2. Rigid vent pipes and fittings have special twist-lock
connections. Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor with pipe seams
oriented towards the wall or floor.
Twist-lock Procedure: The female ends of the pipes
and fittings have three locking lugs (indentations).
These lugs will slide straight into matching slots on
the male end of adjacent pipes and fittings. Push the
pipe sections together and twist one section clockwise
approximately one-quarter turn until the sections are
fully locked.
