Install the vent system according to the manufacturer's instructions included with the components.
Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are available for this purpose.
6)Mark the wall for a 11" x 11" (279mm x 279mm) square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the center- line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 11 inch (279mm) square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. See diagram 2 for center line requirements.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
7)Ensure that the pipe clearances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 5). Install the termination cap.

INSTALLATION
1)Set the unit in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in the gas preferably on the right side of the unit and the electrical (junction block is on the left side) on the left.

Note:
a)The horizontal run of vent must be level, or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run towards the termination. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a fi re.
b)The location of the horizontal vent termination on an exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must not be blocked or obstructed. See "Exterior Vent Termination Locations" section for more details.

The four wood screws provided should be re- placed with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
8)Before connecting the horizontal run of vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall Thimble over the vent pipe. The wall thimble is required for all horizontal terminations.
9)Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap sufficientdistancesoastoresultinaminimum pipe overlap of
