clamp and screw placement.
3. Three each self-penetrating screws are drilled opposite one another and below the gear clamp.
4. Use only listed and approved terminations and accessories, installed per the installation instructions and
Figure 36.
E. Installing flexible venting to horizontal termination assemblies.
1. Connect the 4" flexible vent to the horizontal termination. Figure 38
2. Slide termination cap adapter ring over the termination cap's outside pipe and secure with three
screws.
3. Connect the 7" flexible vent to the termination adapter ring. Figure 38
4. Review Figure 38 for proper overlap and clamp placement.
