7. Joint Assembly Instructions:
a. Before joining the sections or fittings together, use an alcohol pad to wipe the joint area of both ends of the inner
pipe. This will remove any foreign matter which may affect the integrity of the seal. Install the system with the
female ends (ends with the red seal) pointing away from the appliance. (Unless specified differently by the appliance
manufacturer.)
b. Insert the male end of the inner pipe into the female end of the previous section. In extremely dry conditions it may be
helpful to moisten the seal with clean water prior to assembly. Push firmly until the outer jacket has made contact with
the snap ring located inside the female end of the previous section. When fully assembled the outer female end will
overlap the male end 1”.
c. Use the three (3) self-tapping screws provided to connect the outer vents. No pre-drilling is required.
NOTICE
Do not overtighten. If using a variable torque drill, use a low torque setting to install screws, as not to strip
out the holes. If a hole becomes stripped due to overtightening, a larger diameter screw (½” long max.) or
short pot rivet can be used.
