INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
NOTE:
BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION OF ANY VENT
PIPE READ “VENT PIPE PREPARATION” SECTION ON
PAGES 12-14.
1.
After the points of termination have been determined, use
the cover plates as templates to mark the holes for the vent
pipes to be inserted through the wall.
BEWARE OF
CONCEALED WIRING AND PIPING INSIDE OF WALL.
2.
If the vent terminals are being installed on the outside of a
finished wall, it may be easier to mark both the inside and
outside wall. Align the holes by drilling a hole through the
center of the template from the inside through to the outside.
The template can now be positioned on the outside wall using
the drilled holes as a centering point for the template.
3.
A) MASONRY SIDE WALLS
Chisel an opening approximately one half inch larger than
the marked circle.
B) WOODEN SIDE WALLS
Drill a pilot hole approximately one quarter inch outside of
the marked circle. This pilot hole is used as a starting point
for a saws-all or sabre saw blade. Cut around the marked
circle staying approximately one quarter inch outside of the
line. (This will allow the vent pipe to easily slide through the
opening. The resulting gap will be covered up by the vent
terminal cover plates.) Repeat this step on the inside wall if
necessary.
4.
Cut a length of 3 inch PVC pipe about 3.5 inches longer than
the wall thickness at the opening.
5.
Glue the intake vent terminal to the section of the pipe.
6.
Slide the wall plate over the pipe to stop against intake vent
terminal.
7.
Place a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the gap
between the pipe and the wall. Place some of the caulking
on the back of the plate to hold it against the wall after
installation.
8.
If the vent pipe is installed up to the wall, with a coupling on
the end against the wall opening, the pipe with the vent
terminal can be prepared for gluing before inserting through
the wall. Slide the pipe through the wall and insert into
coupling on the other side of the wall, making sure that the
vent terminal ends up pointed in the correct position. (fig. 6)
