14.Move outdoors with all the remaining vent parts. Using the tube of sealant supplied, run an ample amount on the inside surface of the collar assembly that will contact the exterior wall and also fill the bead on the end of the 6” diameter vent collar.

FIGURE 87

15.Install the vent collar assembly through the wall, connecting it to the 6” telescoping extension. Remember, the extension is not connected yet and it may be necessary to go back indoors and push it back up for a tight fit to the collar.

FIGURE 88

16.We have supplied 4 wood screws to temporarily attach the collar to the exterior wall of the building. However, other types of screws may have to be substituted depending on the construction of the exterior wall.

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

FIGURE 90

18.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.

19.Move indoors to complete the assembly process.

20.Collapse the 6” vent extension pipes as shown below 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 assembly to the studs in the elbow.

FIGURE 92

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 93

21.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.
