CONCENTRIC VENT TERMINATION
Refer to Figures 6, 7, and 8 and install the vent terminal according to
the following instructions:

the wall at the chosen location. Install the Vent Terminal Plate
Assembly and secure with 4 screws.

ALWAYS DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF
WIRING, PIPES OR SUPPORTING STRUCTURES IN WALLS BE-
FORE CUTTING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING MAY
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR
WALL COLLAPSE CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Cut a 4 foot length of the 2 inch vent outlet pipe. Use only 2" ABS

or PVC plastic pipe. Using a soap and water solution as a
lubricant, push the 2 inch pipe through the rubber Compression

that may be in the combustion air pipe and prevent it from
entering the inducer blower.
Connect the trap drain line to a
suitable drain or to
downstream of the condensate
trap of the water heater. Do not
terminate the trap drain line
into the condensate drain
vent.
