insert the small end through the cover plate and guide it into the top liner section.
Continue sliding the slip section down until the storm collar rests on the cover plate
and supports the slip section on the expanded end. Tighten the storm collar clamp.
Finally, attach the rain cap to the slip section with the locking ring and locking tabs
(Figure 6).
I. Connect Appliance To The Chimney
Both the choice of connector material and the method of installation will differ
depending on the type of appliance to be connected. Follow the appropriate
supplemental instructions to choose the proper connector and attach it to the
Saf-T Vent system.

vent or chimney connector.) An additional opening may be needed for a cleanout tee.
The size of the hole will depend on the type of support system to be used with the
installation. See Heat-Fab's
Planning and Preparation Manual for Saf-T Vent
to
determine which support system, the support bracket or support legs, is most
appropriate for this installation. Use the instructions packaged with the support for
specifications on preparing the chimney and installing the support.
B. Connect the Tee or Elbow
When a tee is to be used for the appliance connection it may be preconnected to the
sections of vertical flue gas conduit and lowered down the chimney. Remove the
horizontal take-off from the tee by loosening the retractable bands.
When a 90°, 70°, or 45° elbow is to be used for the appliance connection, it may also
be possible to attach it to the liner and lower it down the chimney. The chimney flue
space must, however, be large enough to accommodate the horizontal take-off from
the elbow (which extends approximately 5 inches). If the flue space is not large
enough, the elbow will have to be attached to the bottom of the vertical conduit after
it is lowered down the chimney.
Attach the support clamp to the tee or elbow, just
below
the expanded portion at the
top
of the fitting. The tabs on the support clamp should be facing
down
, and should
be oriented
90 degrees
from the horizontal take-off of the tee or elbow. Tighten the
clamp by turning the screw clockwise with a screwdriver. To make connection of the
support clamp to the support brackets or legs easier, it is useful to pry the tabs on the
support clamp out from the side of the conduit about 1/4 inch. Avoid bending them
