PLATE SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
The Plate Support Assembly is designed to provide support to vertical and
horizontal sections. The Plate Support must be attached to the building structure
or support with rigid structural members. Proper clearance to combustible
construction must be maintained.
For maximum support, attach the entire perimeter of the Plate Support Assembly
to the structural framing. (See
FIG. 5
). Structural members are supplied by the
installer. The Flange Band is placed between the Support Plate and the Clamp
Rings and aligned with notches for the Flange Band Clamps. Align holes of
the support plate and Clamp Rings and assemble together using the hardware
provided.
Vertical vent systems can be suspended pre-assembled and lowered into
a shaft. Refer to
TABLE 5
for maximum height that can be suspended from
overhead.
Do not
pre-assemble in the horizontal position and raise to the
vertical position for installation.
WARNING: ALL JOINTS MUST BE PROPERLY ASSEMBLED
AND ALLOWED TO CURE BEFORE LIFTING FOR
INSTALLATION.
WALL PENETRATION
1.
Prior to installation, determine proper location of wall thimble so that
a minimum slope of 1/4” (6mm) per foot is maintained in the
horizontal section of vent to ensure proper flow of condensation.
2. Prepare the wall by cutting a square opening per
TABLE 6
. (Opening
size adequate to insert Wall Thimble components)
3. Install the Wall Thimble by inserting the larger of the two parts
on the appliance (interior) side.
4. Next, apply a bead of sealant around the edges of the
exterior (smaller of the two parts) Wall Thimble component. Then
install this part of the Wall Thimble by inserting the smaller collar into
the other component from the previous step.
NOTE: The two horizontal cylinders of the Thimble must engage a
minimum of two inches.
5. Fasten both sides of the Wall Thimble using screws or nails.
6. Once the Thimble is installed, Corr/Guard vent pipe can be inserted
into the Thimble. For 3” - 5” diameter Corr/Guard insert the male
end first. (See
FIG. 6, 7 & 8
).
7. Assemble Corr/Guard vent from the Wall Thimble section back to the
appliance.
8. Install a horizontal termination to complete the assembly.
9. Once assembly is completed, apply a bead of high-temp sealant
around the pipe and the exterior plate of the Thimble to protect
against weather.
