Vent/Air System Installation
6
Do not over tighten the self-drilling screws
into the sections. Use a low torque screw
drive to prevent stripping out the holes. If a
hole becomes stripped due to over tightening,
a larger diameter screw (length of screw
must not exceed 1/2”) or a short pop rivet
may be used.
6. Seal the two components together by placing a
clamp over the connection and pressing down
on the clamp lever. The clamp should be cen-
tered over the connection and the edge of the
clamp should cover the beads on the end of each
component. If the clamp does not cover and
lock onto the component jacket beads, ensure
the components are fully pressed together and
interlocked
WARNING
It is very important that the clamp be prop-
erly installed. Failure to properly connect
the vent components could lead to vent fail-
ure and can result in death, serious injury or
substantial property damage.
Termination Installation
1. Determine the termination location using the
guidelines listed on page 4 and 5 and drill or cut
a 6 inch hole.
2. Install the interior support plate on the inside
wall using the screws provide in the kit.
3. Mount the termination fitting through the interi-
or support plate from the exterior side of the
wall. Ensure the air inlet holes of the termina-
tion fitting are facing down and that the fitting
is mounted level.
To determine the appropriate length of the
termination fitting, mount the exterior sup-
port plate temporarily prior to the installation
of the interior support plate. Insert the termi-
nation fitting from the interior side of the wall
through the exterior support plate. The termi-
nation fitting has a formed bead that limits the
distance of penetration through the exterior
support plate. The termination fitting should
be measured and cut to length prior to mount-
ing the support plates. For information on
measuring and cutting the termination fitting,
reference page 7.
4. Mount the exterior support plate around the ter-
mination on the outside wall. Ensure the support
plate is flush to the formed end of the termina-
tion fitting and the fitting is mounted level.
The termination fitting must be installed
level without pitch to either the boiler or
away from boiler.
