19.Now the 6” vent extension pipes can be expanded to connect at the vent elbow.
FIGURE 74
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.

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.

2.Set the vertical (3” dia.) telescoping flue section in place on the flue collar. Using a #22 drill bit, drill two holes (180° apart) and screw the vertical assembly to the flue collar.
