Initial Installation

QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY

HORIZONTAL TERMINATION:

Step 1. Set the replace in the desired location. Check to

determine if wall studs will be in the way when the

venting system is attached. If this is the case, the

location of the replace may have to be adjusted or

the venting may have to be offset.

Step 2. Direct vent pipe sections are designed with

special twist-lock connections. Dry t the desired

combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance

adapter.

Step 3. With the pipe in the correct position and attached

to the replace, mark the wall for a 10in x 10in

square hole. The center of the hole should match

the center line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame

the hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be

terminated. If the wall being penetrated is made

of a non-combustible material (i.e. masonry or

concrete), a 7in hole is acceptable.

NOTE: For Simpson Duravent only, place a bead of Mil-Pac

on the outer edge of the inner exhaust pipe (non-

ared end). Push the pipe sections together, then

twist about  turn, making sure the two sections are fully locked. Wrap all seams with foil ducting tape.

This method makes disassembly easy and reassembly can be done the way it was origianally assembled.

Step 4. With the hole now framed, the wall thimble installed and the pipe extending into the wall, proceed to the

outside. Attach the termination to the pipe using RTV and MilPac to seal joints. The vent pipe must extend

into the vent cap at least 1”. Secure the connection between the vent cap and the pipe by attaching the

two sheet metal straps, which extend from the vent cap assembly to the outerwall of the vent pipe. Bend

any remaining portion of the strap back towards the vent cap.

Step 5. Run a bead of non-hardening mastic around the edges of the vent cap, to make a seal with the wall.

Position the horizontal vent termination in the center of the 10in square hole and attach to the exterior wall

with the four screws provided. The arrow on the vent termination should be pointing up. Ensure the proper

clearances to combustibles have been maintained (see page 14).

See page 18 for important notes.
