Vertical Terminations
1. Maintain the 1-1/2" clearances, except when
passing through a wall, ceiling, or at the ter
-
mination where the use of a firestop or wall
thimble reduces the required clearance to 1".
Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Check
the "Venting Arrangement" section for the
maximum vertical rise of the venting system
and the maximum horizontal offset limitations.
2. Set the gas appliance in its desired location.
Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to the
position of the appliance flue exit, and mark the
location where the vent will penetrate the ceil
-
ing. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a
plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously
drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where
the vent will penetrate the roof. Determine if
ceiling joists, roof rafters or other framing will
obstruct the venting system. You may wish to
relocate the appliance or to offset, as shown
in diagram 8 to avoid cutting load bearing
members.

2. Install the Backing Plate into the wall
penetration heat shield and attach using
4 screws. Diagram 4.
3. Connect all pipe sections to unit and install
into wall:
a)
Measure pipe length required and cut
to length. Hint: use the cut end of
the 6-5/8" dia. outer pipe at the vent
terminal end.
b)
Push the pipe sections completely
together, the minimum pipe overlap
is 1-1/4". Secure all outer pipe joints
by using at least two screws. Locate
the screws at the bottom of the pipe
so that the screw heads are hidden on
the final installation.
NOTE: For best results and opti-
mum performance with each ap-
proved venting system, it is highly
recommended to apply “Mill-Pac”
sealant (supplied) to every inner
pipe connection. Failure to do so
may result in drafting or perfor-
mance issues not covered under
warranty.

c)
Before connecting the vent pipe to the
vent termination, slide the black deco
-
rative wall thimble cover over the vent
pipe, then slide the Wall Penetration
Heat Shield over the vent pipe. Dia. 3.
d)
Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the
vent pipe into the riser vent terminal
assembly. It is important that the vent
pipe extends into the Riser Vent Back
-
ing Plate a sufficient distance so as to
result in a minimum pipe overlap of
1-1/4 inches. Secure the connection
between the vent pipe and the vent cap
by attaching the two sheet metal strips
extending from the Riser Vent Backing
Plate into the outer wall of the vent
pipe. Use two aluminum screws pro
-
vided to connect the strips to the pipe
section. Bend any remaining portion
of the sheet metal strip back towards
the vent cap and cut off any excess,
it will be concealed by the decorative
wall thimble cover. See Diagram 5.
4. Slide the decorative wall thimble up to the
wall surface being careful not to scratch
the paint. See Diagram 5.
5. Back outside: Apply sealant to the 4" inner
flue and slide the Riser Vent Front into the
Backing Plate and fasten with 8 screws.
IMPORTANT:
When connecting the pipe to the Riser
Vent, apply Mill-Pac to the inner pipe
on the Riser Vent Terminal, around
the bead. Ensure that the vent pipe is
pushed past the bead for a secure fit.
6. Seal around the outer edge of the riser
vent backing plate.
If installing riser vent terminal, follow steps
below:
1. Take the Riser Vent terminal and separate
the Backing Plate from the Riser Vent Front
by removing 8 screws as shown in Diagram
4.
