(NOTE: Some termination caps may cause the vent
pipe to be off center on flashing). Ensure that proper
clearances to combustible materials are maintained.
If you are not using an approved termination cap with
a built-in vinyl siding standoff on a building with vinyl
siding, a vinyl siding standoff should be installed between
the termination cap and the exterior wall (Figure 5.8).
Follow manufacturer's instructions for attaching the
vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal termination cap.
The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from
possibly melting the vinyl siding material. The vent
terminal cap shall not be recessed into a wall or siding.
Remove siding from the area where the standoff will be
located.

Place the wall thimble cover over the pipe assembly and
slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall,
carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent termination
cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extend into
the vent termination cap a sufficient distance so as to result
in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 in. (32mm). Secure the
connection between the vent pipe and the vent termination
cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from
the vent termination cap assembly into the outer wall of
