9.The standard vent kit includes a 6” diameter extension pipe which is used when “E” dimension over 6 1/2”.

FIGURE 42

10.If “E” Dimension is less than 6 1/2” move to next step.

If “E” dimension is over 6 1/2”, assemble the 6” diameter extension pipe to the 6” 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.

13.Move outdoors with all the remaining vent parts. Using the tube of sealant supplied, run an ample amount on the inside surface of the collar assembly that will contact the exterior wall and also fill the bead on the end of the 6” diameter vent collar.

FIGURE 46

14.Install the vent collar assembly through the wall, connecting it to the extension and/or elbow (depending on which one was used).

FIGURE 47

15.Four wood screws are supplied to temporarily attach the collar to the exterior wall of the building. However, other types of screws may have to be substituted depending on the construction of the exterior wall.
