Installing Vent Pipe

A. Assemble Vent Sections
WARNING
Fire Risk
Exhaust Fumes Risk
• Overlap pipe slip sections at least
1-1/2 in.
• Use pilot holes for screws.
• Screws must not exceed 1 in. long.
• Pipe may separate if not properly
joined.
Attach Vent to the Firebox Assembly
To attach the fi rst pipe section to the collars, slide the male
end of the inner vent of the pipe section over the inner collar
on the fi rebox assembly. At the same time, slide the outer
fl ue over the outer collar on the appliance. Push the pipe
section into the appliance collar until all the lances (see Fig-
ure 8.1) have snapped in place. Tug slightly on the section
to confi rm it has completely locked into place.
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 application: All outer
pipe joints must be sealed with high temperature silicone,
including the slip section that connects directly to the hori-
zontal termination cap.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer
pipe joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 8.1.
• Only outer pipes are to be sealed. Do not seal the inner
fl ue. All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer
fl ues shall be sealed in this manner, unless otherwise
stated.
Note: The end of the pipe sections with the lances/tabs on
it will face towards the appliance.
WARNING
Fire Risk
Explosion Risk
If slip section seals are broken during the
removal of the termination cap, gas will leak
and a fi re or explosion may occur.
do not break silicone seals on slip sections.
Assemble Pipe Sections
Insert the inner fl ue of section A into the fl ared inner fl ue of
section B.
Start the outer fl ue of section A over the outer fl ue of section
B (see Figure 8.2).
Once both inner and outer fl ues are started, press section
A onto section B fi rmly until all lances have snapped into
place. Check to make sure they have snapped together (see
Figure 8.3) and the seams are not aligned (see Figure 8.4).
Tug slightly on section A to confi rm it has completely locked
into place. It is acceptable to use screws no longer than 1
in. (25 mm) to hold outer pipe sections together. If predrilling
holes, do NOT penetrate inner pipe.
For 90° and 45° elbows that are changing the vent direction
from horizontal to vertical, one screw minimum should be
put in the outer fl ue at the horizontal elbow joint to prevent
the elbow from rotating. Use screws no longer than 1 in. (25
mm). If predrilling holes, do NOT penetrate inner pipe.
