GENERAL INFORMATION ON ASSEMBLING
THE TWIST LOCK VENT PIPES
When using CFM Majestic twist lock pipe it is not neces-
sary to use silicone to seal the twist lock joints. The only
areas that need silicone are the collars on the fireplace,
the telescoping pipe (if used) and the horizontal termina-
tion connection (when necessary).
To join the pipes together, simply align the beads of the
male end with the grooves of the female end and while
joining the two together, twist the pipe until the flange on
the female end touches the external bead on the male
end. Secure the joints with three sheet metal screws.
To make easier to assembly, we suggest putting lubri-
cant (vaseline or similar) on the male end of the twist
lock pipe.
