Assemble Vent Sections
(SLP Only)
To attach the first vent component to the starting collars
of the appliance:
• Lock the vent components into place by sliding the pipe
section onto the collar.
• Align the seam of the pipe and seam of collar to allow
engagement. Rotate the vent component to lock into
place. Use this procedure for all vent components. See
Figure 7.5.
• Slide the gasket over the first vent section and place it
flush to the appliance. This will prevent cold air infiltration.
Caulk with a minimum of 300 ºF continuous exposure
rating may be used to hold the part in place.
• Continue adding vent components, locking each
succeeding component into place.
• Ensure that each succeeding vent component is securely
fitted and locked into the preceding component.
It is acceptable to use screws no longer than 1/2 in. (13
mm) to hold outer pipe sections together. If predrilling holes,
DO NOT
penetrate inner pipe.
Required Commercial, Multi-family (Multi-level exceeding
two stories), or High-Rise Applications
All outer pipe joints must be sealed with 100% silicone
(300 ºF minimum continuous exposure rating), including
the slip section that connects directly to the horizontal ter-
mination cap.
• Apply a bead of silicone sealant (300 ºF minimum con
-
tinuous exposure rating) inside the female outer pipe
joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 7.1.
OR
Apply a bead of silicone sealant (300 ºF minimum con
-
tinuous exposure rating) to the outside of connecting
joint after joining sections
OR
Apply aluminum foil tape (300 ºF minimum continuous
exposure rating) to the outside of connecting joint after
joining sections. On horizontal pipe runs, it is recom
-
mended that the tape seam is positioned on the bottom
side of the vent pipe.
• Only outer pipes need to be sealed. All unit collar, pipe,
slip section, elbow and cap outer flues shall be sealed
in this manner, unless
otherwise stated.
Figure 7.5 Adding Venting Components
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! DO NOT
break
silicone seals on slip sections. Use care when remov-
ing termination cap from slip pipe. If slip section seals
are broken during removal of the termination cap, vent
could leak.
Note: Align seams to engage pipe,
then rotate counterclockwise to lock
B. Assemble Slip Sections
• Slide the inner flue of the slip section into the inner flue
of the pipe section and the outer flue of the slip section
over the outer flue of the pipe section. See Figure 7.6.
• Slide together to the desired length.

NOTICE:
When installing a vent system with an HRC
termination cap, all pipe system joints shall be sealed
using a high temperature silicone sealant (300 ºF minimum
continuous exposure rating).
•
Apply a bead of silicone sealant (300 ºF minimum
continuous exposure rating) inside the female outer pipe
joint prior to joining sections.
•
Only outer pipes are sealed, sealing the inner flue is not
required.
•
All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer
flues shall be sealed.
• Continue adding pipe as necessary following instructions
in “Assembling Pipe Sections.”
NOTICE:
If slip section is too long, the inner and outer flues
of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.
• Maintain a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap between the slip
section and the pipe section.
• Secure the pipe and slip section with two screws no
longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm), using the pilot holes in the
slip section. See Figure 7.7.
