INSTALLATION
RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS
BASIC HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
Rigid Pipe Vent Systems offer a complete line of
component parts for installation of both horizontal
and vertical installations. Many items are offered in
decorative black, as well as galvanized finish.
The minimum components required for a basic
Horizontal Termination are:
1 AstroCap XL Termination Cap
1 90
o
Elbow
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of rigid pipe to suit wall thickness
The minimum components required for a basic
Vertical Termination are:
1 Vertical Termination Cap
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor
1 Lengths of pipe to adequately
penetrate roof
1 Ceiling Firestop
1 Flashing
1 Storm Collar
Wall thickness is measured from the back
standoffs to the inside mounting surface of
termination cap. For siding other than vinyl furring
strips may be used, instead of the vinyl siding
standoff, to create a level surface to mount the
vent terminal. The Terminal must not be recessed
into siding. Measure the wall thickness including
furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must be
used with vinyl siding), measure to outside surface
of wall without siding and add 2" (51mm).
When using Rigid Vent other than
Simpson Dura-Vent, 3 screws must be
used to secure rigid pipe to adaptor.
WARNING:
Do not combine venting components from
different venting systems.
Exception: However, use of the the AstroCap
XL
TM
is acceptable with all systems.
