1. Cement the Y fitting to the larger diameter intake air pipe.
2. Slide the intake air pipe and Y fitting assembly from inside the
building through the hole cut for the termination in the roof
or sidewall. Ensure no foreign materials such as insulation
accumulate inside the assembly.
3. Secure the intake air Y fitting assembly using field supplied
metal strapping or equivalent support materials.
4. On installations installed through the roof, slide a field-supplied
plumbing boot or roof flashing over the intake air Y-fitting
assembly and secure it to the roof.
5. Seal around the plumbing boot or roof flashing.
6. Cement the vent cap onto the vent pipe. Alternately a field-
supplied stainless steel screw may be used to secure the two
components together when field disassembly is desired for
cleaning. A pilot hole must be drilled for the screw to prevent
damage/cracking of the vent cap and/or vent pipe.
7. Install the vent cap/vent pipe assembly into the intake air Y fitting
assembly. Ensure the small diameter vent pipe is cemented and
bottomed in the Y fitting.
8. Use the appropriate method for connecting intake air and vent
piping to the termination as follows:
• For two-inch installations, connect the pipe directly to
the two-inch termination. For three-inch installations
connect the pipe directly to the three-inch termination.
Do not mix different pipe and termination sizes.
• For four-inch pipe installations - connect the piping to
the concentric termination using field supplied 4" x 3"
reducer couplings and short sections of three-inch pipe
(18 inches or less).
Do not exceed the maximum equivalent vent length listed
in (page 23).
