Sidewall direct venting

Vent/air termination – sidewall

Figure 4-4B Clearance to Forced Air Inlets

Prepare wall penetrations (Factory

Supplied Option)

1. Use the factory supplied wall plate as a template to locate

the vent and air intake holes and mounting holes.

Air pipe penetration:
a. Cut a hole for the air pipe. Size the air pipe hole as
close as desired to the air pipe outside
diameter.

Vent pipe penetration:
a.

Cut a hole for the vent pipe. For either combustible or

noncombustible construction, size the vent pipe hole

with at least a 1/2 inch clearance around the vent pipe

outer

diameter:

• 5½ inch hole (140 mm) hole for 4 inch (102 mm)

vent pipe

• 7½ inch hole (191 mm) hole for 6 inch (152 mm)
vent pipe

Drill 3/16" diameter holes for inserting the plastic anchors
into the wall.

2. For Polypropylene Only: Install the vent and air intake

sidewall adapters from Table 3G on page 22 into the vent

plate. Slide the sidewall retaining bracket down the

sidewall adapters fl ush to the vent plate (FIG. 4-4A).

3. For PVC/CPVC Only: Install the vent and air intake

piping through the wall into the vent plate openings.

Use RTV silicone sealant to seal the air pipe. Use the

cement/primer listed in Table 3E on page 21 to seal the

vent

pipe.

3. Use a sidewall termination plate as a template for correct

location of hole centers.

4. Follow all local codes for isolation of vent pipe when passing

through fl oors or walls.

5. Seal exterior openings thoroughly with exterior caulk.

Prepare wall penetrations

1. Air pipe penetration:

a. Cut a hole for the air pipe. Size the air pipe hole as

close as desired to the air pipe outside diameter.

2. Vent pipe penetration:

a. Cut a hole for the vent pipe. For either combustible

or noncombustible construction, size the vent pipe

hole with at least a 1/2 inch clearance around the vent
