Installing vent Components (Figure 36)
Begin the vent system installation by installing the first component,
90° elbow to the starting collars or straight pipe on the top of the
appliance, then the straight pipe length and then horizontal or
vertical termination kit.
NOTE:
All outer connection joints must be sealed with aluminum
tape, screws or silicone sealant rated above 300°F/149°C. The inner
flue joints do not require any sealant.
All vent system components lock into place by sliding the concentric
pipe section with four (4) equally spaced interior beads onto the
appliance collar or previously installed component end with four
(4) equally spaced indented sections. When the internal beads of
each starting outer pipe line up, rotate pipe section clockwise 90°
(approximately 3 inches). The vent pipe is now locked together.
Continue adding components per the pre-planned vent system
configuration. Be certain that each succeeding vent component
is securely fitted and locked into the preceding component in the
vent system.
