Flex Vent Installation - MHSC CDVR33 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

FlEx VENT INSTAllATION

1. Flexible UL1777 listed venting may be used in any venting application where rigid direct
vent components can be used. All restrictions, clearances and allowances that per-
tain to the rigid piping apply to the flexible venting. Flex
kits may not be modified. Flex kits may be added to the
end of a vent run made of rigid vent sections using pipe
manufacturer's approved flex to pipe adapters. This
may occur only if doing so does not violate any
of the venting length, height, routing, horizon-
tal to vertical ratio requirements or clearance
considerations detailed in this manual.
2. The flex adapter starter kit (DVFA/8) is used
to attach flex venting to the appliance starting
collar. It includes 4" inner and 7" outer adapter
rings. Figure 35
• The inner and outer adapter rings are required to
start all flex runs.
• Never install damaged or torn flexible venting.
• Over tightening clamps may rip, tear, or otherwise
damage flexible venting.
• The adapter kit does not include individual pipe sec-
tions which may be purchased separately. (UL1777
listed type venting only.)
3. Start the flexible vent as follows:
A. Installing the inner flex adapter and pipe. Figure 35
1. Insert the long side of the 4" inner ring into exhaust pipe, gently tap to seat into place,
and secure with screws.
2. Slide the small gear clamp over the inner flexible vent pipe, and push out
of the way.
3. Pull and extend the inner flexible vent.
4. Slide the inner vent onto the adapter collar, for a minimum 1
5. Locate the clamp at approximately 3/4" from the flex end and tighten.
6. Secure the clamped inner section with three (3) self-tapping screws, drilled
equidistant, just above the clamp perimeter.
B. Installing the outer flex pipe. Figure 36
1. Firmly insert the outer adapter ring into the outer appliance starting collar
and secure with screws.
2. Slide the large gear clamp over the outer flexible vent pipe, and push out
of the way.
3. Pull and extend the outer flexible vent.
4. Slide the outer vent onto the appliance collar outer adapter for a minimum
3
1 / " overlap.

5. Locate the clamp at approximately 3/4" from the flex end and tighten.
6. Secure the clamped outer section with three (3) self-tapping screws, drilled equidis-
tant, just above the clamp perimeter.
Flex vent pipe spacers: Refer to manufacturer's specific-
aionts for correct positioning of the spacer springs to main-
tain proper distance between inside and outside pipe.
