AFFIXING THE Z-VENT™ FEMALE CONNECTOR ONTO THE Z-VENT™ SMOOTHCORE FLEX
1. Measure 1 inch from the end of the usable length and mark around the flex every
90° with a permanent marker joining the marks to make a continuous line. This is
the insertion depth.
2. Perform a dry fit by inserting the flex into the female adaptor until it bottoms out.
Make note of where the marking lines up.
3. Read the instructions on the supplied 10oz sealant tube (1 per Female Connector).
4. Trim the nozzle tip so that it is able to insert in-between the inner and outer wall of
the female connector and load tube in a caulking gun.
i. It may be easier to remove the gear clamp from the brackets when
applying the sealant.
5. Using a caulking gun compress the tube liberally injecting a constant bead of
sealant in-between the inner and outer wall of the connector while circling
entirely around the connector. Do not leave gaps in the bead of sealant.
Continue to inject the sealant while circling around the connector until the
channel is filled
with the sealant.
6. Place the female connector on the liner where the inner wall of the connector fits inside the flex and the outer wall
of the connector fits outside the flex.
i. Press down evenly and firmly until the connector lines up as previously noted with the insertion depth
mark on the flex liner. The sealant will rise as the liner is pressed down.
ii. Once the liner has bottomed down smooth the sealant in-between the outer wall and the liner completely
around the insertion point.
7. Re-install gear clamp if removed in step 4.i. and tighten.
8. Prior to installation, let the assembly cure for the minimum 24 hours or follow the cure time specified by the
approved sealant manufacturer.
JOINING 2 LENGTHS OF Z-VENT™ SMOOTHCORE FLEX
1. Follow the Instructions above for
AFFIXING THE Z-VENT™ FEMALE
CONNECTOR ONTO THE
SMOOTHCORE FLEX prior joining
2 assembly lengths.
2. After the 24 hour cure time, simply
evenly insert the small end male
connector into the gasketed end of
the female connector. You will meet
some resistance when in contact
with the gasket. Continue to insert
until fully seated.
