Use & Care Manual

Read these instructions thoroughly and make
sure you understand all steps and procedures
before proceeding with the installation.
Determine the locations for the vent and
combustion air-inlet terminals then make
two (2) holes through the exterior wall to
accommodate the vent and combustion air-inlet
pipes.
• Maintain a minimum horizational distance
of 1 ft. (30.5 cm) between the vent and
combustion air- inlet terminal centerlines.
• Maintain a minimum distance from the
vent and combustion air-inlet terminals of
not less than 1 ft. (30.5 cm) above grade or
average snowfall whichever is greater.
Insert lengths of vent and combustion air-inlet
pipes through the wall as shown.
• Allow sufficient length of pipe to extend
beyond the exterior wall of the building for
attachment of the vent riser assemblies as
shown.
Place the supplied 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) mesh metal
screens inside each terminal fitting.
NOTICE: For cold climates the screens may
be removed.
Connect the vent riser assemblies to the vent
and combustion air-inlet pipes which are
extending out of the building.
• Ensure that the back of the 90° elbows
are flush with the outside wall surface
and that the vent and combustion air-inlet
terminations of the vent risers are parallel
with the outside wall.
IMPORTANT: Remember to include the
additional 90° elbows and vertical height of
vent and combustion air-inlet pipes of the vent
riser when calculating the maximum equivalent
vent and combustion air-inlet system lengths.
The maximum equivalent vent and combustion
air-inlet system lengths must be as specified by
Table 1 or 2.
• The vent and combustion air-inlet
terminations are not included in the
equivalency calculations.
