NOTE: 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.

WARNING: 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.

NOTE: Wood screws can and should be replaced with appropriate

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

of siding.

CAUTION: 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 40. 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 41a 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 41b. Do not attempt to enclose the

Snorkel within the wall or any other type of enclosure.
