Install Horizontal Termination Cap
WARNING! Risk of Fire! The telescoping flue section of
the termination cap MUST be used when connecting vent.
1-1/2 (38 mm) minimum overlap of flue telescoping
section is required.
Failure to maintain overlap could cause overheating
and fire.
Vent termination must not be recessed in the wall.
Siding may be brought to the edge of the cap base.
Flash and seal as appropriate for siding material at
outside edges of cap.
CAUTION! Risk of Burns! Local codes may require in-
stallation of a cap shield to prevent anything or anyone
from touching the hot cap.
NOTICE: For certain exposures which require superior
resistance to wind-driven rain penetration, a flashing kit
and HRC caps are available. When penetrating a brick
wall, a brick extension kit is available for framing the brick.
Note:
When using termination caps with factory-supplied
heat shield attached, no additional wall shield firestop is
required on the exterior side of a combustible wall.
