Install the vent pipe by inserting it into the terminal side of the box and pushing it out through the seal on the heater side.
NOTE: Be sure flow direction is correct.
2c) Attach the outside portion of the com-
bustion air pipe to the box. Determine the length of the combustion air pipe so that dimension "X" (Figure 6A) is equal to the roof thickness, plus snow depth and ridge or parapet clearance, but does not exceed 60" (1524 mm). Attach the combustion air pipe to the collar with sheetmetal screws being careful not to penetrate the vent pipe.

the vent pipe and combustion air pipe up |
through the roof and secure the adapter box. |

Lubricate the seal and pipe with liquid soap or a rubber lubri- cant. (Installation Tip: Spray cooking oil works well as a lubri- cant for this task.) Being sure the pipe is in the proper flow direction, slide the end through the box and push it out through the rubber seal. Push evenly using caution not to displace the seal from its position on the edge of the hole. If the rubber seal moves, slide the pipe back slightly,
Position the vent pipe so that it will extend a minimum of 22" (559mm) past the end of the combustion air pipe. See Figure 6B.
A maximum of 6" (152mm) of vent pipe should extend out the heater side. Any time the pipe is
