4. Apply a bead of non-hardening mastic around the
outside edge of vent cap. Position the vent cap in the
center of hole on the exterior wall with the word “UP”
on the vent cap facing up. Insure proper clearance of
1" to combustibles is maintained. Attach the vent cap
with four wood screws supplied.
Figure 20
NoTE:
Replace the wood screws with appropriate fasteners
for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of siding.
For vinyl siding, stucco, or wood exterior use vinyl siding
standoffs between vent cap and exterior wall. The vinyl
siding standoff prevents excessive heat from melting the
vinyl siding material. Bolt the vent cap to the standoff. Apply
non-hardening mastic around outside edge of the standoff
instead of the vent cap assembly. Use wood screws pro-
vided to attach the standoff.
