6) Once fastened, the
Access Panel and the Pipe
Socket can be reinstalled
using the screws on the
opposite side (Figure 6).
7) The spacing between
the appliance exhaust and
air intake collars vary from
appliance to appliance.
Reference the appliance
installation instructions
to determine the center
to center distance of the
collars. If this information
is not available, using a
measuring tape measure
from edge to edge to
determine the collar
vent spacing (D1) for the
Universal Concentric Vent
Kit (Figure 7).
Universal Concentric Vent Kit Configuration Guide
1) The Universal Concentric Vent Kit comes assembled
in the box for a venting system with a left hand side
configuration (Figure 1). If your system is set up as a left
hand configuration skip to step 7.
2) If the venting system
has a right hand side
configuration start by
removing the 2 screws on
the Access Panel and the
Pipe Socket (Figure 2)
3) Next remove the
remaining 5 front screws
and separate both sides
of the casing (Figure 3),
providing access to the
inside of the unit.
4) Once open, the locking
tab on the 90D Reducer
Elbow should disengage
from the casing. Turn the
elbow 180° on the 3"
socket entrance (Figure 4)
engaging the locking tab
into the other side of the
casing.
5) Once engaged, close the
casing again making sure
to align the adjustable air
vent with the foam gasket
to prevent damage. Inspect
to make sure that the
foam gasket remains intact
(Figure 5) before re-installing
the screws

8) Locate the adjustable
air vent on the Universal
Concentric Vent Kit socket
which seals on the foam
gasket. Holding the
Universal Concentric Vent
Kit unit securely, apply
uniform force to the air vent
down and away from the
unit (Figure 8- 1 ) and shift it
left or right (Figure 8- 2 ) until
the spacing matches D1.
