Installing Vent Pipe

A. Assembly of Vent Sections
Fire Risk
Exhaust Fumes Risk
Impaired Performance of Appliance
• Overlap pipe slip sections at least 1-1/2 inches.
• Use pilot holes for screws.
• Screws must not exceed one inch long.
• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.
Attaching Vent to the Firebox Assembly
To attach the first pipe section to the collars, slide the male end of
the inner vent of the pipe section over the inner collar on the firebox
assembly. At the same time, slide the outer flue over the outer
collar on the appliance. Push the pipe section into the appliance
collar until all the lances (see Figure 8.1) have snapped in place.
Tug slightly on the section to confirm it has completely locked into
place.
Assembling Pipe Sections
Insert the inner flue of section A into the flared inner flue of section B.
Start the outer flue of section A over the outer flue of section B (see
Figure 8.2). Note: The end of the pipe sections with the lances/tabs
on it will face towards the appliance.
Once both inner and outer flues
are started, press section A onto
section B firmly until all lances
have snapped into place. Check
to make sure they have
snapped together (see Figure
8.3) and the seams are not
aligned (see Figure 8.4). Tug
slightly on section A to confirm
it has completely locked into
place.
For 90° and 45° elbows that are
changing the vent direction from
horizontal to vertical, one screw
minimum should be put in the
outer flue at the horizontal elbow
joint to prevent the elbow from
rotating.
WARNING
Note:
Make sure that the seams are not aligned to prevent unintentional disconnection.
