If the vent system extends more than 5 feet (1.5
m) above the roof fl ashing, stabilizers may be
necessary. Additional screws may be used at
section joints for added stability. Guide wires
may be attached to the joint for additional sup-
port on multiple joint confi gurations.
G.
Continue installation of horizontal/inclined
sections -
Continue with the installation of the
straight vent sections in horizontal/inclined run
as described in
Step C.
Install support straps
every 5 ft. (1.52 m) along horizontal/inclined
vent runs using conventional plumber’s tape.
See Page 19, Figure 31. It is very important
that the horizontal/inclined run be maintained
in a straight (no dips) and recommended to be
in a slightly elevated plane, in a direction away
from the fi replace of
1/4 " rise per foot (20 mm
per meter)
which is ideal, though rise per foot
run ratios that are smaller are acceptable all the
way down to at or near level
.
Use a carpenter’s
level to measure from a constant surface and
adjust the support straps as necessary.
It is important to maintain the required clear-
ances to combustibles: 1" (25 mm) at all sides
for all vertical runs; and 3" (76 mm) at the top,
1" (25 mm) at sides, and 1" (25 mm) at the
bottom for all horizontal/inclined runs.
H.
Frame roof opening -
Identify location for
vent at the roof. Cut and/or frame opening per
Roof Framing Chart and
Figure 23
.
One method of support is by utilizing fi eld pro-
vided support straps (conventional plumber's
tape). Secure the plumber's tape to the framing
members with nails or screws.
Loop the tape
around the vent, securing the ends of the tape
to the framing. If desired, sheet metal screws #6
x 1/2" length may be used to secure the support
straps to the vent pipe. Refer to
Figure 21
.
F.
Change vent direction to horizontal/inclined
run -
At transition from or to a horizontal/in-
clined run, install the SV4.5E45 and SV4.5E90
elbows in the same manner as the straight vent
sections. The elbows feature a twist section to
allow them to be routed about the center axis
of their initial collar section to align with the
required direction of the next vent run element.
Twist elbow sections in a clockwise direction
only so as to avoid the possiblity of unlocking
any of the previously connected vent sections.
See
Figure 22
.
K.
Install the vertical termination -
The fi nal
step involves installation of the SV4.5CGV-1
Vertical Termination. Extend the vent sections
to the height as shown in the "Vertical vent ter-
mination section" on
Page 7
. The SV4.5CGV-1
Vertical Termination
(Figure 25)
can be installed
in the exact same fashion as any other
Secure
Vent
section. Align the termination over the
end of the previously installed section, adjust-
ing the radial alignment until the four locking
dimples of the termination are aligned with
the inlets of the four incline channels of the
last vent section. Push the termination down
until it fully engages, then twist the termination
clockwise running the dimples down and along
the incline channels until they are seated at the
end of the channels.
I.
Install the roof fl ashing -
Extend the vent
sections through the roof structure. Install the
roof fl ashing over the vent section and posi-
tion such that the vent column rises vertically
(use carpenters level)
(
Figure 24
)
. Nail along
perimeter to secure fl ashing or adjust roofi ng
to overlap the fl ashing edges at top and sides
only and trim where necessary. Seal the top
and both sides of the fl ashing with waterproof
caulking.
J.
Install the storm collar -
Install the storm
collar, supplied with the fl ashing, over the
vent/fl ashing joint. See
Figure 24.
Loosen the
storm collar screw. Slide collar down until it
meets the top of the fl ashing. Tighten the ad-
justing screw. Apply non-combustible caulking
or mastic around the circumference of the joint
to provide a water tight seal.
