5.Installation requires a minimum of 6 in. (152 mm) horizontal run of vent with a 1/4 in. (6 mm) rise run towards the termination. Each 1 ft. (305 mm) of horizontal venting must include a 1/4 in. (6 mm) rise. Never allow the vent to run downward. This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a fire. The location of the horizontal vent termination on an exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must not be easily blocked or obstructed, see Figure 4.4 on page 10.

6.For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the building, the HHT RHVK snorkel kit (Part #844- 8921) is available with a 14 in. (356 mm) and a 36 in. (914 mm) tall snorkel termination cap. Follow the same installation procedures as used for standard horizontal terminations. If the snorkel termination must be installed below grade (i.e. basement application), proper drainage must be provided to prevent water from entering the snorkel termination. Do not backfill around snorkel termination.

7.Position the horizontal termination cap in the center of the 10 in. x 10 in. (254 mm x 254 mm) square hole and run a bead of non-hardening mastic around its outside edges, so as to make a seal between it and the wall, attach termination cap to the exterior wall with the four wood screws provided. The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up (Figure 5.6).

8.The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.

9.Termination cap HHW2 (Part #841-0670) is highly recommended on a building with vinyl siding, as the vinyl siding standoff is built in. The pilot hole will be 2 in. (51 mm) closer to the bottom of the square than the top. Using a framing square, draw a 14 in. x 14 in. (356 mm x 356 mm) square around the pilot hole. See Figure 5.7.

10.If you are installing termination cap HHW2, the pipe will be off center on flashing). Ensure that proper clearances to combustible materials are maintained. If you are using an approved termination cap other than HHW2 (part #841-0670) on a building with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding standoff should be installed between the termination cap and the exterior wall (Figure 5.8, on the next page). Follow manufacturer’s instructions for attaching the vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal termination cap. The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding material. The vent terminal cap shall not be recessed into a wall or siding. Remove siding from the area where the standoff will be located.
