Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing &
Vapor Barriers
It is the installer's responsibility to ensure that vent installations
through exterior walls are caulked and weatherproofed in such a
manner as to:
• Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side
by adequately caulking the outer vent plate to the exterior wall
surface.
• Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall
structure by ensuring the inside wall plate is adequately sealed to
the inside vapor barrier.
• Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by
sealing the joints between the outer vent tube and the inner and
outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.
