Important Installer Notice – Weather Sealing & Vapor Barriers
It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that vent installations through exterior walls are caulked
and weatherproofed in such a manner as to:
• Prevent rain water from entering the wall from the weather side by adequately caulking the outer
vent plate to the exterior wall surface.
• Prevent moisture inside the home from penetrating into the wall structure by ensuring the inside
wall plate is adequately sealed to the inside vapor barrier.
• Prevent rain water and moisture from entering the walls by sealing the joints between the outer
vent tube and the inner and outer wall plates.
We recommend the use of a high quality polyurethane sealant.
