INSTALLATION OF VENT SYSTEM, SIDEWALL

With the route of the venting system and selection of
materials completed, as discussed in the section of this
manual titled "Planning The Vent System", the through-the-
wall vent terminal in place and the fi rst section of piping,
up to fi rst elbow, installed at the rubber coupling, it is time
to complete the installation of the venting system for the
sidewall installation.
Before completing the installation of the venting system
be sure to read the sections of this manual discussing the
proper method of cutting and cementing PVC pipe and
fi ttings in the "Vent Pipe Preparation" section.
It is recommended that the completion of the venting
system start at the rubber coupling and run to the coupling
on the inside wall of the vent terminal (see Figure 23).

The vent system piping should be supported every 5 ft.
(1.5m) of vertical run and every 3 ft. (91cm) of horizontal
run. All piping and fi ttings must be joined by the proper
procedures as described under "Vent Pipe Preparation".
