7.Place the 3” (76 mm) elbow on the flue extension.
NOTE: Make sure elbow is properly aligned to opening in the outside wall.
Mark the 3” (76 mm) diameter end of the flue extension at the slots in the elbow. Using a #22 drill bit, drill holes into the flue extension at the two slots and secure the elbow to the flue extension using the screws provided.
10.If “E” dimension is less than 6 1/2” (165 mm) move to next step. If “E” dimension is over 6 1/2” (165 mm), assemble the 6” (152 mm) diameter extension pipe to the 6” (152 mm) diameter vent elbow and secure using two sheet metal screws. Using the tube of sealant supplied, run an ample amount around the joint to insure a good seal.
