appliance adapter up though the Round
Support Box. Insure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centred on the small
Note: For best results and optimum perform-
ance with each approved venting sys-
tem, it is highly recommended to apply
"Mill-Pac" sealant (supplied) to every
inner pipe connection. Failure to do so

Silicone (red RTV) is optional.
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of suffi cient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles of 1-1/4". Slip the fl ashing
under the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the fl ashing) as per diagram 10.
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic

allows for small adjustments.
to avoid obstructions, it is important
to support the vent pipe every 3 feet,
to avoid excessive stress on the
elbows, and possible separation.
Wall straps are available for this
purpose. See diagram 5.
Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized
in the attic as well as above the roofl ine.
The galvanized fi nish is desirable above
the roofl ine due to its higher corrosion
resistance.
Continue to add pipe sections through the
fl ashing until the height of the vent cap
meets the minimum height requirements
specifi ed in diagram 11 or local codes.
Note that for steep roof pitches, the vertical
height must be increased. A poor draft, or
down drafting can result from high wind
conditions near big trees or adjoining roof
lines, in these cases, increasing the vent
height may solve the problem.

INSTALLATION
7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base
of the fl ashing to the roof with roofi ng rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section and
seal with a mastic.
8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist
locking it.
Notes:
a) For multistorey vertical installations, a
Ceiling Fire stop (Part # 963) is required
at the second fl oor, and any subsequent
fl oor. Diagram 12. The opening should
be framed to 10 " x 10" inside dimen-
sions, in the same manner as shown in
diagram 9.
b) Any occupied areas above the fi rst fl oor,
including closets and storage spaces,
through which the vertical vent passes,
must be enclosed.
