Step 1 -
Determine the desired location of the appliance.
Check to ensure that wall studs or roof rafters are not in the
way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case,
you may want to adjust the location of the appliance.

Step 3 -
For installations using a
support box/
wall thimble
(check pipe manufacturer's instructions), mark the wall for
a 10 in. x 10 in.
(254mm x 254mm) square hole.
The center
of the square hole should line up with the center line of the
horizontal pipe, as shown in
Figure 5.5
.
Cut and frame the
hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated.
If
the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible
material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7 in. (178mm)
diameter hole is acceptable.

Step 2 -
Direct vent pipe is designed with a locking
connection. To connect the venting system to the appliance
flue outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built into the appliance
at the factory.
Remember to include wall thickness in
minimum clearances when figuring the measurements for
your installation needs.
Note
: Direct vent pipe is designed to slide straight onto
the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings by orienting
the pipe indentations so they match and slide into the entry
slots on the male ends, Figure
5.4.
Push the pipe sections
completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn, until the two sections are
fully locked. The female locking lugs
may
not be visible from
the outside, on the pipe or fittings. They may be located by
examining the inside of the female ends.
Fire Hazard.
Exhaust Fume Risk.
Impaired Performance of Appliance.
• Ensure vent components are locked together correctly.
• Pipe may separate if not properly joined.
WARNING
!
Fire Risk, Explosion Risk, Combustion
Fume Risk.
Use vent run supports per installation
instructions.
Connect vent sections per installation
