The vent terminal should be kept as close as possible to the outside
wall, but you need to allow at least 1.5" (3.8 cm) of pipe past the wall,
for the wall fl ange and vent terminal to mount on the pipe.
Before the vent terminal is installed, caulk (not supplied) around the
pipe on the exterior wall and install the optional wall fl ange. The fl ange
can be held to the outside wall by placing some of the caulking on the
back of the fl ange. The wall fl ange is supplied for decorative purposes
only and is not a requirement for the vent termination (if not needed
by the installer).
