terminal location has been determined, make holes
through the exterior wall to accommodate the vent
pipes. Vent pipes must exit exterior wall horizontally

and burrs. Chamfer end of pipe; then clean fitting
socket and pipe joint area of all dirt, grease, or
moisture.
2. After checking pipe and socket for proper fit, wipe
socket and pipe with cleaner-primer. Apply a
liberal coat of primer to inside surface of socket
and outside of pipe.

3. Apply a thin coat of cement evenly in the socket.
Quickly apply a heavy coat of cement to the pipe
and insert pipe into fitting with a slight twisting
motion until it bottoms out.
4. Hold the pipe fitting for 30 seconds to prevent the
tapered socket from pushing the pipe out of the
fitting.
5. Wipe all excess cement from the joint with a rag.
Allow 15 minutes before handling. Cure time will
vary according to fit, temperature, and Humidity
