Step 8. Secure the top adapter to the flashing. Use three
sheet metal screws through the side of the top
adapter into the flange on the flashing (Figure 25).
Twist lock the high wind termination cap (SDV
#991) on to the top adapter.
Step 9. Attach the flex to the retro connector. Use three
sheet metal screws to attach the flex liner to the
connector (Figure 26). Mount the retro connector
to the masonry wall using masonry bolts. Redrill
larger holes on connector as needed. Be careful
to ensure that the connector is centered in the
opening and the mounting holes line up with the
masonry wall.
Step 10. Slide wall thimble cover (SDV #940) over retro
connector and secure with masonry bolts (Figure
27). If you have a framed wall in front of the
masonry, use wood screws to mount wall thimble
cover to framed wall, over retro connector and
10" (254mm) square framed opening (Figure 22).
If needed, add a section of direct vent pipe to the
retro connector in order to extend through the
opening in the wall thimble cover.
Step 11. The connection between the appliance and the
retro connector may be completed with sections
of direct vent pipe.
