14. Place the vent cap in the vent collar assembly.

FIGURE 67

15.The vent cap has 4 holes around the outer edge. Remove the 4 screws used to temporarily attach the collar to the exterior wall. Then secure the vent cap assembly with the vent collar assembly to the exterior wall using the same 4 screws.

NOTE: Screws are supplied; however, substitution may be necessary depending on the exterior wall material.

16.Move indoors to complete the assembly process.

FIGURE 68

17.Collapse the 6” flue extension assembly as shown and install the 3” extension by first slipping the end with the O-ring approximately 1 1/4” into the end of the vent cap. Lock the other end of the 3” extension to the studs in the elbow.

NOTE: To facilitate ease of assembly of the vent cap to the 3” pipe, a soap solution can be applied to the O-ring gasket.

FIGURE 69

18.Using a #22 drill bit, drill holes 180° apart at the connection point of the two 3” flue extensions. Then using 2 screws provided, lock these pipes together.

FIGURE 70

19.Now the 6” vent extension pipes can be expanded to connect at the vent elbow.

FIGURE 71

20.Pull the vent collar from the elbow to be against the wall and secure it using the screws provided.

FIGURE 72

21.Lock the 6” vent extension to the vent elbow by using two screws provided, placing them 180° apart.

OPTIONAL VERTICAL AND

HORIZONTAL VENT KIT #900124-8

The opening through the wall should be cut at this time. If the opening has not been cut, refer back to that section.

1.First it must be determined how far the vertical (3” dia.) telescoping flue sections are set and locked together using the two screws supplied as shown below.
