C. Vent Termination

For Horizontal Terminations - To attach and secure the termination to the last section of horizontal vent:

•Rotate and interlock the ends as described at the beginning of the Installing Vent Components sec- tion.

•The termination kit should pass through the wall firestops from the exterior of the building.

•Adjust the termination cap to its final exterior posi- tion on the building.

WARNING

THE TERMINATION CAP MUST BE POSITIONED SO THAT THE ARROW IS POINTING UP.

For roundcap termination kits:

•Use the exterior pipelock hole provided on the round flange of the wall firestop to secure the vent pipe in place.

For trapezoidal cap termination kits:

•Using screws, secure the cap to the exterior wall through the flanges built into the cap.

•Use a high-temperature sealant or fiberglass rope gasket to seal between the 8-5/8 inch

(219 mm) pipe and exterior firestop.
