7) Ensure that the pipe clearances to
combustible materials are maintained
(Diagram 5). Install the termination cap.
Note: If installing termination on a vinyl
siding covered wall, a vinyl siding
standoff or furring strips must be used
to ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
The four wood screws provided should be re-
placed with appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
8) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble over the vent pipe. The wall thimble
is required for all horizontal terminations.
9) Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the vent
pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important
that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap
suffi cient distance so as to result in a minimum
pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches (32mm). Secure
the connection between the vent pipe and
the vent cap.
10) Install wall thimble in the center of the framed
hole and attach with wood screws (Diagram
7).
Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with the
components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the way when the venting system is attached.
If this is the case, you may want to adjust
the location of the unit. Rough in the gas
preferably on the right side of the unit and
the electrical (junction block is on the left
side) on the left.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fi ttings are designed with
special twist-lock connections to connect the
venting system to the appliance fl ue outlet.
A twist-lock appliance adaptor is required.
3) In conjunction with the Approved Vent system,
install the adaptor after the unit is set in its
desired location. Slip the adapter over the
existing inner and outer fl ue collar. Fasten
to the outer collar only with the 3 supplied
screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier).
4) Level the fi replace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the top and
side nailing strips.

Note: For best results and optimum
performance with each approved
venting system, it is highly
recommended to apply “Mill-Pac”
sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe
connection. Failure to do so may result
in drafting or performance issues not
covered under warranty. Silicone (red
RTV) is optional.
Diagram 2
Horizontal runs of vent must be supported
every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are
available for this purpose.
6) Mark the wall for a square hole.-see chart to
left for size. The center of the square hole
should line up with the center-line of the
horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the square
hole in the exterior wall where the vent will
be terminated. See diagram 2 for center line
requirements.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block
or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter hole
is acceptable.
Note:
a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot
of run towards the termination. Never
allow the vent to run downward. This
could cause high temperatures and may
present the possibility of a fi re.
b) The location of the horizontal vent
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. See
"Exterior Vent Termination Locations"
section for more details.
5) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.

Below are the recommended framing dimen-
sions (inside measurements) for the 5" x 8"
rigid vent terminations - for use with a fi restop
or wall thimble.
* Clearances noted below must be maintained;
except when passing through a wall, ceiling or at the
termination where the use of a fi restop or wall thimble
reduces clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm).
IMPORTANT
Must use Rear Venting Defl ector packaged with unit
in rear vent horizontal termination applications.
