1.18 VENT JOINT ASSEMBLY

All EPSC components feature a simple push-fit joint design,
allowing ease and speed of installation, while maintaining a
secure and pressure tight joint. To assemble the joint, simply
follow the steps below.
1. EPSC are always installed with the female spigot facing
towards the termination and the male end facing
towards the appliance. The product label includes an
arrow pointing away from the appliance. See Fig. 1-1
2. Having checked the correct orientation of the product,
clean both the male and female ends with a suitable cloth
to ensure they are free from dirt and grit.
3. Apply a generous amount of RTV Silicone around the
outer circumference of the male end. Do the same around
the inner circumference of the Elastomer Seal, while also
checking the seal for any potential signs of damage. See
Fig. 1-2.
4. After applying RTV Silicone, align the male end into the
female and push the joint together using a slight twisting
action.
5. With the joint assembled, locate the Locking Band around
the joint as detailed in Fig. 1-3. The Locking Band must be
installed so that the toggle is only closed from left to right.
NOTE: Hi Temp RTV Silicone with a temperature up to 500°F
is suggested to provide additional sealing.
Do not secure screws into the vent. The lock-
ing band is the only thing needed for proper
!
assembly.
Risk of injury. Sheet metal parts may be
sharp. Always wear gloves and appropriate
eye, foot, and other protection when handling
