The vent piping operates with positive pressure
. Th e vent
piping must be completely sealed and securely supported.
Use only the vent components listed in this manual

of any other materials could result in vent system failure.
Exposed vent pipe poses a potential burn hazard to people and
pets. Insulate or shield the pipe where necessary to prevent
risk.
Never drill through, or install screws into
, the vent pipe or
vent components.
Seal test hole with high temperature silicone aft er each
combustion test and annual inspection to prevent gases and
condensation from leaking during appliance operation.
Failure to properly install the vent piping could result in fl ue
gas leakage, causing possible severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
