horizontal vent run.
For Horizontal Terminations -
To attach and secure the
termination to the last section of horizontal vent:
• Rotate and interlock the ends as described at the begin-
ning of the Installing Vent Components section.
• The termination kit should pass through the wall firestops
from the exterior of the building.
• Adjust the termination cap to its final exterior position on
the building.
WARNING: THE TERMINATION CAP MUST BE
POSITIONED SO THAT THE ARROW IS
POINTING UP. THE HEAT SHIELD PROVIDED WITH
