The 7/8" diameter hole for the electrical conduit can
be located in two different locations in the top cap
depending upon which furnace model that the vent
adapter is being applied. The two locations are
labeled I and II on the Vent Adapter Kit Conduit
Placement Template included with the kit.
Location I is for furnaces with A (14.5"), C (21.00" and
D (24.50") width cabinets. Location II is for furnaces
with B (17.50") width cabinets.
3 − Position the vent adapter assembly on the furnace
flue transition as shown in figure 4 (location II).
