Venting and Chimneys
Figure 7.1 High Temperature Silicone Sealant
A. Assemble Vent Sections
to attach the first vent component to the starting collars of
the appliance:
• lock the vent components into place by sliding the pipe
section onto the collar.
• align the seam of the pipe and seam of collar to allow
engagement. Rotate the vent component to lock into place.
Use this procedure for all vent components. See Figure
7.2.
• Slide the gasket over the first vent section and place it flush
to the appliance. this will prevent cold air infiltration. caulk
with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating may
be used to hold the part in place.
• continue adding vent components, locking each
succeeding component into place.
• ensure that each succeeding vent component is securely
fitted and locked into the preceding component.
Required Commercial, Multi-family (Multi-level exceeding
two stories), or High-Rise Applications
For Installation into a commercial, multi-family (multi-level
exceeding two stories) or high-rise applications: all outer
pipe joints must be sealed with high temperature silicone
(300º F minimum continuous exposure rating), including
the slip section that connects directly to the horizontal
termination cap.
• apply a bead of silicone sealant (300º F minimum
continuous exposure rating) inside the female outer pipe
joint prior to joining sections. See Figure 7.1.
• only outer pipes need to be sealed. all unit collar, pipe,
slip section, elbow and cap outer flues shall be sealed in
this manner, unless otherwise stated.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Explosion! DO NOT
break
silicone seals on slip sections. Use care when removing
termination cap from slip pipe. If slip section seals are
broken during removal of the termination cap, vent may
leak.
