*NOTE: Termination in an alcove space (spaces open only on one side and with an overhang) is permitted with the dimensions specified for vinyl or non-vinyl siding and soffits. 1. There must be a 3’ (914 mm) minimum between termination caps. 2. All mechanical air intakes within 10’ (1 m) of a termination cap must be a minimum of 3’ (914 mm) below the termination cap. 3. All gravity air intakes within 3’ (914 mm) of a termination cap must be a minimum of 1’ (305 mm) below the termination cap.

General Information Assembling Vent Pipes

Canadian Installations:

Venting system must be installed in accordance with the current CSA-B149.1 installation code.

USA Installations:

The venting system must conform with local codes and/ or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54.

Only venting components manufactured by CFM Corpo- ration can be used in Direct Vent systems.

Twist Lock Pipes

When using CFM Corporation twist-lock pipe it is not necessary to use sealant on the joints. The only areas of the venting system that need to be sealed with high temperature silicone sealant are the sliding joints of any telescopic vent section used in the system.

To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads of the male end with the grooves of the female end, then while bringing the pipe together, twist the pipe

until the flange on the female end contacts the external flange on the male end. It is recommended that you secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws, however this is not mandatory with twist lock pipe.

To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end of the twist lock pipe prior to assembly.
