Reference the Appliance
instructions to determine the type and limitations applicable to
the appliance being installed.
Clearance to Combustibles:
Maintain proper minimum airspace clearances to combustibles
as specified by the Appliance Manufacturer's instructions. Do
not place anything including any type of insulation in this
required air space.
Appliance Adapter:
The Appliance Adapter (AA) adapts DIRECT-TEMP to most direct
vent appliances incorporating outlet collars configured to receive
most common 4" (ID) by 6-5/8" (OD) or 5" (ID) by 8" (OD) "Twist
Lock" style, direct-vent systems.
The adapter incorporates two indentations on the outer wall of the
inlet end, which are designed to "Twist Lock" into place upon
attachment to the appliance outlet. Align the adapter indentations
with the entry slots of the appliance outlet and slide together. Turn
the adapter clockwise approximately one-quarter turn to lock in
place. The outlet end of the adapter is standard DIRECT-TEMP
construction.
For connection of Direct-Temp to units with 4"x7" flue outlets, the
following methods have been approved:
-Install the Universal/Napoleon Appliance Adapter 4DT-AAN.
-Connect a standard Direct-Temp pipe length (do not use an
adjustable length in this application) a minimum of 1-1/2" over the
flue outlet. The outside of the Direct-Temp Length will fit inside the
flue outlet. Secure with a minimum of two #8x1/4" sheet metal
screws and seal with hi-temp silicone.
For units factory equipped with appliance adapters from other
brands of Direct Vent systems, it is permissible to simply slide a
length of DT pipe over the appliance adapter.

Joint Connection:
The pipe and elbows are assembled by inserting the outlet
(male) end of a length of pipe or elbow into the inlet (female) end
of an adjacent length of pipe or elbow. Make sure the outlet end
is fully seated within the inlet end of the adjoining section and
the gasket, located on the inner liner of the inlet section is fully
enclosed by the inner liner of the outlet of the
adjoining section. Push in the Lock Tab such that it becomes
seated within the inward groove of the adjoining section. This
locks the joint in place (see Figure 2).
