4.2.1 HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION

A. Stretch the inner fl ex pipe to the required length
taking into account the additional length needed for
the fi nished wall surface. Apply a heavy bead of the
high temperature sealant W573-0007 Mill Pac (not
supplied) to the inner sleeve of the air terminal. Slip
the vent pipe a minimum of 2" (50.8mm) over the
inner sleeve of the air terminal and secure with 6
#8 screws.
B. Using the outer fl ex pipe, slide over the outer
combustion air sleeve of the air terminal and secure
with 6 #8 screws. Seal using high temperature
sealant W573-0002 (not supplied).
C. Insert the vent pipes through the fi restop
maintaining the required clearance to
combustibles. Holding the air terminal (lettering
in an upright, readable position), secure to the
exterior wall and make weather tight by sealing
with caulking (not supplied).
D. If more vent pipe needs to be used to reach
the fi replace, couple them together as
illustrated. The vent system must be supported
approximately every 3 feet (0.9 meters) for both vertical and horizontal runs. Use noncombustible
strapping to maintain the minimum 1" (25.4mm) clearance to combustibles.
The air terminal mounting plate may be recessed into the exterior wall or siding no greater than the depth
of its return fl ange.
