CUTTING OPENING THROUGH AN OUTSIDE WALL AND COLLAR INSTALLATION

Determine the location of the opening in the wall and cut a 3 3/4” (9.53 cm) hole (30 Gallon (113.56 Liter) & 40 Gallon (151.42 Liter)) or 4 3/4” (12.07 cm) hole (50 Gallon (189.27 Liter)) through an outside wall.

The 3” (7.62 cm) or 4” (10.16 cm) PVC, ABS or CPVC Schedule 40 vent pipe can be run from the water heater through the wall or from the wall to the water heater, whichever is most convenient. The vent pipe must extend a minimum of 1 1/2” (3.81 cm) through the exterior wall. Note that the inside collar must be slipped over the vent piping before locating the pipe through the wall. Before securing the inside and outside collars to the wall, use a silicone sealer between pipe and opening to insure a water and air tight seal, see Figure 23.

If swallowed, drink water, do not induce vomitting, and call a physician or poison control center immediately. If inhaled, get fresh air and seek medical attention if ill feelings persist. In case of eye and skin contact, immediately flush with plenty of water for 15 minuttes and seek medical attention if irritation persists. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

All primers, cleaners, and cements must meet all local codes and applicable standards of the American Society For Testing Materials Standards.

Before using primers, cleaners and cements, stir or shake, making sure contents are liquid. Do not use if found to be lumpy or jelly- like.
