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-harden-
ing mastic around outside edge of the standoff instead of the
vent cap assembly. Use wood screws provided to attach the
standoff.
