C. Secure the Vent Sections
WARNING! Risk of Fire, Explosion or Asphyxiation!
Improper support could allow vent to sag and separate.
Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per in-
stallation instructions. DO NOT allow vent to sag below
connection point to appliance.
• Vertical runs originating off the top of the appliance, with
no offsets, must be supported every 8 feet (2.44 m) after
the maximum allowed 25 feet (7.62 m) of unsupported
rise.
• Vertical runs originating off the rear of the appliance, or
after any elbow, must be supported every 8 feet (2.44
m).
• Horizontal runs must be supported every 5 feet (1.52 m).
• Vent supports or plumbers strap (spaced 120º apart)
may be used to support vent sections. See Figures 7.8
and 7.9.
Note: Figures 7.8 and 7.9 are to be used for reference
only. Method of strap installation could vary by
configuration of vent system.
• Wall shield firestops may be used to provide horizontal
support to vent sections.
• SLP ceiling firestops have tabs that may be used to
provide vertical support.

D. Disassemble Vent Sections
• Rotate either section (see Figure 7.10) so the seams on
both pipe sections are aligned as shown in Figure 7.11.
• Pull carefully to separate the pieces of pipe.
