Heat & Glo LifeStyle LUX60 owner manual Assemble Slip Sections, Secure the Vent Sections

B. Assemble Slip Sections

WARNING! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation! Overlap pipe sections at least 1 1/2 in. (38 mm). Secure slip sections with two screws which must not exceed 1/2 in. (13 mm) in length. Use the pilot holes. Pipe could separate if not properly joined.

•Slide the inner flue of the slip section into the inner flue of the pipe section and the outer flue of the slip section over the outer flue of the pipe section. See Figure 10.5.

•Slide together to the desired length.

C. Secure the Vent Sections

•Vertical runs of pipe must be supported every 8 ft. (2.44

m)after the 25 ft. (7.62 m) maximum unsupported rise.

•Horizontal sections of vent must be supported every 5 ft. (1.52 m) with a vent support or plumber’s strap.

•Wall shield firestops may be used to provide horizontal support.

•Vent support or plumber’s strap (spaced 120° apart) may be used for support. See Figures 10.7 and 10.8.

WARNING! Risk of Fire, Explosion or Asphyxi- ation! Improper support may allow vent to sag and separate. Use vent run supports and connect vent sections per installation instructions. DO NOT allow vent to sag below connection point to appliance.

Figure 10.5 Slip Section Pilot Holes

•Maintain a 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) overlap between the slip section and the pipe section.

•Secure the pipe and slip section with two screws no longer than 1/2 in. (13 mm), using the pilot holes in the slip section. See Figure 10.6.

Figure 10.6 Screws into Slip Section

•Continue adding pipe as necessary following instructions in “Assemble Pipe Sections.”

NOTICE: If slip section is too long, the inner and outer flues of the slip section can be cut to the desired length.

NOTICE: When installing a vent system with an HRC termination cap, all pipe system joints shall be sealed using a silicone sealant with a minimum of 300ºF continuous exposure rating.

•Apply a bead of silicone sealant inside the female outer pipe joint prior to joining sections.

•Only outer pipes are sealed, sealing the inner flue is not required.

•All unit collar, pipe, slip section, elbow and cap outer flues shall be sealed.
