8.2.2 VERTICAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION
A.
Fasten the roof support to the roof using the screws provided. The
roof support is optional. In this case the venting is to be adequately
supported using either an alternate method suitable to the authority
having jurisdiction or the optional roof support.
B.
Stretch the inner
fl
ex pipe to the required length. Slip the inner
fl
ex pipe a minimum of 2” over the inner pipe of the air terminal
connector and secure with 3 #8 screws. Seal using a heavy
bead of high temperature sealant W573-0007 (not supplied).
C.
Repeat using the outer
fl
ex pipe, using a heavy bead of high
temperature sealant W573-0002 (not supplied).
D.
Thread the air terminal connector / vent pipe assembly down
through the roof. The air terminal must be positioned vertically and
plumb. Attach the air terminal connector to the roof support, ensuring
that the top of the air terminal is 16” above the highest point that it
penetrates the roof.
E.
Remove nails from the shingles, above and to the sides of the air
terminal connector. Place the
fl
ashing over the air terminal connector
leaving a min. 3/4” of the air terminal connector showing above the
top of the
fl
ashing. Slide the
fl
ashing underneath the sides and upper
edge of the shingles. Ensure that the air terminal connector is properly
centred within the
fl
ashing, giving a 3/4” margin all around. Fasten to
the roof. Do not nail through the lower portion of the
fl
ashing. Make
weather-tight by sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides
and top edges of the
fl
ashing with roo
fi
ng material.
F.
Aligning the seams of the terminal and air terminal connector, place
the terminal over the air terminal connector making sure the vent
pipe goes into the hole in the terminal. Secure with the three
screws provided.
G.
Apply a heavy bead of weatherproof caulking 2” above the
fl
ashing.
Install the storm collar around the air terminal and slide down to the
caulking. Tighten to ensure that a weather-tight seal between the
air terminal and the collar is achieved.
H.
If more vent pipe needs to be used to reach the appliance see
“HORIZONTAL AIR TERMINAL INSTALLATION” section.
