tighter than 5" (127 mm).
Figure 37
4. Horizontal runs of flexible vent shall be supported
at maximum 2 foot intervals; vertical runs, five feet
intervals. Metal strapping, properly secured, is an
acceptable means to support the flexible vent.
5. Flexible vent spacers are to be installed at inter-
vals prescribed by the flexible vent manufacturer;
and in such a way as to maintain concentric inner
and outer vent spacing.
D. Attaching flexible venting to vertical termination
assemblies.
1. When using 5 x 8 flex pipe, an MHSC flex-to-pipe
adapter and/or rigid pipe section(s) is required to
connect the flexible vent assembly to the verti-
cal termination by using three self-penetrating
screws.
2. Review
Figure 39
and corresponding instruc-
tions for proper overlap, clamp and screw place-
ment.
3. Three each self-penetrating screws are drilled
opposite one another and below the gear
clamp.
4. Use only listed and approved terminations and
accessories, installed per the installation instruc-
tions and
Figure 38
.
E. Installing flexible venting to horizontal termination
assemblies.
1. Connect the 5" flexible vent to the horizontal
termination as in
Figure 40
.
2. Connect the 8" flexible vent to the termination
ring as in
Figure 40
.
3. Review
Figure 40
for proper overlap and clamp
placement.
4. Three each self-penetrating screws are drilled
