Below Grade Installations

STEP 6

Use appropriate length of pipe sections - telescopic or xed - and install the horizontal vent sections. The sections which go through the wall are packaged with the starter kit, and can be cut to suit if necessary. (Fig. 26).

Sealing vent pipe and restop gaps with high temperature sealant will restrict cold air being drawn in around replace.

Fig. 26

STEP 7

Apply high temperature sealant to 4" (100 mm) and 7" (175

mm)collars or the termination one inch away from crimped end. Guide the vent terminations 4" and 7" collars into their respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes over- lap the collars by 2" (50 mm). Secure the termination to the wall with screws provided and caulk around the wall plate to weatherproof, Fig. 27. As an alternative to screwing the termination directly to the wall you may also use expanding plugs or an approved exterior construction adhesive. You may also attach the termination with screws through the inner body into the 4" vent pipe however for this method you must extend the 4" pipe approximately 6" (150 mm) beyond the outer face of the wall.

Support horizontal pipes every 3' (91 cm) with metal pipe straps.

Check replace to make sure it is levelled and properly positioned.

When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12" (305mm) above grade level a snorkel vent kit is recommended. It allows installation depth of down to 7 " (178mm) below grade level. The 7" is measured from the centre of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.

If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a window well with adequate and proper drainage.

Ensure sidewall venting clearances are observed.

If installing a snorkel a minimum 24" vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 24" vertical pipe is 36" (915mm). This measurement is taken from the collar of the replace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. See the Sidewall Vent Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical rise exceeds 24".

1.Establish vent hole through the wall (Fig. 22.

2.Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16" below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window well (not supplied). Rell hole with 12" of coarse gravel leaving a clearance of approximately 4" below snorkel. (Fig. 28)

3.Install vent system.

4.Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe coming through the wall.

5.Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied) around the 4" and 7" snorkel collars.

6.Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to the wall.

7.Level the soil so as to maintain a 4" clearance below snorkel. (Fig. 28)
