FLEx VENT INSTALLATION
1. Flexible UL1777 listed venting may be used in any venting
application where rigid direct vent components can be used.
All restrictions, clearances and allowances that pertain to
the rigid piping apply to the flexible venting.
Flex kits may
not be modified. Flex kits may be added to the end of a vent
run made of rigid vent sections using pipe manufacturer’s
approved flex to pipe adapters. This may occur only if doing
so does not violate any of the venting length, height,
routing, horizontal to vertical ratio requirements or
clearance considerations detailed in this manual.
2. The flex adapter starter kit (DVFA/8) is used to attach flex
venting to the appliance starting collar. It includes 4" inner
and 7" outer adapter rings (refer to
Figure 1
).
• The inner and outer adaptor rings are required to start
all flex runs.
• Never install damaged or torn flexible venting.
• Over tightening clamps may rip, tear, or otherwise
damage flexible venting.
• The adaptor kit does not include individual pipe
sections which may be purchased separately. (UL1777
listed type flex venting only.)
3. Start the flexible vent as follows—
A. Installing the inner flex adaptor and pipe (see
Figure 1
).
1. Insert the long side of the 4" inner ring inte exhaust
pipe, gently tap to seat into place, and secure with
screws.
2. Slide the small gear clamp over the inner flexible vent pipe, and push out of the way.
3. Pull and extend the inner flexible vent.
4. Slide the inner vent onto the adapter collar, for a minimum 1¾" overlap.
5. Locate the clamp at approximately ¾" from the flex end and tighten.
6. Secure the clamped inner section with three self tapping screws, drilled equidistance, just above the clamp
perimeter.
B. Installing the outer flex pipe (refer to
Figure 1
).
1. Firmly insert the outer adapter ring into the outer appliance starting collar and secure with screws.
2. Slide the large gear clamp over the outer flexible vent pipe, and push out of the way.
3. Pull and extend the outer flexible vent.
4. Slide the outer vent onto the appliance collar outer adapter for a minimum 1¾" overlap.
5. Locate the clamp at approximately ¾" from the flex end and tighten.
6. Secure the clamped outer section with three self tapping screws, drilled
equidistant, just above the clamp perimeter.
C. Routing UL1777 flex pipe.
1. Always maintain the required clearance when routing the flex vent assembly.
2. Install firestop spacers (see
Figure 3
) when penetrating ceilings,
attic spaces, or walls.
Flex vent pipe spacers: Refer to manufacturer’s
specifications for correct positioning of the spacer springs to
maintain proper distance between inside and outside pipe.
