Terminal
1. Cut the vent terminal pipe unit to size. See fi gure 31.
Important! The drain hole must be clearly outside the
wall.
a) Measure the wall thickness.
b) Add distance from case rear to wall.
c) Measure this total length along the vent unit from
where the termination cap joins the main terminal
pipes. Mark the unit.
d) Insert the Styrofoam support ring and push it as
close as possible to the marked position.
e) Cut the vent tubes squarely to length.
f) Make sure that all Styrofoam is removed from
the vent unit after cutting.
2. Free the appliance from the frame studding by removing
the four screws inside the fi rebox securing the side
angles. See fi gure 30. Slide the appliance forward to
allow the terminal to be fi tted.
3. Fit the vent unit fully over the appliance inlet and outlet
collars pushing on fi rmly. Make sure that the drain hole is
at the bottom—the seam will be through the notch in the
wall plates. See fi gure 34.
4. Drill through the terminal outer tube and appliance outer
collar for #6 screws. See fi gure 31. Make sure that the
drill does not penetrate the inner tubes.
5. Secure the terminal to the outer collar with two #6 thread-
cutting screws supplied. See fi gure 31.
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.
