Impaired Performance of Appliance
• Overlap pipe slip sections at least 1-1/2 inches.

Heat Shield Requirements for Horizontal Termination
For all horizontally vented appliances, a heat shield MUST
be placed one inch above the top of the vent between the
wall shield restop and the base of the termination cap.
There are two sections of the heat shield. One section
attaches to the wall shield restop with two screws. The
remaining section is attached to the cap in the same man-
ner.
If the wall thickness does not allow the required 1-1/2
inch heat shield overlap, an extended heat shield must
be used.
The extended heat shield will need to be cut to the thick-
ness of the wall and be attached to the wall shield restop.
The small leg on the extended heat shield should rest on
the top of the vent (pipe section) to properly space it from
the pipe section (see Figure 8.12).

edges of cap.
When installing a horizontal termination cap, follow the cap
location guidelines as prescribed by current ANSI Z223.1
