1. Attach the First Vent Component to the
Starting Collars
Place the decorative collar on the top of the unit and attach
the minimum straight vent pipe required to the starting col-
lars of the unit. See Figures 5 through 9.
To attach the minimum section to the starting collars of the
unit:
Apply a 3/8 inch (9.5mm) bead of stove cement around
the 4 inch (102mm) appliance starting collar.
Lock the vent components into place by sliding the con-
centric pipe sections with four (4) equally spaced interior
beads into the appliance collar or previously installed com-
ponent end with four (4) equally spaced indented sections.
When the internal beads of each 6-5/8 inch (168mm)
outer pipe line up, rotate the pipe section clockwise about
one-quarter (1/4) turn. The vent pipe is now locked together.

to the Starting Collars
2. Continue Adding Vent Components
Continue adding vent components, locking each succeed-
ing component into place.
Ensure that each succeeding vent component is secure-
ly fitted and locked into the preceding component in the
vent system.
90° elbows may be installed and rotated to any point
around the preceding components vertical axis. If an el-
bow does not end up in a locked position with the preced-
ing component, attach with a minimum of two (2) sheet
metal screws.
