Mark a 10” x 10” square around the center mark
(inside dimensions).
Cut and frame the exterior wall to except the Wall
Thimble (Duravent part #942 penetration heat
shield). Install the Wall Thimble shield using wood
screws. If the wall being penetrated is constructed
of non-combustible material a 7” hole sufficient for
the vent pipe is acceptable.
When the termination is to be attached to vinyl
siding apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around
the outside edge to form a seal between the standoff
and the terminal. Attach the terminal to the exterior
wall using four wood screws through the holes in
the corner of the vent terminal. Complete the
terminal installation apply a bead of mastic around
the outer edge of the vinyl standoff.
With the termination installed connect the
completed vent assembly by sliding the unit back
towards the wall and carefully inserting the pipe
into the terminal. Before the final connection is
made slide on the decorative wall thimble. Secure
the terminal by securing the termination straps to
the pipe as close to the exterior wall as possible
using sheet metal screws, ensure that the straps are
hidden by the wall thimble cover. Apply decorative
trim if required.
Before sliding the pipe into the termination ensure
that you have slid the decorative wall thimble cover
and penetration heat shield over the pipe.
Before sliding the pipe into the termination slide the
decorative wall thimble cover and penetration heat
shield over the pipe.
Slide the pipe in the vent, making sure that at least
11/4” overlap between the pipe and the terminal.
Attach the pipe by attaching two sheet metal screws
through the terminal straps and into the pipe. Bend
back the straps towards the terminal making sure
they are hidden by the decorative thimble.
Finally attach the wall penetration heat shield and
secure with wood screws.
