rior wall with four wood screws provided. Before attaching
the vent cap to exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening mastic
(pliable sealant) around the outside edges to make a seal be-

cap and exterior wall. The siding standoff prevents excessive
heat from damaging the siding materials. Siding material must
be cut to accommodate standoff. Bolt the vent cap to the stand-
off. Apply non-hardening mastic around outside edge of stand-
off. Position the standoff/cap assembly in the center of the 10
