Y FITTING
Figure 28
Assemble and install the 4 inch concentric termination. Refer to
Figure 28, Figure 29 and Figure 30 for these instructions:
1. Cement the Y fitting to the larger diameter intake air pipe.
2. Slide the intake air pipe and Y fitting assembly from inside the
building through the hole cut for the termination in the roof
or sidewall. Ensure no foreign materials such as insulation
accumulate inside the assembly.
3. Secure the intake air Y fitting assembly using field supplied
metal strapping or equivalent support materials.
4. On installations installed through the roof slide a field
supplied plumbing boot or roof flashing over the intake air Y
fitting assembly and secure it to the roof.
5. Seal around the plumbing boot or roof flashing.
6. Cement the vent cap onto the vent pipe. Alternately a field-
supplied stainless steel screw may be used to secure the 2
components together when field disassembly is desired for
cleaning. A pilot hole must be drilled for the screw to prevent
damage/cracking of the vent cap and/or vent pipe.
7. Install the vent cap/vent pipe assembly into the intake air Y
fitting assembly, Ensure small diameter vent pipe is cemented
and bottomed in the Y fitting.
8. When installing 3 inch intake air and vent piping connect
and cement the pipe directly to the concentric termination.
When installing 4 inch intake air and vent pipe - connect the
piping to the concentric termination using field supplied 4" x
3" reducer couplings and short sections of 3 inch pipe (18
inches or less) pipe. Cement all fittings and pipe in place.
9. Return to Direct Vent Installation on page 23 to complete the
installation of the intake air and vent piping between the
concentric termination and the water heater.
