16.Go back indoors to attach inside collar to the inside wall. Place the collar against the wall. Secure to wall by using 4 long sheet metal screws.
FIGURE 30
NOTE: Screws are supplied; however, substitution may be necessary depending on the interior wall material.
17.Using the tube of sealant supplied, run an ample amount of sealant around the edge of the vent pipe where it is inserted through the inside collar to seal air drafts from wall.

Use the simple equation below, chart and drawing to find the length of expansion of the telescoping flue sections. Because of manufacturing tolerances, place the telescoping extension on the water heater and adjust the height (“X” Dimension) and mark the point. Once the length has been determined, lock the two sections together by drilling two holes (180° apart) in the pipe and securing with the screws supplied.
EQUATION: C - A -10” = X

The opening through the wall should be cut at this time. If it hasn’t been, 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.
